2025 PPR BASE CHANGE
The April 2025 index run is upon us. This proof run includes two changes that will significantly impact the values of our Brown Swiss bulls. Please review the information below to understand how these updates effect our herd.
The genetics changes in Brown Swiss cows from 2015 to 2020 highlight shifts in key traits. Over this period, we've seen gains in productions, longevity, and some conformation improvements, as a result, with the index run, production breeding values for milk, fat, and protein are expected to decline as Brown Swiss have improved over the last 5 years.
Fertility remains a key focus, particularly with daughter pregnancy rate (DPR), where we anticipate higher figures moving forward. These changes will result in DPR values going up on most bulls.
