1 aaa ~ Unchanged, even after 60 years! by Tim Baumgartner # 1 # # # # # 6 (DAIRY) (TALL) (OPEN) (STRONG) (SMOOTH) (STYLE) Ample will to milk. Faster growth. High Room for the udder.

More milk for size. and modern milking. Long breeding life. and legs and lungs. legs. Easy milking. Attentive character. It began in 190 with a simple concept of helping one dairyman at a time, one cow at a time. From the very start, Mr. William A. Weeks, used a simple common-sense approach to fixing cow s problems to help make her offspring last longer and be more profitable than the current generation he was discussing with the farm owner. This simple concept of balancing the round and sharp qualities in dairy cattle has not wavered since it was first created. Even today, this approach has reached to nearly all corners of the globe and with the assistance of twenty-five approved aaa (Animal Analysis Associates) analyzers, cows are producing calves that are lasting longer, producing more lifetime milk and requiring less medical attention. aaa is built upon six main qualities. Mr. Weeks used very simple logic when he was creating aaa. First a cow must produce milk (Dairy); next she must be able to keep her udder up and out of the mud (Tall); she must be able to breed back and calve easily (Open). Next, she must be healthy enough to withstand the stress of high production, movement and calving (Strong), she must possess enough room for large amounts of forage (Smooth), and lastly when all else is working properly, he would like her attractive enough to exhibit at the shows and sell at above average prices (Style). William A. Weeks While these are the six main qualities that aaa is based on, the individual parts of the cow are examined to learn why they may function incorrectly. Thus, what makes aaa unique is that the approved analyzers understand the relationship of parts to dairy cattle and through extensive training, comprehend the source of these faults to most accurately fix them. This differs from your local A.I. personnel coming to your farm to view your cattle because they merely measure specific traits. For example, if you have a cow in your herd that is not milking up to your expectations, there are multiple reasons why her performance levels are diminished. Could she be so tall and narrow that her slabby rib will not expand with feed intake? Could she lack the capacity in her chest and heart region, so she converts more feed into preventative maintenance than into milk? Or is she lacking the overall dairy appearance, due to her saddle loin, short neck and forward rear udder position? Maybe she is so meaty in her udder that milk can t be secreted properly enough? When her udder never empties correctly, she subconsciously decides to not make as much milk on each passing day, and eventually stops lactating. Do any of you have a cow that just makes you scratch your head on wonder why she don t perform better? When you have made the effort to buy the best bull from the semen salesman and used this bull on a really good milk cow, you re left scratching your head, trying to figure out the reason why the offspring did not perform up to pedigree value. The answer is probably under one of the conditions listed in the previous paragraph and with the assistance of your aaa analyzer, the answer will be revealed and this cow s offspring will be back on target and performing to your expectations. When your aaa analyzer comes to your dairy and as you walk through your cattle, he will assign numbers to your female cattle, such as 6 or 1 or. Each combination of numbers has different meanings. A cow analyzed to be a 6 is a cow that needs STRENGTH () first. It is the first limiting factor in this cow s ability to outlive her herd-mates. Next it has been determined that the addition of STYLE (6) will help her offspring to require less visits to the foot trimming area and be a more attractive useful cow and finally the need for TALL () will assist her to have a faster, better milk flow. As simple as this concept is, at times sire selection can appear to be challenging to some. Here are some points to remember. First, males unlike females are analyzed for their qualities, not their faults. We analyze bulls to give dairy producers assistance in understanding what the sire can bring to a selected mating. In all reality, aaa analysis numbers are the only actual information about the bull you have to use when mating your cows! In an ideal world, the cow mentioned previously, needing 6, will be mated to a sire with the same numbers. The key factor is, first the cow needs quality - STRONG. When you re reviewing your semen inventory and your closest match is a bull with aaa codes, remember first number is the most important to change the next generation. Using the sire with a analysis still results in an 80% match. When you purchase your semen, use the evaluations provided by the semen salesmen to sort out and find the bulls good enough to use in your herd based on your selection criteria. Then allow aaa to assist you in using the semen on the female cattle that need him the most. After all, getting the best daughters of your semen purchases is more exciting and profitable than just owning a daughter of that same bull. Hopefully now you have a little more understanding why many successful dairymen seem to remain profitable even in difficult economic times and consistently have those above average daughters in their herds for the past 60 years.

4 Dairy Mating Service - DMS introduction to DMS DMS (Dairy Mating Service) was started in 196 by Jim Kuhtz. Jim was raised on a dairy farm in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In 19, while working for a major AI organization he moved to Modesto, California. He started DMS because he felt dairymen needed a herd analysis program that was effective in meeting the commercial and registered herds' needs. DMS resulted in a highly effective system that continues to help dairymen breed higher producing and longer living cattle with minimal problems. what is dms? DMS is a tool used by dairymen to create a high producing, well balanced cow with longevity. It is a mating service whose goal is to produce a cow that effectively and efficiently meets the goals of the dairyman. With only three major parts of the cow being analyzed, this can be accomplished in one generation and generations to come. The three major parts analyzed are: 1. The front end - being the health of the cow.. Udder and frame - being the production of the cow.. The rear end - being the reproduction of the cow. Each cow is coded using three of the six codes depending on which parts of the cow need correcting. The codes that are used are as follows: 1-strong, -smooth, -style, -dairy, -tall and 6-flat bone. Cows are coded to improve their weakest traits. Bulls are coded for their ability to transmit their strengths. The bulls at the major AI organizations in the United States and Canada are analyzed by a professional DMS analyzer. philosophy of dms "Balanced matings resulting in more usable cattle." DMS is a totally independent mating program designed to match up not only the traits in a cow you would like to correct, but also looks at ancestry that transmits certain traits from the cow and the bull you are using. future of dms As herds around the country are getting larger, the emphasis will be to develop higher producing cows that last longer with minimal problems. DMS can help dairymen achieve this by analyzing the cows in their herds and helping them choose the bulls that work the best in their breeding program.
