The best herd of his career

Since the beginning of ProCROSS, the cows are more robust, and the health problems have disappeared. Also, the calving interval has decreased by 50 days to be 380 days now. “From my point of view, the biggest change is the culling rate. It has gone from over 40% to less than 30%, which allows me to use beef semen and reduce my breeding costs.”

“I can say that this is the best herd I have had since the beginning of my career.”
