Selection of pairs in the herd
Dairy farms are growing so fast these days that farmers have to overcome more and more challenges to keep up with the latest technology, labour issues, environmental requirements and countless other things. When life starts to get too complicated, a pair selection programme must be put in place to simplify decisions about which genetic material to use, because these decisions affect the growth of the herd over many years. Pair selection is therefore a tool to make the issue of breeding a no-brainer for farmers. Read more >>

WMS - World Wide Mating service - is available through World Wide Sires genetics.

The WMS has been developed by the Select Sires farmers' cooperative and aims to increase the profitability of livestock.
-
In 2013, the programme was used in 7 million cows in more than 50 countries.

Pair selection (WMS) is used to achieve greater control over inbreeding and recessive genes. It is well known that inbreeding can reduce cow productivity and animal health, and increase the chance of inheriting recessive genes such as CVM (cerebrovertebral maldevelopment) and BLAD (bovine leucocyte abnormality).

Pair selection is very important for the future of the herd, as it tries to find the "one and only bull" each time. Its main objective is to CREATE BETTER COWS. Because superior cows live longer, are healthier, produce more milk, and as a result - help you earn more money!
