Modern family farming calls for trouble-free cows

How much time do you waste on problem cows? Not just monitoring and treating them, but worrying about their health, calling the vet, hoping that they will change or recover soon?

What if there was a way to breed healthy, trouble-free cows that would free up time for you to focus on the important stuff — your herd, family and the good farm life?

Family farming is not just a business —it's a way of life. But if you're like other modern family farmers, you also want time for other things. Not just endlessly hard work days missing out on precious family events, sleep and leisure.

This modern way of being a farmer calls for cows that are easy to manage and a pleasure to milk. Cows that live long and last long, generating a sustainable profit for you and your family in the years to come.

So how do you get cows like that?
