Bovine computer dating boosts Berkshire cattle breeding program
ABS brings its GMS computer mating service to Tyringham with 330 Jersey cows at Walter D. Howard farm. Evaluator Randy Martin conducts a full herd appraisal while A. D. Maynard of Orwell outlines how the IBM 370 based system matches cows to ABS bulls to cut costs and raise production. Farmers watch, then decide pricing and goals as the program promises quick, data driven results and longer term genetic gains.
