The current economic situation dictates
that dairy producers use all available tools
and resources to maximize efficiency.
Yearly milk yield is the most reliable
predictor of profitability. Because the
genetic base dictates each cow’s potential
for converting feed into milk, using 80+
percentile proved sires is strongly recommended
along with a 100% commitment to
artificial insemination of cows and heifers.
Current technology allows dairy producers
to make significant gains in resolving poor
reproductive performance.
A user friendly recordkeeping system to
routinely measure individual cows’ productivity
along with overall herd performance
is essential for maximizing return on capital
investment.
