If a herd chooses to genomic test, the benefit of the tool is the access to data that will assist you in making better breeding decisions.

To effectively manage milk quality and boost production, it is essential to ensure that cows are comfortable in their environment. Therefore, paying attention to proper udder care is crucial; neglecting it could jeopardize your operation’s bottom line.

In recent years, dairy crossbreeding has been a topic of conversation because it presents the opportunity to create a cow in one generation that is more efficient, makes fewer trips to the hospital pen and possesses better fertility. While the benefits of dairy crossbreeding can positively impact your herd, it does take the management of a focused genetic plan to incorporate.

Similar to our beef counterparts, we could someday assume that all dairy cows are polled. Because of genetic improvement, that assumption is closer than we might think. Don’t wait until the industry shifts. The future is polled.
