There is a significant cost associated with each mature cow leaving your herd and the efforts to replace her. In fact, healthy cows that live beyond their third lactation, drive farm profit. Use your available genetic tools to create trouble-free, efficient cows that live longer. World Wide Sires is your source for genetics that excel for Herd Health Profit Dollars® (HHP$®), Productive Life, Livability and Mastitis Resistance traits.

As dairies optimize their heifer inventories and have less replacements available, there is an opportunity for herds to retain older cows. Historically, older cows have been more challenging to manage, but with genetic emphasis on health and wellness traits, these cows can be more physically fit and trouble-free to maximize productive life and achieve a greater return on investment.
