Compared to other traits in the index, fertility carries the highest weighting and even more than calving ease, stillbirth and gestation length combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of purebred breeds, Beef InFocus sires are a SimAngus composite breed called the T14 line. These T14 sires are bred and selected based on the NuEra Profit Index to be the best cross for dairy cows. As a result, Beef InFocus T14 sires are 1.3 times more likely than purebred Angus sires to meet ABS fertility criteria. That means you\u2019d have to use 30% more Angus semen with unknown fertility to match Beef InFocus performance<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/04\/Fertility-first_chart.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11912\" style=\"width:375px;height:238px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/04\/Fertility-first_chart.png.webp 433w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/04\/Fertility-first_chart.png.webp?resize=300,190 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Speak to your preferred ABS Representative to find the right Beef InFocus sires for your herd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fertility is a top priority for Beef InFocus\u2122.
