ONE OF DELTA’S BEST

Genetics for Cow People

Let’s welcome in a new year and say goodbye to 2020!

We’ve been asked what our slogan “Genetics for Cow People” means. That’s a fair question given the tremendous variety of goals that breeders have. But here is what it means to us: Selecting and using the right bulls is what sets the best breeders apart. For us, that means not only using the best genomic sires and females that we can, it also means using families with great performance and conformation to put the odds more in our favor. We enjoy producing bulls which we want to use ourselves, with the hope that they can outperform bulls and families that aren’t as complete. Let’s face it, bulls go up and down based on many variables, but at the end of the day, we should all want to breed cows that produce and breed as well as possible. It is our belief that “cow people” want more than just high genomics, we also demand performance and conformation. If you enjoy cows that perform well and look good doing it, our bulls can help do the job. Join the “Genetics for Cow People” revolution.

The B1G 10 Conference changed their rules... Even though the Ohio State Buckeyes didn’t play the required number of games, they allowed them to rob the division champion, Indiana Hoosiers, of playing in the conference championship!! It’s little wonder why the Buckeyes are among the least-liked programs in America.

A 200-cow herd with 200 SCC loses about 200,000 lbs. of milk per year.

Many changes going on in this world, but quality still pays you back. Your milk check is greatly increased or decreased by your herd’s SCC. Cows with over 200 SCC lose you about 1000 lbs milk/year. Yet cows with 50 SCC lose nothing and help give you all the milk you feed them for and reach their genetic potential. Focus on aiming at the target goal of 50 SCC, and healthier, higher-producing, higher-conception, and longer-lasting cows, producing you more milk profits, will come your way. Many use IMMU-PRO fed every AM, to help their herds unlock their potential and get the bigger milk checks they deserve. IMMU-PRO strengthens your cows’, heifers’, and calves’ immune systems.

Immu-Pro pays you back 4–8X over cost. Call us, QUALITY PAYS! Have a safe, happy, healthy & successful New Year! MADE IN

“... absolutely contributes to milk quality.” — Jay Moon

MOON DAIRY, BUCKHEAD, GEORGIA Jim, Sylvia, Jay and Hunter Moon Milking 120 Holsteins, year-round grazing system 65 lbs/cow/day; SCC below 250,000 Summer SCC below 300,000

“We’ve used Udder Comfort™ for years on all fresh cows, high count cows and any animal showing any signs of mastitis, hard quarters or chapping. “In our system of year-round grazing, we often battle SCC issues on pasture. Udder Comfort is a great tool,” says 4th generation dairyman Jay Moon of Moon Dairy, Buckhead, Ga. As Americorps Service member, he works with 4-H and was co-superintendent of the first Georgia Dairyland Classic attracting entries in 5 breeds from 8 states. https://wp.me/p329u7-22g “At shows, everyone is always glad to have Udder Comfort. At home, we know it works. The quicker we remove swelling from the udder at calving, the more milk she’s going to make. Udder Comfort absolutely contributes to milk quality.”

“Milk quality is so much better going in the tank the first time after calving. Applying it to fresh cows, we focus on the center area and get between the leg and udder wall to prevent irritation. People bring other products to try, but we always come back to the best. For the price and quality, you really can’t beat Udder Comfort.”
