    Has deregulation worked ?

    How the hell can it be working when there are some on retailer contracts at over 42p and others who are on 28p and both are doing the same job .

    Has deregulation worked ?

    Reading my old pal Roger Evans in the Dairy Farmer he does not ask , but I will, has it worked for you ? A lot has changed since 1994 many have left the industry, many have come into it and many have expanded massively but are we better off ?

    Most of these bulls will be DEAD before they will get even a poor proof, has anyone see any data that shows how any of these genomic bulls compare when they have a daughter proof ?

    Genus Holstein Genetic directory

    Anyone else had a look at it ? Looked through it this morning and put a black pen through 21 out of 46 bulls, mostly from Denovo. They had high PLIs but were crap for chest width, body depth, foot angle to name just a few faults...
