Sumario:The present work seeks to address a decision-making problem related to the selection of male bovine breeders based on their genetic quality. The different quality criteria were proposed and measured by INTA and private professionals. In addition, a survey of key actors in the sector was developed to obtain specific weights for each decision criterion. The decision alternatives were 20 breeders of the Angus and Hereford breeds, being auctioned off in the province of La Pampa. The TOPSIS multicriteria method was applied to simultaneously evaluate the different criteria, determining their importance and establishing a final ranking of the alternatives of breeders in relation to them and analyzing it with the developed fair auction. The results indicate that, with the multicriteria ranking obtained, no significant relationships were found between the attributes and the final prices paid by the breeders.
