There is a $1000 profit per salable fresh heifer in current market prices over the costs of rearing a dairy heifer. When everyone is chasing the highest deacon calf prices, the opportunity in raising salable replacements just gets bigger and better.
The cycles in agriculture (prices and cost) always seem to favor that farmer who is able to pursue a counter-cyclical management strategy. In Dairy, that has always been the dairyman who produces more heifers than he needs. Today it pays the best it has ever paid in my lifetime. Is your breeding strategy up to the challenge to help supply the endless demand for replacement dairy cows? All it takes first is a shift in favor of “longevity” selection and “adaptable physique” mating.
Let us help you make that transition. You might even save money in the process short-term, but more importantly, will increase farm income longer-term.
