The release of our new financial index in the form of the Cogent Beef Impact is designed to reaffirm Cogent s Beef line-up that we offer and is aimed at dairy customers wanting to find bulls that will suit their systems for Ease of Management and added Market Value.

4 impact data Cogent s Beef Impact encompasses all the data we have collected in the last decade. Our strong Beef Vision s Programme is a true testament to Cogent s motto Breeding Innovation and is renowned worldwide. Our new Cogent Beef Impact has been formulated purely with the dairy farmer in mind, to push the growing industry forward and make a positive impact on profits made from beef calves. The Cogent Beef Impact ( CBI) is a combination of the Ease of Management Impact ( EMI) and Market Value Impact ( MVI), these financial values have been derived from literature reviews and market research. This research provides reliable information that highlights key strengths of individual bulls and allows dairy farmers to identify bulls that are specialists for desired traits. We know from experience that not all dairy farmers have the same order of priorities with regards to beef bull selection, therefore using this innovative new tool, bulls can be more suited to dairy systems. Highly reliable proven sire with data from a minimum of 150 calving surveys. NUMBER OF SuRVEYS guide An easy to use guide to reliabilities of calf data collected through beef calving surveys. 94.5 MEASURED TRAITS Detailing each trait measured. Calf colour only applies to British Blues. BEEF AVERAGE Average figures which apply to all breeds. TRAIT VALUES Figures for each trait that have been calculated from Beef Visions data.

5 impact explained CALVING EASE GESTATION LENGTH CALF VIGOUR CALF QUALITY Birth Weight Ease of Management Impact EMI capitalises on live and vigourous calves born without assistance. Selecting Cogent beef sires ranking highly for EMI gives dairy cows the best chance to have a profitable lactation. Market Value Impact MVI optimises values achieved for beef calves bred from the dairy herd. Using Cogent sires with a high MVI will help increase prices achieved and reduce time taken for calves to reach optimum sale weights. CBI combines both EMI and MVI to give an overall value each calf will benefit dairy farmers on average. High CBI sires are well-rounded, providing the perfect combination of easily managed calves that achieve high sale prices.
