Maximize the Value of Your Beef x Dairy Crosses
Not all beef genetics are created equal—especially when it comes to getting the most value from your beef x dairy crosses. If beef semen plays a key role in your dairy farm’s breeding strategy, it’s critical to consider how and when you sell those crossbred animals. Without the right genetics, you could be leaving premiums on the table.
Easy Selection with Alta BULLSEYE
All bulls designated as Alta BULLSEYE sires were selected with calving ease as a baseline requirement—because stress-free births matter. From there, each bull is matched to specific production goals:
High Fertility
Alta CONCEPT PLUS BxD sires offer a 2%–5% conception rate advantage over average beef bulls used on dairy cows, helping you optimize pregnancy rates and reduce breeding costs.
Growth
Looking to sell at 300-500 lbs? Choose bulls with strong Weaning Weight (WW) and either Feedlot Value ($F) or Terminal Index (TI). These sires help you raise calves that grow fast and finish strong in the feeder market.
Carcass Traits
Finishing to Market? Choose bulls with superior Beef Value ($B) and either Feedlot Value ($F) or Terminal Index (TI). These traits drive better carcass yield and quality, maximizing returns at harvest.
