Reproductive performance on the up and up
The highest 6-week in-calf rate and lowest not-in-calf rate on record for NZ herds was reported by LIC in April 2024. This is excellent news for farmers, as herds are more favourably placed for ongoing reproductive success next season, with cows calving earlier, more early season days-in-milk and greater opportunity to improve herd quality through culling options this autumn.
