P. 1
TALE OF TWO BULLS
They weighed within 8kgs of each other.
Leachman’s measured how much feed each bull ate.
• One ate 8kgs of dry matter per day
• One ate 19kgs of dry matter per day
In one year, one bull will eat 4,140 more kilos of feed!
• 40% heritable = 112 cows vs 75 cows on the same grass
We are selecting cattle that eat less, but produce more.
You don’t have to do the math to work out the impact in your
herd over time of buying the right bulls.
