What We Do
Dairy farming has been part of agriculture for thousands of years. Dairy cows are bred specifically to produce large quantities of milk.
Dairy cows are required to give birth to one calf annually in order to produce milk for 10 months of the year. They are usually artificially inseminated within three months of giving birth.
Working on Best Breeding Processes Of Cows
Calculating the milk yield of mother cows and their offspring can indicate which animals have good breeding genetics. Bulls also play an important role in generating a good milk yield, and their offsprings milk yield can be an indication of this. Cows with high milk yield, and offspring with high milk yield can be mated to increase the chances of a good milk volume. Continuing this through generations using these methods can ensure an increase of the volume of milk produced by cows.
Selecting The Best Cows for getting More Milk
The secret to getting cows to produce more milk is good breeding, Kestell said. We make about two-thirds of income breeding high-producing cows, and then selling their genetic materials all over the world.
“That is certainly not part of our goal at all is to set a new national record in anything,” “Our goal is to take care of our cows, breed good cows, have good cows, sell good cows to other people, and then let the pieces fall where they may.”
