High Female Genetics Chances (Sexed Semen / Female Calf Chances)

When we say “high female genetics chances”, we are referring to semen that increases the likelihood of producing a female calf — usually through sexed semen technology or carefully selected bull genetics.


🧬 What Does It Mean?

Normally, semen has a 50/50 chance of producing a male or female calf.

But with sexed semen, the sperm is processed to increase the probability of female calves up to 90% or more.

This is ideal for:

Dairy farmers who want more milking cows

Herd expansion without buying new animals

Avoiding aggressive male calves in small farms


📈 Benefits of High Female Chances:

✅ More milk-producing cows in the herd

✅ Faster herd growth with better ROI

✅ Reduced costs of buying female animals from outside

✅ Ideal for commercial dairy farming


⚠ Things to Know:

Sexed semen is usually more expensive than regular semen.

Conception rates may be slightly lower than with regular semen, so proper heat detection and timing are crucial.

Best used in heifers (first-time breeders) or healthy cows with good reproductive history.
