2 2 Welcome to the August 2018 edition of the Cogent Specialist Breeds Catalogue. At Cogent we remain committed to building the strongest, most diverse portfolio of top quality genetics. Breeding good quality cows and achieving high levels of reproductive performance remain the foundations of dairy farm viability, and we are confident our product and service solutions will help you develop a more successful business. As the industry is moving towards Sexed and Beef semen, farmers are taking the combined approach, breeding replacements from the best genetics within the herd and using beef on the remainder, maximising the value of every pregnancy on the farm and driving herd profitability.
