So what type of farmer are you?

The pressures on farming systems through NZ vary depending on climate, finances and your goals in life.  The type of cow you need to handle high-output production is quite different to the low-management input animal highly desired by large operations.

Our Team Concept

That’s why we have developed our Team concept – designed to help you get to your goals faster and with the minimum of fuss.  Farmers new to working with CRV AmBreed are often surprised at how simple it can be to build and implement a successful breeding plan, and, once they see the results in the quality of the heifers entering the herd, will never go back to accepting average.

We have developed a selection of both InSire Genomically Selected Young Sires, and Proven Sire Teams to cover a range of outcomes important in dairy farming in NZ today.  Using a team approach as examples of how a breeding strategy can help solve cow problems or achieve target objectives, will show you how you can easily tap into the full genetic potential of sires available to you today and into the future.

It couldn’t be easier!

The Teams are based on a variety of important key breeding strategies:

·         Performance – for systems enabling cows to have intakes of high quality feed and therefore the environment to produce >450kgMS/cow

·         Efficiency – for pasture dominated diets producing up to 400kgMS/cow

·         A2A2 – A2 semen options from top sires that will help you capture this valuable niche market with a specialist milk product

·         Short Gestation – get your herd fertility back on track and give you more days in milk and in the vat

·         Outcross – a high-quality outcross option that mitigates the inbreeding problems of both Jerseys and Friesians

·         Easy-Care (Friesian only) – ideal for large enterprises with limits on labour resources or farmers wanting to breed highly fertile cows that look after themselves

·         Build’em Bigger (Jersey only) - breed some size back into your Jerseys with this pack that focuses on creating an animal with more capacity, stature and milk

Individual bulls can be changed within the teams to customise what we offer to suit your preferences. Many of our farmers find the choice offered by Teams make a planned approach to breeding a simple and essential part of their farming operation.

One team of bulls to serve the entire country no longer makes sense.  Planning your breeding means you can get away from relying on a lucky-dip of average genetics.
