Dairy industry’s next ‘All Blacks’ selected

Dairy industry’s next ‘All Blacks’ selected

In what’s arguably the equivalent of making it into the All Blacks squad for a bull, a rigorous four-year selection process has resulted in CRV Ambreed’s latest group of proven sires that are set to become household names.

Thirteen young superstars have graduated as CRV Ambreed proven sires, which means they are considered to have the highest genetic merit.

CRV Ambreed’s proven sires feature in the company’s bull catalogue, which thousands of dairy farmers peruse each year to develop a successful breeding programme. They are sought after by dairy farmers in New Zealand and overseas and their production and performance traits make them an essential part of the success of New Zealand’s dairy industry.

The elite bull calves selected for CRV Ambreed’s breeding programme ultimately make sure dairy farmers’ future herds are more productive and more profitable. That means they have to demonstrate they can pass on improvement traits to cows that are key to productivity and profitability.

Every year CRV Ambreed’s sire analysts, the company’s ‘All Blacks selectors’, visit herds around the country to find New Zealand’s very best farmers and the very best cows that will produce the next Richie McCaws and Daniel Carters of bulls.
