CentralStar Recognizes Dairy Herds for Reproductive Efficiency
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 01/27/2022
Six herds with 12-month pregnancy rates of 32 percent or higher were recently recognized with the CentralStar Cooperative ReproStar Award.
Five of the recipients are from Wisconsin, including Marshland Acres, Durand; Wepner Farms, Manawa; Elsinger Dairy, Lomira; Zahn Farms, Gillett; and 3-D Dairy, Malone.
"As farms have more older cows in the herd, it can create reproductive challenges, but such is not the case for this year's award winners," said CentralStar Coordinator Records Consultant Julie Ainsworth. "These herds have good conception rates for third- and
greater-lactation cows. Additionally, this high efficiency also means a high percent of the cows are pregnant by three cycles, and there are no open cows more than 270 days in milk."
Established in 2019, the ReproStar Award recognizes producers for their accomplishments with reproductive efficiency. A panel of judges evaluates each dairy's data for multiple factors known to influence pregnancy rates when selecting the winners.
