The mating program you can trust with a robust database. Knowing the impact genetics have on a herd and profitability over time led our team in 1968 to develop the first mating program, Genetic Management System (GMS). Today, we celebrate 55 years of GMS, a tool that has already performed more than 165 million mating recommendations in its lifetime. The Genetic Management System began as a traditional mating program. However, it is truly so much than that nowadays. In its truest form, it could be considered the original Custom Index because of the conversations it started with producers about the goals of the operation, how they market their milk, and the ideal future cow for the dairy. This tool is designed to deliver a genetic plan that is customized for each dairy’s needs.

The Genetic Management System helps dairy producers make genetic progress by creating better cows that suit their needs and bring more profit to the dairy. The mating program enables you to rank your females, allowing you to choose where to invest your money and where your next generation will come from. Then, it provides you with a per-cow breeding strategy along with your knockouts for lethal haplotypes and recessives. By utilizing GMS, you can focus more on managing your business to its utmost potential and worry less about your breeding plan.
