After fifty years of telling you “all you need to do is use the highest index sires at random across your herd”, the industry is imploding of its own weight, merging into a handful of entities dependent on patented technologies that subsidize the heavy costs of IVF-ET and DNA testing to identify ranking Genomic young sires to breed your cows. This has “commoditized” semen to the point where many of them cannot recover all the costs of serving you, after having trivialized genetics.
In our case, we work with independent AI studs, often owned by people with the
experience of breeding their own herds, who still believe breeding
selection is a “profit center” for dairying, where you do not have to
settle for “above average” but can specifically select for the “exceptional”
lifetime performance that drives dairy profitability. Give these programs a try. You will not be disappointed.
