economic values and heritability
of traits as people put together an
incredible range of genetic re
cipes.
“USDA’s Net Merit Index is
the best starting point for over 95
percent of our dairy producers,”
Wilson continued. “And the best
method of sorting reliable bull
proofs is the “S” (stud sampled)
code.”
CRI has just announced its
MVP sire program, encouraging
producers to use sires that are stud
sampled and in the 80th percentile
for Net Merit These sires, desig
nated as MVP (Maximum Value
and Profitability) sires, “will be
come a household word within
CRI membership.” Wilson stated.
Another area of emphasis for
the cooperative is in the area of
beef. 'This organization has made
excellent progress in sire selec
tion, marketing growth and in
creasing general awareness of
beef programming,” Wilson
stated. “However, it is clear to me
we must stretch our beef invest
ment and commitment” he added.
The third area Wilson discussed
was what he called his “biggest in
dustry concern.” It deals with
genetic education. “If people do
not recognize the highest return on
all annual operating costs is gene
tics if people do not realize the
difference in bulk tank yield from
using high versus low active sires
—and, if people will not differen
tiate genetics in their buying ha
bits, we have invested 100 much in
product development,” Wilson
stated.
