At ABS, we shifted our focus to create a variety of balanced genetics that produce healthy, profitable cows, allowing you to decide what traits are most important to you. Hear how dairy producers are maximizing profits, improving efficiency, and enhancing sustainability through a partnership with ABS.
A pregnancy on your dairy has two paths it can take in terms of outcomes. It can be an investment for future profitability otherwise known as your heifer replacements, or a positive cash flow calf which are your beef crosses. This is where a sexed and beef strategy begins and neither bucket should have more calves in it than the number you need.
As an enhanced selection method, a Custom Index goes beyond the limitations national evaluations pose for dairies and genetic progress. National evaluations like Net Merit are a one size fits all approach. A Custom Index allows you to customize trait selection based on your milk market, facilities, and business style.
