Genetic Evaluations Help Breed Better Bossies
By Sharon Durham, Agricultural Research Service, Food Animal Production, an ARS National Program, USDA. On a dairy farm, the cycle of life can be quite short. Sadly, about 8 percent of calves born do not survive beyond 48 hours and are considered stillborn....
