These graduates are certain to impress the market and deliver the genetic gains our customers are seeking. Today's Holstein graduates average 1.8 DPR, +4.7 PL, 7.2% Sire Calving Ease, 827 PTAM, +2.2 CCR, and +452 NM$--and four of the 13 Holsteins bring more than +1,000 milk.

Our recent graduates are not all that is new and exciting this week. ABS is also proud to introduce a revolutionary genetic selection tool to dairy farmers around the globe-TransitionRight Genetics. This patent-pending technology will help resolve the age-old struggles of how to prevent and react to health issues that arise during the transition cow period. ABS customers can now use TransitionRight, using a 1-5 star ranking system, to select genetics that minimize the need for preventive and reactionary measures often necessary during this time- saving them time and up to $100 per cow with each lactation.
