Lets face it the dairy calf market is difficult to understand and even harder to predict. HelixaAgra is unique and is not specifically in the business of selling embryos and semen. In fact most of our partner dairies receive these at no cost. Sounds to good to be true right? By providing these materials we guarantee to purchase all live calves from our mattings. Prices for calves are determined at breeding time not at birth so the dairy knows upfront what they are getting paid from each mating. For farms outside of the HelixAgra weekly calf pickup area or dairies that raise their own calves, we are happy to market semen and embryos to with the understanding that the use of the material is for terminal purposes only and using progeny for reproductive purposes is strictly restricted.
Absolutly not, The Sires selected for breeding our PureBeef embryos are chosen with calving ease and calf vigor in mind and should not negatively affect calving. We have specifically chosen embryo packages that work best in Jersey recipients and Holstein recipients respectively.
Using our proprietary methods, we have evaluated hundreds of thousands of cattle. We identified the top animals for feed conversion, carcass quality, and temperament to produce the most efficient, sustainable, and highest value uniform beef carcass animals ever brought together. This is actual data gathered by an independent research group “HelixAgra Steers achieved Feed Efficiency of 4.74:1, ADG 4.25, Ribeye 15″, 90% Choice Marbling, 883lb AVG HotWt carcass at 13 months from birth.” This puts HelixAgra Steers at the top 1% all market cattle in the world.
You can expect to achieve pregnancy rates similar to the rates achieved by Artificial Insemination (AI). Heat stressed and repeat breeders can even expect an improvement in pregnancy rate over AI because the implanted embryo circumvents fertility-related challenges and starts with the placement of an already viable embryo. Pregnancy rates do however vary greatly because of factors like environment, animal management, recipient quality and season. Our team will be with you each step of the way to adjust and help resolve issues if the arise. The HelixAgra team of embryologists, cattlemen, and veterinarians are all on call to ensure the success of your project.
HelixAgra PureBeef embryos can improve the pregnancy rate in a herd by overcoming heat stress. Previous industry research using commercial IVF embryos showed a 10 percent increase in one-cycle pregnancy rate vs. AI in the same herds. Heat stressed animals show an improvement because the implanted embryo circumvents fertility-related challenges and starts with the placement of an already viable embryo.
