4 President Van die >> From the - Arno Theron Soos die bankbestuurders altyd sê, daar is niemand meer positief as n boer nie, volgende jaar sal beter wees! Dit is baie relevant op die jaar wat op sy einde is. Die uitmergelende droogte in die meeste dele van die land, eis sy tol en ons dink aan ons telers wat hierdie stryd tesame met moeilike ekonomiese tye uitspook. Jersey SA was ook deur diep waters, maar ons is daar deur en die raad is positief ingestel om planne en strategië uit te werk wat vir alle lede baat sal laat vind. Hiermee verwelkom ek ook alle heraansluitings en nuwe lede en ek verseker u van ons goeie diens. Enige voorstelle van lede is welkom en word met respek hanteer. as we are currently finalising a work plan. Preparations for the National Show 2016 are also in an advanced stage. We invite every member to join us, not only show enthusiasts, but everybody with respect for the Jersey breed. We as council appreciate your support. We value imputs from experienced breeders. We wish every breeder the best of luck with their enterprise breeding Jerseys for tomorrow and setting an example for the dairy industry. From Jersey SA council and staff, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Van Jersey SA raad en personeel wens ons u n Gesëende Kersfees en n voorspoedige Nuwe Jaar toe. Our genomic project is well under way and you will be well informed in the coming months 4

5 We still need phenotypes Genomic evaluations have become an essential tool in producers decision-making toolbox. Yet, without type traits, genomics aren t worth much. by Amanda Smith, Associate Editor. Hoard s Dairyman Intel 2015 Genomics have changed how dairies are run, said Joåo Dürr, chief executive officer of the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding, while presenting at the American Jersey Cattle Association s annual meeting. Genetics and cattle management used to be separate domains. But, genomic evaluations are finally being seen as a management tool that bolsters producers decision-making process. As the generation interval has shortened since 2009, young animals have come to rule the roost, stated Dürr. More and more, dairymen are using a heifer s genetic snapshots to determine if its genes will be carried into future generations or if its genetic progress has reached the end of the road. These changes challenge the traditional business model. We all need to adapt to the reality of what s in front of us, added Dürr. Yet, while genomics now play an integral role in many farms breeding decisions, Dürr noted that genotypes are not the most important data we have. Phenotypes, or type traits, outrank genotypes. We need to continue collecting type trait data. Without it, genomics aren t worth much. Furthermore, there is a need to share data and collaborate among breeds, both domestically and globally. To enable better predictions, more information is needed, said Dürr. More data, though, isn t enough. Reliable records are essential. Otherwise we have a garbage in, garbage out scenario, he added. With genomics has come an overwhelming demand for new services. A lot of work is needed to train and retain young people as we continue to drive the field forward, commented Dürr. 5

8 Die ratte agter Logix Melk Genetiese Ontledings deur Dr. BE Mostert 8

9 n Teelwaarde is n beraming van die genetiese waarde van n dier vir n sekere eienskap en is die akkuraatste inligting wat ons telers kan gebruik om seleksie-besluite te neem. Die inligting waarop die beraming van teelwaardes gebaseer word, i.e. metings en stamboominligting, is van kardinale belang, want dit bepaal die betroubaarheid van beraming. Die heel eerste teelwaarde wat n bulletjie of versie ontvang, sal beraam word tydens die eerste Logix Melk Genetiese Ontleding nadat hulle geboorte-kennisgewings ontvang en op Logix vasgelê is. Telers wat dus gereeld geboorte-kennisgewings instuur, kan al reeds op n baie vroeë ouderdom n aanduiding van die dier se genetiese meriete ontvang. Hierdie teelwaardes, wat nog op geen metings gebaseer is nie (jong bulletjies met nog geen gemete dogters en versies wat nog nie gekalf het nie), word mid-ouer teelwaardes genoem, omdat dit voorspel word as die gemiddeld van die twee ouers se teelwaardes. Dit gebeur egter dikwels dat jong diere geregistreer word op Logix, maar ouerinligting word eers later ingestuur. Dit veroorsaak groot veranderinge in die mid-ouer teelwaardes van die betrokke diere tussen opvolgende Logix Melk Genetiese Ontledings. Mid-ouer teelwaardes se betroubaarheid hang natuurlik af van hoe akkuraat die ouers se teelwaardes beraam is. Jong diere wie se vaders alreeds honderde gemete dogters het en wie se moeders ook self gemeet was, se mid-ouer teelwaardes is n baie meer betroubare aanduiding van hulle genetiese meriete in vergelyking met dié met vaders wat slegs enkele gemete dogters en met moeders wat geen laktasie-inligting het nie. Die betroubaarheid van mid-ouer teelwaardes varieer gevolglik tussen 0 40% en dit is hoekom die insluiting van genomiese inligting in die beraming van jong diere se teelwaardes die melkbedryf wêreldwyd met soveel passie en entoesiasme oorrompel het. Genomiese inligting dui aan watter spesifieke genetiese komplemente die diere vanaf beide ouers ontvang het. Volsibbe se genomies verrykte teelwaardes sal dus verskil, terwyl hulle mid-ouer teelwaardes sonder die insluiting van genomiese inligting, Daar is n groot komponent van die betroubaarheid van teelwaardes wat in die hande van die teler self rus presies dieselfde sal wees. Dit verhoog die betroubaarheid van mid-ouer teelwaardes tot op dieselfde vlak as bv. die insluiting van tien gemete dogters se inligting vir jong bulletjies in genetiese ontledings. Telers word dus aangemoedig om veral hoë potensiaal jong diere genomies te laat toets deur SA Stamboek se Genomiese Seleksie Diens, sodat hierdie genomiese inligting in die Logix Melk Genetiese Ontledings ingesluit kan word en seleksie-besluite van jong diere op n vroeë ouderdom meer akkuraat kan plaasvind. Die korrekte en tydige vaslegging van stamboominligting kan nooit oorbeklemtoon word nie. Stamboominligting bind diere vanuit dieselfde familielyne in n Genetiese Ontleding aanmekaar, sodat metings van verwantes wat in verskillende kuddes en oor verskillende jare geneem is, alles bydrae tot die beraming van n spesifieke dier se teelwaardes. Geregistreerde Jersey kuddes se stamboominligting is baie volledig. In die Feb/Mrt 2015 Logix Melk Genetiese Ontleding was 215 aktiewe koeie (0.4%) se vaderinligting en 474 (0.96%) se moederinligting onbekend. Daar is egter op n gereelde basis stamboomfoute wat deur SA Stamboek se Genomiese Seleksie Diens vasgestel word, sodat n verdere voordeel van genomiese toetsing die vas- en regstelling van foutiewe stamboominligting is. Sodra metings van n koei of van n bul se dogters beskikbaar is, word dit ingesluit by die Genetiese Ontleding om teelwaardes van baie hoër betroubaarhede as midouer teelwaardes te voorspel. Vanuit die prestasie van n koei in vergelyking met die gemiddeld van haar kontemporêre groep, kan vasgestel word of haar genetiese meriete op die gemiddeld, beter of swakker as haar mid-ouer teelwaardes is. n Kontemporêre groep is al die koeie van dieselfde kudde wat aan dieselfde behandelings- en omgewingstoestande blootgestel was. Die verskille tussen hierdie koeie word dus as verskille in genetiese potensiaal vasgestel. Metings van produksie eienskappe (melk, bottervet en proteïen), begin by die melkmonstertjie wat op die plaas geneem word n kosbare botteltjie wat baie inligting oor die betrokke koei insluit. SA Stamboek het stappe in plek om data-insameling van 9

10 10

11 Logix Melk so akkuraat as moontlik te laat verloop, bv. deur volgens ICAR riglyne te werk, slegs van geakkrediteerde laboratoriums gebruik te maak, biologiese filters in te bou in data-vasleggingstelsels, korrekte aanpassingsfaktore vir enkelmonsterneming te gebruik, opvolging van foutlyste te doen, ensovoorts. n Groot komponent van betroubare data-insameling en gevolglik akkurate teelwaardes, is natuurlik in die hande van die teler self, bv. Die akkurate neem van melkmonsters en melkgewigte, korrekte hantering van melkmonsters, getroue deelname aan Melkaantekeninge en korrektheid en eerlikheid ten opsigte van data en stamboom-informasie. SA Stamboek se Logix Melk Genetiese Ontledings is internasionaal geakkrediteer deur INTERBULL. Om n hoë kwaliteit Genetiese Ontleding te verseker, moet die data wat ingesluit word aan die volgende vereistes voldoen: Slegs data van koeie met ten minste een bekende ouer. Toetsdagrekords van n koei word eers ingesluit wanneer sy ten minste 3 toetse in n laktasie het. Slegs data vanaf toetse vanaf 1989 (behalwe vir toetse van laktasies wat reeds in 1988 begin het). Slegs data vanaf toetse van die eerste 3 laktasies word gebruik, vanaf dae in melk. Geen onbekende kuddes, geboortedatums of kalfdatums word toegelaat nie. Verskille in stadium van laktasie tussen koeie van dieselfde kontemporêre groep word vergelykbaar gestel deur n kurwe te pas op dae in melk van die betrokke laktasie. Verskillende kurwes word gepas vir elke ouderdomsgroep- en seisoen van kalwingskombinasie. Dit is dus noodsaaklik dat toetse van n koei aan die volgende vereistes moet voldoen: Die eerste toets van n laktasie moet voor of op 70 dae in melk wees. Geen interval langer as 100 dae tussen toetse van dieselfde laktasie word toegelaat nie. Slegs 1 interval langer as 75 dae in melk en minder as 100 dae in melk word toegelaat. Laktasies wat voor 60 dae in melk eindig, word uitgesluit. Kalfinterval (indien van toepassing) moet langer as 280 dae wees, anders word voorafgaande laktasie uitgegooi. Ouderdomsgrense: Laktasie 1 : Laktasie 2 : Laktasie 3 : Produksiegrense: maande maande maande Melkproduksie: 2 70kg Bottervet % : 2 12% Proteïen % : 2 6% Fakore wat die betroubaarheid van teelwaardes beïnvloed, kan dus as volg saamgevat word: Volledigheid van stamboominligting: Is die koei se ouers bekend? Hoe volledig en korrek is die stamboominligting van die ras? Hoe sterk is die genetiese koppeling tussen die kuddes van die ras? Volledigheid van metings: Was die koei self gemeet vir die eienskap? Hoeveel verwantes van die koei was gemeet? Hoe groot was die kontemporêre groep waarin die koei gemeet was? Hoeveel vaders is verteenwoordig in die kontemporêre groep waarin die koei gemeet was? Hoe akkuraat is die metings geneem? Wat is die proporsionele deelname van die ras aan Melkaantekeninge? Genetiese Aspekte: Wat is die oorerfbaarheid van die eienskap? Hoe omvattend is die genetiese model wat gebruik word om die teelwaardes te beraam? Die oorerfbaarheid van die eienskap het n groot invloed op die betroubaarheid van die teelwaardes. Hoe hoër die oorerfbaarheid van die eienskap, hoe hoër sal die betroubaarheid wees waarmee die teelwaarde voorspel word. By die laag oorerfbare eienskappe, soos Funksionele Kuddelewe en Kalfinterval, moet baie meer dogters byoorbeeld gemeet word om dieselfde betroubaarheid te kan bereik as dié van die produksie eienskappe. Om goed te weet, moes jy goed meet! Ten slotte: Telers kan self n groot rol speel om teelwaardes se betroubaarheid en stabiliteit te verseker en rasverbetering n hupstoot te gee. 11

22 Letter to the editor 22 Dear Fellow Jersey Breeders It is accepted that the Danish Jersey System is probably the most progressive and thorough cattle testing system, certainly in the Dairy world. That is because over 90% of cows are registered, milk recorded and as a result there are enough records from enough animals to make it meaningful. The proofs that come out of this team work provide detailed and reliable figures that allow the BREED AS A WHOLE to make huge strides in improvement for the worlds Jersey population.this same effort is reflected in other Jersey populations around the world. The common denominator between the Jersey populations that are making significant progress are registrations because allied to this comes milk recordings and therefore figures that are available to produce bulls and identify bull mothers that without, there can be NO PROGRESS. All major Jersey populations the world over are growing well against the general decline in other dairy breeds. Sadly this is not the case in SA. The failure to fully recognise the need for numbers and figures that produce the scientific backup for breed improvement is a black mark against us as breeders. Without the numbers of cows registered, and milk recorded there will simply not be enough figures to make meaningful progress at any level. Having said all that and having milk registered Jerseys on milk recording I recognise that there are a host of other issues that face SA farmers that the rest of the world does not have to contend with, such as a particularly hostile climate and Govt. Coupled with this there seems to be an unhealthy relationship between milk buyer and supplier, and a lack of honest communication between the two. It is acknowledged that the Jersey is the most efficient and productive dairy animal on the planet in its pure form. Many SA dairy farmers seem hell bent on a path that I dont fully understand that dictates that whatever one is presented with they can do better. In other words being presented with the most efficient dairy animal in the world, lets now cross breed and produce the ugliest animal alive because if the Kiwis are doing it, it must be better! After all it is just a cash machine and nothing more. I have issue with that approach as it smacks of a lack of pride in dealing with a valued product(the jersey cow) and that age old dignified sense of wanting to breed the best, seems to be thrown out the window in the rush for a cash machine at all costs. In the economic crunch that dairy farmers constantly seem to be in, there are many more efficient ways of cutting costs than cancelling milk recording and registrations. These figures as costs of the total have time and again been proven to be miniscual in the scheme of dairy farming and are not real savers. To cancel registrations because one has issue with certain personalities involved with the breed is simply immature and detrimental to all. Probably the greatest Breeder and genetisist of all times Prof. Jan Bonsma said a man must measure. My intention in penning this letter is not to upset anyone but rather to appeal to the sensibilities I know exist in the majority of Jersey farmers out there, both commercial and stud to look for the greater picture for the breed. The only reason we have pure breeds left that have contributed to where we as a human race stand today are because gentlemen of old bred the best they could, but to do that they had to keep records. Pure Jersey Greetings Charles Cadman

26 A family affair The Highveld Jersey Club ended the year on a high note with the completion of a successful on-farm herd challenge. The week s judging ended in the Kruger National Park, where contestants, judges and the club s management, friends and families, enjoyed a weekend together. - Courtesy of The Dairy Mail The judges, Niel Jansen van Rensburg and Pierre Coetzee, were impressed with the cows on display. This year, we say farewell to Niel but welcome Pierre. Hopefully, we ll see him next year too, says Liezel Olivier, club secretary and one of the organisers of the onfarm challenge. I would like to thank all the contestants who took part in the challenge, Liezel says. We appreciate the efforts of all the farmers and their managers who made sure that the judges had a tough time deciding between the entrants. She says the challenge would not have been possible without the farmer s wives, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to provide a hearty meal or snacks to the travelling group. A special thanks to all the sponsors who joined in with cash and prizes, in particular Afgri. They sponsored the accommodation in Gravelotte, which included all the food and drinks. Part of the fun was the unforgettable opportunity to watch a rhino feeding, which Leon Thom, a dairy farmer near Gravelotte, organised for the group. After years of service on the club committee, Liezel also stepped down as club secretary this year. As I say my farewell, we welcome Lientjie du Plooy to the Highveld Jersey family.

34 Is daar n toekoms vir melkboer? deur Koos Coetzee 34

35 In die huidige omstandighede met laer melkpryse, steeds stygende voer- en ander insetpryse en n El Nino wat steeds groter afmetings aanneem vra boere dikwels of daar nog n toekoms vir melkboere is. In die artikel bekskou MPO ekonoom Dr Koos Coetzee die langtermyn vooruitsigte vir melkboere. Internasionale situasie Internasionale suiwelpryse het in 2013 skerp gestyg. Dit het tot hoër produsentepryse gelei wat weer tot hoër produksie gelei het. Gelyktydig hiermee het die wêreldekonomie verstadig wat tot laer vraag gelei het. Die vraagsituasie is verder versleg deur die Russiese boikot van suiwelinvoere en n skerp daling in die vraag na suiwel vanuit Sjina. Onsekerheid oor die moontlike effek van die afskaffing van produksiekwotas in die Europese Unie (EU) het tot verdere prysverlagings gelei. Produsentepryse in belangrike uitvoerlande het die dalende tendens gevolg. Internasionale produkpryse daal vanaf Januarie 2014 tot Augustus 2015 met 62%. Laer produsentepryse het reeds tot laer produksie gelei. Produksie in meeste uitvoerlande groei in 2015 stadiger as wat dit in 2014 gegroei het. Verwagtige van n skerp styging in EU produksie na die afskaffing van kwotas realiser nie, Nieu-Seealandse produksiegroei voldoen nie aan verwagtinge nie en droogte knou Australië se produksie. Die stadiger produksie groei het reeds tot n styging in produkpryse gelei. Internasionale pryse herstel vanaf begin Augustus met 27%. Korttermyn verwagtinge is dat internasionale pryse teen die middel van 2016 grootliks sal herstel. Die negatiewe faktore wat tot laer pryse aanleiding gegee het is egter nog aanwesig. Die Russiese boikot is verleng vir nog n jaar, Sjina se oordadige aankope vroeg in 2014 het tot die opbou van voorraad in Sjina gelei. Die Europese Unie sit ook steeds op groot hoeveelhede melkpoeier en botter. Die herstel gaan dus onegalig en baie volatiel wees. Die langtermyn voorusitsigte vir suiwel bly positief. Die wêreldbevolking groei vining. Tersefdertyd styg die persentasie van die bevolking wat in die middelklas is ook skerp. Dit lei daartoe dat per kapita verbruik van suiwelprodukte ook styg. Elke dag is daar dus meer mense en elkeen van die gebruik so klein bietjie meer suiwel. Dit gaan opwaartse druk op suiwelprodukpryse plaas. Suid Afrikaanse situasie Melkproduksie in Suid-Afrika toon reeds vir n paar jaar stewige groei. Produksie groei van 2012 tot 2013 met 2,2% en van 2013 tot 2014 met 2,6%. Melkproduksie versnel vanaf September 2014 en vir die eerste tien maande van 2015 is produksie 7,7% meer as in die eerste tien maande van Verskeie faktore dra by hiertoe. Melkprodusente in die Oos-Kaap en deels ook in die Suid-Kaap beleef baie gunstige produksie toestande, graanpryse bly relatief laag en produsentepryse styg sodat die winsgewendheid van melkproduksie baie verhoog. Die stygende tendens duur voort tot in Julie vanjaar. Sedertdien verstadig melkproduksiegroei tot 2,8% in Oktober vanjaar, die laagste groei sedert Augustus Die redes vir die afname in produksiegroei is die minder gunstige melk:voerprysverhouding wat veroorsaak is deur laer produsentepryse en hoër veevoerpryse. Laer ruvoerbeskikbaarheid, basiseffekte, produksiekwotas en die beskikbaarheid van besproeiingswater beperk produksiegroei verder. Vooruitsigte vir die komende jaar is tans nog onseker. Melkproduksie vanaf weidings in die Oos-Kaap en vanaf totaal gemengde rantsoen (TGR) sal produksie in stand hou. Hoewel daar nie n daling in melkproduksie verwag word nie, sal produksie groei verder beperk word in komende maande. Ten spyte van die laaste twee maande se internasionale prysdalings is invoerpariteit steeds bo plaaslike produsentepryse. Dit behoort invoere te beperk. Laer invoere en n matige styging in uitvoere sal die plaaslike aanbod beperk. Die eerste tekens dat melkverwerkers produsentepryse gaan verhoog is reeds sigbaar. Teen huidige inset- en produsentepryse word produsente nie aangemoedig om produksie uit te brei nie. Prysstygings is dus dringend nodig om produksie te stabiliseer. Produsente kan waarskynlik uitsien na beter pryse in Die positiewe internasionale langtermynvooruitsigte beïnvloed ook die plaaslike situasie deur invoere te beperk en geleenthied vir suiweluitvoere te skep. 35

40 Profit when the tide is turned against Dairy farmers, the Blenheim example by Dr Japie v.d Westhuizen 40 An extremely successful milk production information day was recently held at Blenheim, the farm of Gerhard and Millie van Rensburg, winners of the 2014/15 Stud Book Logix Milk herd of the year. The theme of the day was: Profit drivers in milk production ; with a subscript: do the opposite of the obvious. The day was attended by more than 50 people, including 18 dairy farmers from the Eastern Cape. Gerhard and Andrew Masterson, breeder of Holstein and Jersey cattle from Oyster Bay shared their knowledge and experiences. Gerhard keeps a pasture based dairy herd but, to counter drought and other adverse conditions, he also makes use of a cafeteria (Kempen, full feed free access to hay) system for some of his cows. This also enables him to expand vertically and optimise Gerhard van Rensburg the use of his resources and total investment. His margin on feed costs is basically the same for those cows on Kempen compared to those on pasture. The very clever shift of cows between the feeding systems enable him to evaluate the young ones first (first lactation) prior to moving them to tap their full potential when needed. The first question addressed is: What to do with a milk price that dropped as much as one Rand per kilogram? Besides management options, change in genetic merit of cows has also contributed towards a shift in break-even point per kilogram milk produced. In practice, Gerhard focusses in selecting for profit in his cows. He therefore challenges all females to comply with his minimum standards of production, milk composition, female fertility, herd life (longevity), udder health and ease of management. An obvious consideration is the manner he gets paid by his milk buyer, in this case, Parmalat. Based on this information and with the help of Dr Bernice Mostert from SA Stud Book (responsible for the genetic evaluations of the dairy breeds in South Africa) he manages to rank animals on their genetic merit for profitability. This ranking is for his own cows as well as potential AI bulls. The first test for females to be considered as replacements is their response in being able to calve early. She has to fit into the current average age at first calving for the herd of 22 and a half months of age. Similarly she has to fit into the reconception average being pregnant early. The average days in milk at first AI for the herd is 82 days. Females in first lactation do not have access to the Kempen system and have to produce at least 5 000kg of milk (305 days) to be considered in selection. Not only is calf mortality a non-event (only one calf lost in the last 4 years) but once considered in the herd, cows have to last very long. The investment in raising females is too high to carry non performers, justify high mortality for young calves and be subjected to high levels of involuntary culling. Involuntary culling levels is a mere 3.6% in the herd. In effect he has lowered the expense point for the calculation of margin over feed costs by almost 60 cents with these practices of severe Andrew Masterson

42 42 selection for profit drivers and recording all aspects related to management practices influencing margins. The lowering of the break-even point is over and above the extra income derived from the selling of females and breeding bulls to fellow dairy farmers. His extreme success with raising all female calves, early and regular female reproduction and functional herd life not only results in excess females but also ensures firm selection pressure to pick the most profitable females as replacements. Being a stud breeder also allows him to supply a market in need of properly genetically accessed and accurately selected replacement Jersey bulls. He keeps and raises the top 20% bull calves, based on their genetic merit. Animal sales add an extra 46 cents on his margin over feed costs on the milk sold, even if the additional costs of raising these calves are taken into account. Gerhard made it very clear that just about all information needed resolve around the milk samples he takes every 5 weeks. Logix milk, the Stud Book service not only provides him with tools to select the right replacements and for his AI bull selection, but also provides all necessary information to make the right day to day and longer term management decisions. Taking part in this service only costs a mere 0.03 cents per kilogram milk produced in his herd. The somatic cell count in the bulk tank is restricted to less than cells per millilitre. He uses the predictors from Logix Milk to monitor dry cow treatment, effectiveness of individual treatment and to keep track of the general herd and specific cow health in the herd. Preventative measures and very early signs for the possibility of sub clinical acidosis (especially cows on the Kempen system) is very important to Gerhard and Millie. The milk sample analysis with the informative graphs and cow action lists help with making timely decisions. It is of extreme importance to him to identify this when cows are still in sub clinical phases as the loss in revenue can be as high as 10 cents per litre. Of big importance is also to know the energy balance of each cow, especially in early lactation. This not only enables the maintenance of the desired calving interval (and using less semen straws per conception) but also ensures that cows reach their peak production and sustain the lactation curves. This is of special importance to firs calvers. The milk urea nitrogen analysis, reports and visual graphs of each cow also assist in making the right feeding decisions regarding precision protein and energy feeding. It is possible to monitor the effects of early pasture growth and how to balance free flow protein, the effect of heat waves and any over- or under-supply of energy. Although most milk buyers essentially favour volume in the price structure, a clear premium is paid for solids, in his case especially protein. Dairy producers are also awarded to produce milk with lower somatic cells and low bacterial counts. In preparation for this day Gerhard was again challenged to make sure how the payment system for his milk is constructed. A challenge he wants to extend to all fellow dairy producers. Participants to the information day was treated to a very special event. Gerhard picked is top genetically superior cows and the bottom ones, based on their profitability values, and displayed them with the assistance of Andrew Masterson. This part of the day draw active participation from the crowd. There were distinct differences between the two groups of cows. The profitable ones are roomier with capacity. The Blenheim herd does actively take part in showing animals but these cows would be able to stand their ground in any ring. Andrew treated everyone with clear pointers on what to look for when assessing the functionality of a dairy cow. Aspects that go hand in hand in cows to last and are typical of assuring more profit for their owners. Sharing knowledge and assisting fellow dairy producers is extremely important for the dairy industry. This day also illustrated the importance of knowing exactly what the profit drivers in a herd are and how to assess each and every of these factors in making management decisions. There is no compromise for recording and benchmarking. The Blenheim herd is a prime example of how all these factors are taken into account and utilised to make optimal use of all the available resources while still enjoying milking Jersey cows.
