Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maximise Calf Value with NCBC Dairy-Beef Teams
Q: You said you went through the different stages for the bull. At what point, how many records does a bull need, by the time you say that it's proven?
Typically around 250-300 records is a practical threshold for strong confidence, but proven sires often have over 1,000 records, with some well over tens of thousands, which supports robust reliability.
Milk Recording
Q: Where do you get your milkers serviced?
Manual milk meters are serviced by an AI technician in Castle Island, while electronic meters must be serviced by the meter manufacturer; during peak AI season, plan ahead to avoid delays.
Optimising the Dry Period: Tools, Data & Decisions for SDCT
Q: Is once-a-day milking for a week before dry-off advisable to reduce milk yield if cell count and lactose are acceptable?
No, abrupt dry-off with diet management to reduce milk yield is preferred; prolonging milking at once-a-day frequency can raise risk and is generally not recommended.
Optimising the Dry Period: Tools, Data & Decisions for SDCT
Q: Should problem cows waiting for culture and sensitivities be kept separate during milking?
Ideally, yes—separate handling during milking helps prevent spreading infection, and in practice, the approach depends on farm capability; there is a suggestion to possibly milk problem cows last to minimize cross-contamination.
Optimising the Dry Period: Tools, Data & Decisions for SDCT
Q: What is the turnaround time for geno cells testing and how is the sample processed?
The geno cells test turnaround is about nine days in total, with roughly four days in the lab for DNA extraction; the process includes sending a sample in a post bottle and inputting cow data into ICBF HerdPlus when collecting the sample.
