Hi CWT Consultants,
I’ve just uploaded a piece entitled, “Investing in genetics when cash flow is tight.” Please see “GeneticTips Aug 2018” in the >Consultant Files section of CWT Group. In addition, at some point in the near future this will be posted to DairyBusiness.com.
There are many good Holstein bulls around that can help herds to continue making good genetic progress – 100 of these will be in the Top 100 TPI and Top 100 NM$ lists. An additional ~200-400 high genetics, high profit potential proven and genomic sires fall outside of the Top 100 lists. The document intends to help herds prioritize and focus on priorities to identify sires that meet their herd genetic and cash flow needs.
What are the discussions your herds are having about sire selection in today’s dairy economy?

The file is listed at August 2018 Faust (1). I just downloaded it and will read it tonight.
My bad, Marj has 2 files there. The second is GeneticTips Aug 2018. Both worth the read
Wondering about what discussions your herds are having about genetics and sire selection in today’s dairy economy. Look forward to your feedback.
