Education:


Dr. Notter conducts research in animal breeding and genetics and serves as chair of the Department's Graduate Education Committee. Research with sheep focuses on genetic control of seasonal breeding and development of selection procedures for accelerated lambing systems. Beef cattle research deals primarily with use of theory, computer simulation and field data to study procedures for genetic evaluation of cattle. Particular areas of interest include development of across-breed expected progeny differences, genetic evaluation of reproductive traits and accommodation of genotype x environment interaction in genetic evaluation systems. He has also been involved in study of genetic resource conservation and utilization programs and management of endangered populations.
