Plan A Success Dairy Breeding in Franklin County

In Franklin County Kansas a six year cooperative dairy breeding effort shows strong gains from artificial insemination. Since 1950 the Franklin County Artificial Breeding Association has inseminated over 11 800 first service cows with conception averaging 64 percent. Don Collins of Ottawa manages breeding records for 360 members while a elected board directs monthly. Members choose Holstein or other breeds daily through the state stud K A B S A at Kansas State College and report better cows with higher milk and butterfat production.
