Economic selection indexes are profit motivated. Cattlemen realize that Profit = Income - Cost. Economic selection indexes can help us meet our breeding objects. Indexes also helps us avoid single-trait selection.

Bull A has a selection index of $83. Bull B has an index of $76. Thus, Bull A produces calves that are $7/calf more valuable on average than Bull B calves.
