Herd Joins
Test Program
DeFOREST. Wis. David S.
and Robin D. Dum of Mt. Joy,
Pennsylvania have signed on as a
contract herd in the American
Breeders Service (ABS) progeny
test (PT) program.
In this program, the Dum Farm
is to use semen from young dairy
bulls being tested by ABS. The
ABS PT program is unique be
cause it allows test herds to select
which young bulls they would like
to sample, while also allowing
them the option to have ABS send
them semen from a non-specific
young sire.
The goal in either case is to have
each progeny tested young sire re
ceive a highly reliable sire sum
mary at the conclusion of the test
ing period.
ABS selects PT herds based on
management practices, including
accurate record-keeping programs
and animal identification program.
The management of the PT herd
affects the quality of the data ABS
receives. ABS relies on the con
tract herds for accurate animal
identification and official DHIA
records.
After receiving this data, the
Dum Farm is to receive benefit
payments from ABS for each FT
calf bom, and again for each PT
sired daughter included on the
sire’s second USDA summary.
Producers interested in more in
formation on the ABS PT program
should contact their local ABS rep
resentative.
