POLL: Will you be using sexed semen this season?

There has been a growing appeal for farmers to use sexed semen in order to reduce the number of bull calves produced from the dairy herd. With the value of dairy bull calves very low, the need for a reliable sexed semen product has never been greater.

Let us know what you will be doing in the coming week. What is your breeding strategy this year?
