3. Progeny Test Semen

Following the success of Team 2005 graduate, ARBBOBDOWN, with an APR of 238, and Team 2006 graduate, ARBMAWSON, with an APR of 227, progeny test semen is a great way to increase the genetic potential of your herd. Under the guidance of the Australian Red Breed Committee bulls with elite genetic merit are selected to participate in our progeny test scheme. Progeny test semen can be purchased from participating AB companies, including Genetics Australia, ABS Australia, Semex and AUSRED (Genomic).

4. Cross Breeding

Proven Aussie Reds are ideal to use in a cross breeding program to increase your herds performance in low heritable traits such as daughter fertility and health. To make the best use of cross breeding you need to select the best proven bulls available to use in your herd.
