A Genetic Business Plan for Your
Dairy Operation
Developing a herd of cows with the type and production
you demand - that’s the goal of the world’s
most trusted mating program, Select Mating Service™
(SMS™). SMS is a genetic business plan for your
dairy operation. Professional SMS evaluators use research,
computerized analysis, cow knowledge and good relationships
with dairy producers to build better cows throughout
the world, one mating at a time. They work hard to save
you time, protect your investment and meet your standards.
Multiple
Programs Available:
Cow-Based Linear Evaluation Each cow is evaluated using
17 primary traits that are 10 percent or more in heritability.
Evaluating the total cow is important due to many correlations
between traits.
Pedigree
Mating (SMS II™)
Pedigree
information is used for inbreeding and recessive management
on heifers or cows. SMS even allows you to utilize the
type of information of the dam, if evaluated, to better
predict the parent average type of the offspring.
One
of the most critical aspects of any successful business
plan is the training of the staff expected to carry
out the plan. Your dairy operation depends on hard-working,
trained personnel, and so does your genetic business
plan. Select’s professional SMS evaluators combine
good old fashioned cow sense with the most advanced
computerized analysis to work with you to achieve your
goals.
Select’s
professional evaluators attend regular training and
see milking daughters from across the country to help
guide you with physical results. They work hard to establish
a breeding program that will accelerate herd improvement
to meet your breeding program goals and take pride in
producing results you demand.
Each
year, Select’s professional evaluators meet at
the Evaluators’ Conference to discuss new technologies
and recent trends and view progeny of Select’s
current lineup and potential graduates, all with the
customer in mind.
