procross
is a long-term programme that offers solutions to health problems, repro- duction, inbreeding, longevity and scc. but it is a long-term commit- ment and that is important to under- stand?, he adds. be prepared for the surplus ?all of a sudden you will have too many calves,
cows
and heifers. this is because of small gains in areas such as more calves being born alive, a lower cull rate, along with better reproduc- tion and reproduction efficiency of the older
cows
. you will have to
plan
ahead of time because your herd will grow quicker than you think. it?s going to happen?, osmundson tells about the effects of the good reproduction. ?when old
cows
don?t leave as quick, and
cows
calve more often, you have to think faster?, he says. heterosis, the hidden gift each of the three breeds contains several very strong attributes which contribute to the
procross
system. they are also unrelated in their genes which produces additional hy- brid vigor (heterosis), which will in- crease longevity 25-28%, reduce units per pregnancy and lower the scc. the best part about the pro- cross system is that the heterosis effect is a bonus that is totally free. this will provide better beef values, better components, longer lasting
cows
which will improve your life- style. with over 18 years of experience using
procross
, the
procross
pio- neer herds and creative genetics state that it is very important to stick with the
plan
. ?once you have decid- ed to use
procross
, follow the
plan
, and be determined to do it faithfully. and just do it!?, osmundson says. there will be many voices telling you to stop, kevin prins says, ?but don?t lose your enthusiasm because when you get to the end, you?ll be ex- tremely happy?.
