[00:00:00]Genetic evaluation historically has been more focused on the breeding and so the selection decisions are on which bulls to be using and the and the seed stock or the the stud market, but what we're seeing is massive opportunities on the commercial space for genetic evaluations and genomic predictions and EBVs to inform decisions that are being made in the commercial production all the way through into feedlots and meat processing as far as, you know, which animals should be getting the investment and feed to finish them all the way through. That's not That's not a breeding decision. It is a selection decision in some sense. Yeah.
