A beef on dairy strategy allows you to diversify your income streams, use resources better, and improve farm efficiency and profitability. However, if you believe using just any ole beef sire will help you accomplish that, we encourage you to rethink that approach as it could be determinantal. The key to a successful beef on dairy program is utilizing the right beef genetics validated for dairy performance and intended for beef supply chain marketability.   From conception to consumption, Beef InFocus is the must-use beef on dairy program because it is designed to maximize beef supply chain profitability and is proven to maintain your dairy’s reproductive performance.

The illustration below demonstrates the breeding outcomes of using homozygous or heterozygous polled bulls. It is important to note that if you are working towards a polled herd, you can use a heterozygous polled (single P) sire with 50% of the resulting calves being polled. You can also use a homozygous polled (double PP) sire, resulting in 100% of the calves being polled. This means you can create a 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Have you ever wondered why the seats in your car are adjustable? Well, that’s because there are no two people who are exactly the same. Your legs might be a little longer than the person next to you  and that person’s arms might be a little longer than yours. Both seat settings would have to be a bit different to fit each of you perfectly.   𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯? It is simple, really. We can apply this same concept right to your dairy. Your dairy is also not the average. You have different wants, needs, and goals than the dairy down the road. Depending on where you are located and who you choose to sell your milk to, you also might have different milk markets compared to other dairies.   There is no average farm because every farm is unique.
