 Heifer Mating 2011 Heifer mating at Kakahu is a serious business as we believe it is here that we are making very fast genetic gain. These days 30% of the bulls offered at the June sale are heifer’s offspring. Here you see 130 yearlings coming in to be AIed after programming. They are mated with top international bulls, great emphasis being on calving ease sires with good growth EBVs and excellent carcase figures. We expect our heifers to have a trouble free calving as they did this year. None needed assistance. One calf was still born. |
 The remainder of the Kakahu yearlings are mated to the top easy calving Kakahu and Lawson yearling bulls. These youngsters are sold in May in our commercial in calf sale. It makes economic sense for commercial breeders to have easy calving herds, but this does not just happen! It must be planned. At Kakahu we do just that. When I hear someone saying he fed his heifers too well, so he had trouble, I respond “Rubbish!” This is only an excuse. Our heifers are well fed and are good enough to kill after calving. We do not have trouble, and neither do our clients who follow our programme. |
