Can anyone predict where the dairy industry is heading? It is easier to predict changes you need to make to increase your competitive edge. One of these is to bring your Protein production up to match recent gains in Butterfat. Another is to create MORE ROBUST, MORE CAPACIOUS, MORE MOBILE trouble-free cows to match your milking, housing and feeding environments.
Genetics is not well utilized if all you consider is “ranking” today. You have to build a cow that is adaptable to future changes, that will have the vigor to live a full life (not die just as she should get rolling after a second or third calf). The combination of higher mature production and lower replacement costs gives you the economic edge that the average cow does not give the average dairy today.
If accomplishing this from breeding seems perplexing to you, give us a chance to add some direction to your matings and provide some useful outcross sires.
