(1) Background: Target capture sequencing (TCS) is potentially a cost-effective way to detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and an alternative to SNP array-based genotyping. (2) Methods: We evaluated the effectiveness and reliability of TCS in cattle breeding scenarios using 48 female and 8 male samples. DNA was extracted from blood samples, targeted for 71,746 SNPs with TWIST probes, and sequenced on an MGI platform. GATK and BCFtools were evaluated for the best genotyping calling tool. The genotypes were compared to existing genotypes from the Versa50K SNP array of the same animals by measuring accuracy as concordance (%) and R
