Central Star Cooperative has recognized seven producers with herds showing high reproductive efficiency rates.
The top herds are:
Horning Farms, LLC, Manchester, Michigan
Towns Farms, Inc., Janesville, Wisconsin
Hillside Dairy, LLC, Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin
Kenealy Dairy Farms, Cadott, Wisconsin
Jauquet Hillview Dairy, Luxemburg, Wisconsin
Wayside Dairy, Greenleaf, Wisconsin
Kieler Farms, Inc., Platteville, Wisconsin
CentralStar consultant Cole Mark says they saw an increase in the number of mature cows in their herds because of producers’ ability to get cows pregnant year after year and strength in reproductive efficiency in the heifer populations.
