DairyTalk 273: Triple-A in Practice: Anatomical Balance as a Competitive Advantage - by Helmut Demmelhuber

This article highlights the Triple-A method as a strategic
complement to genomic breeding values. While modern indices
predict high performance, they often overlook structural
weaknesses that limit longevity and animal health. Triple-A
addresses this gap by pairing bulls and cows in a way that
balances anatomical strengths and weaknesses. The result is
functional, well-structured cattle with improved durability,
fewer hoof and mobility issues, and longer productive lives. The
key message: sustainable breeding success comes from harmonizing
advanced genetics with informed physical evaluation. With
