DairyTalk 83: The Cow Leads the Way - A Female-Driven Breeding Strategy - by Helmut Demmelhuber

Breeding progress doesn’t start in catalogs - it starts in the
barn.
In this DairyTalk episode, Helmut Demmelhuber shows why the true
drivers of genetic progress are female.
Cows and heifers set the direction: selecting them by breeding
values, health, and herd fit creates lasting success.
Genomic testing identifies top animals early, and embryo transfer
multiplies elite lines - but only when guided by data, not
emotion.
Keeping your best heifers isn’t sentiment - it’s strategy.
