Good breeding starts with good records. We help farmers pick bulls and semen that suit organic herds, built for strong calves and easy calving on grass.

Ask us about feed and mineral support for cows in calf. Healthy mothers raise healthy calves, and that is where the next good herd comes from.

Breeding for better feed efficiency

Some cows turn grass into milk far better than others, and that trait is passed down. When you pick bulls or straws for breeding, look past milk yield alone and ask about feed conversion too. Ask us about AI straws A herd that converts feed well costs you less per litre over time and holds condition better on pasture. Talk to us before the breeding season starts so we can help you plan your feed and your genetics together.

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted open source software for your client’s needs. Then the question arises: where’s the content? Not there yet? That’s not so bad, there’s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn’t fit in the can, the foot’s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons the folks in the meeting can’t quite tell right now, but they’re unhappy, somehow. A client that’s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that’s unhappy though he or her can’t quite put a finger on it is worse.
