Beef x Dairy Sires With the Numbers for Bottomline Profit In today’s industry, producers need to maximize profitability from all parts of the operation. That's why GENEX offers value-added programs to help identify where and how to best utilize beef semen in a herd. The Beef x Dairy (BxD) program identifies beef sire options that are ideal for use on dairy animals to create profitable terminal crosses. At the heart of the program are semen blends. A blend is a straw that contains semen from multiple sires. The sires in each blend possess the traits necessary to create profitable terminal cross calves, and the blends have proven fertility rankings! In fact, for the past three years the blend product has consistently matched or outperformed the PregCheck™ ranking of the highest fertility bull in the blend. Often, conception rate of the blend product is 1-5% higher than the individual bulls in the blend.

Sires are chosen for their ability to produce feeder calves that are homozygous polled and homozygous black for coat color. BxD program sires also possess the elite genetics endprocessors require, as well as calving ease which is a must for commercial dairies. Ask your GENEX representative for a BxD sire catalog. 26
