Genetics

Our new Fast Forward Team™ offers a broader selection of our most elite genomic sires so you can fast-track genetic gain in their herds and ultimately deliver more value on farm.

It’s essential LIC customers get access to the most elite dairy bloodlines – genetics that deliver genetic gain on-farm while resulting in easy-care cows that last within the herd.

Despite the last year not providing the heat waves we have come to know, it
is expected that in time temperatures will rise. This will have an affect on dairy cattle performance and heat stress.

LIC’s KiwiCross® bulls have gone from strength to strength over the years, with excellent outcross options for Australian dairy cows plus a great balance of fertility, production and type. This year sees it continue, with one the best line ups we have seen.

LIC Jerseys have a reputation as animals with high components, great strength and capacity, and extreme fertility. We also aim to breed Jerseys that are larger in size, produce more milk and have stronger udder conformation. Check out some of our outstanding 2022 Jersey options.

With the ink dry on the 2022 LIC Australia Catalogue, it is exciting to see a line-up of Holstein Friesian sires even better than last year. This underpins LIC’s desire to always strive for improvement. Here’s a closer look at the new kids on the block.
