Genetics and Production Service, Support, and Training

Service & Support

"In 1998 we made the decision to close our herd with Babcock's Closed Herd System. Almost immediately our herd health stabilized, and the health status of the entire operation has been stable and predictable year after year. We haven't had one significant disease break since we closed our herd, and the occasional minor hiccup is hardly even noticeable. Our growth rate, cost per pound or gain, and grade premiums from the packer have also improved every year.

We needed a genetics supplier that understood that their future and profitability is directly linked to the producer's, and I know we have that with Babcock Genetics."
