Futurity Dams

Females are put under pressure to perform from an early age

This pressure on the females to perform at a young age makes it more profitable for the producer, as it speeds up the income for the number of females run.

• Heifers are joined at 12 – 14 months of age once a weight is met and then calve at 2 years of age.
• Must calve every year, within a 9 week period or they leave the herd.

Futurity utilises a whole-herd approach to genetic advancement.

Extensive Artificial Insemination (AI) programs are performed annually with over 80% of all aged females joined to AI.

Using AI in this way we are able to increase our genetic gain by individually choosing the best joining sire for each female.

The type of female we strive to breed are moderate maturity, easy fleshing, good maternal traits,  of easy calving, quick to rebreed and wean a heavy calf every year.
