Summary. The efficiency improving of selection and breeding work is possible only based on the use of accurate methods for assessing the breeding value. It allows to determine the genetic potential of animal productivity and predict the productivity of their progeny with a high degree of confidence. There is a need to develop appropriate statistical methods, which based on the productivity of descendants, would make it possible to predict the breeding value of their fathers.

To assess the breeding value of beef sires, the most significant breeding characteristics are determined. An algorithm for calculating the breeding value of producers by the offspring live weight is given. The procedure for constructing linear biometric models, converting the least squares equations into mixed model equations, solving the mixed model equations, obtaining matrices, determining the evaluation of breeding value, and calculating the accuracy of the evaluation is shown.

Key words: beef cattle, predicted breeding value, the method of the best linear unbiased forecast – BLUP, selectional feature, biometric model.
