If you are a dairy farmer, the prosperity of your future lies in your heifers - the future of your herd.

The challenge for Kiwi farmers to reduce herd size while maintaining or building production is generating an increase in demand for overseas genetics, says World Wide Sires.

The rate of improvement in dairy genetics is not keeping pace with technology, says World Wide Sires.
