Maximize Your Profit With Long-Lasting, Trouble-Free Cows
You want to maximize your herd's profitability by breeding cows for high production levels and excellent health traits - cows that breed back easily, have a low incidence of mastitis, and are productive members of your herd for several lactations. In the United States, concerns about high replacement cow costs have driven increased interest as well.
That's why Health Traits are an important part of your genetics program. Sires who rank high on health traits like Productive Life (PL), Somatic Sell Score (SCS), and Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR), as well as lower Calving Ease (CE) and Stillbirth (SB), produce cows who are very valuable to your dairy operation.
Before the coined phrase 'Health Traits' became popular, Accelerated Genetics saw the importance of producing long-lasting, trouble-free cows and began selecting genetic packages for the PACE young sire program that would meet the modern market demands.
That's why Accelerated Genetics offers many health trait-leading sires, including 014HO03597 Potter, 014HO04148 Nifty, and 014HO04099 Billion. Health Traits have already become widely utilized by producers around the globe using these selection tools to create more profitable cows.
