“With the exorbitant cost of raising heifers and being in
an extremely competitive market with narrow profit
margins, one can’t afford to raise the wrong heifers.
GENEadvance from ABS has helped us transition to
genomic testing easily and thus identify the heifers that
we would like female offspring from and breed with Sexcel
and those we would rather breed with Beef Infocus. We
have made significant genetic improvements in a very
short period of time. Our investment in genetics has been
one of our greatest investments to date.”
