Why Balanced ABS Sires Are the Better Choice
So, what is a balanced sire? Balance means having good or equal amounts of all the necessary parts of something, and that is exactly what balanced ABS sires bring to a strong dairy genetics strategy. These bulls transmit well across key profit traits and are easy to use in a dairy genetic plan. Balanced ABS sires are true all-around bulls with many strengths and very few weaknesses, helping producers use dairy genetics to profit from genetic progress.
Within a balanced genetic plan, ABS sires help you create cows that:
- Produce more value over their lifetime
- Never visit the hospital pen
- Require fewer health interventions
- Breed back early year after year
- Stay in the herd longer
- Contribute more to your bottom line
Instead of focusing on a single trait or industry index, we recommend using a customized genetic plan that includes balanced ABS sires to create productive, healthy, fertile, and long-lasting cows that are profitable year after year. When you prioritize balanced dairy genetics, you can profit from genetic progress, enhance herd efficiency and performance, and reduce the risk of setbacks caused by short-sighted genetic selection decisions.
GALACTIC and LOTTERY are more than exciting new release sires. They are examples of the balanced dairy genetics producers need to build healthier, more productive, and more profitable herds that ABS strives to create. With elite rankings, well-rounded genetic trait profiles, and the backing of ABS greats built for long-term success, both bulls offer a strong opportunity to help your herd profit from genetic progress.
