What We Do
Breeding Manager
Selecting the best value for money bulls and mating them to the best cows is a key management decision for every dairy business as poor decisions are difficult to correct and can have a huge impact on the profitability of your business.
There are over 1600 bulls available in the UK and with the introduction of genomic bulls there is the potential for greater confusion with a very risk of inbreeding.
Our Breeding Manager service provides independent advice from Kevin Lane who has over 25 years experience in breeding profitable dairy cows. The Breeding Manager service includes the following:
- A farm visit to see the cows and to discuss your breeding aims
- A breeding report which reviews the current herd, semen purchases, the Cow Production Index, linear averages, the cow ranking, recommended bulls and their production and type PTAs
- Mating your cows through an independent program which checks for inbreeding without being tied to a semen supplier
- A ‘barn sheet’ to provide the individual cow matings for the next 6 months
