MATTISON STATE COLLEGE (Centre) Variation among people, animals and practices is what produces diversity. Seldom is one piece of advice appropriate for everyone. Use of AI on heifers may be an important exception for dairy farmers. Using AI dairy sires on heifers has long been a recommended practice, yet adoption has been slow and thousands of excuses can be obtained for not using AI in the heifer breeding program. In many herds, the milking cow and new born calf are the focus of dairy pro ducer’s concerns. Heifers fall into the category of “out of sight-out of mind.” Yet their well-being repre sents a significant capital invest ment and “genetic warehouse” in any dairy operation. By slightly modifying management practices and implementing an AI program in these heifers, significant returns in both investment and genetics will be available for dairy Announcing COLONIAL DECORATING , INC Painting And Waterproofing We Can Do It All! • Farms • Roofs • Wallpapering • Industrial • Commercial • Residential Sandblasting Modac Application Epoxies, Vinyls Acrylics Dry Fog Bar Joist Ceilings Interior And Exterior Over 40 Years Experience Call For A Free Estimate Henry Sellers or Gary Buchter We Would Like Your Business COLONIAL DECORATING , INC, Rt. 272 P.O.

A recent Virginia Tech study (which included 500,000 freshen ings from January 1966 to April 1985) indicated the frequency of calves produced by heifers and by older cows. Almost 32% of aU calvings occured in heifers. Thus the significance of heifer AI is obvious. In a 200 cow herd, natural service for heifers would equate to passing up the opportunity to have 15 additional AI sired replace ments available per year. Heifer calves resulting from “jumper bulls” or beef sires are genetic liabilities, offering less economic return across their entire lifetimes. This difference can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars of income to a dairy pro ducer using AI and especially Heifer AI. These facts make it clear that “one small step”, the addition of Heifer AI to a breeding program, will add “Giant Genetic and Economic Returns” to dairy farm profitability.
