The beef-on-dairy sector is rapidly growing, blending beef and dairy production to meet consumer demands for high-quality beef. Recent data shows that 80% of dairy farmers and 58% of calf raisers benefit from higher premiums on beef-on-dairy crossbreds.
This innovative approach goes beyond immediate profits, offering a host of advantages throughout the supply chain:
Consistent beef supply: A steady breeding cycle in dairy operations ensures a reliable supply of high-quality beef.
Superior meat quality: Beef-on-dairy cattle yield improved meat flavor, color and marbling, enhancing the consumer experience.
Enhanced traceability: Stakeholders can track animal lineage and management, ensuring quality practices.
Lower carbon footprint: The energy efficiencies of the dairy industry are realized, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability.
Strong industry collaboration: Integrating beef genetics fosters partnerships between the beef and dairy sectors, driving innovation and resilience.
