A question normally asked revolves around <strong>how farmers determine which cows get which product type. <\/strong>As we just discussed, the first step is determining <strong>how many heifers need to be kept.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once that question is answered, producers can dive into thinking about strategies. The next step is <strong>identifying the genetically superior females<\/strong> in your herd are which depends on how much of an investment you make in either genomic testing or analyzing pedigrees and genetic data. TA simple strategy using genomic testing would be to breed the top percent of your herd to sexed semen, the bottom to beef genetics, and the middle to conventional semen. While this practice is seen in the industry, most producers are <strong>reducing the use of conventional semen <\/strong>and <strong>using sexed genetics and beef semen to make each calf more valuable.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To learn more about determining which females get bred with which product, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/who-qualifies-for-sexed-conventional-or-beef-semen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>read our blog on determining who qualifies for sexed, conventional, or beef semen.<\/em><\/a><em><\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/how-to-choose-the-right-beef-sires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><strong>How to Choose the Right Beef Sires<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four key factors to consider in choosing beef sires that <strong>will not compromise reproduction in your dairy <\/strong>but <strong>maximize return on the beef cross calves you created.<\/strong> We know that genetics, fertility, and calving traits all drive profitability.
