Genetics mattered a great deal a few generations ago in terms of creating a competitive edge in the business. My mother's father was into ABS (AI) almost on the ground floor shortly after WWII. He was using the same university information as everybody else in terms of nutrition and agronomy as everybody else but selective cow breeding put more milk in the bulk tank by a substantial margin than his neighbors. You gave me one more reason to call on my aunt than I already have as she has some county newsletters which substantiates what I am saying. He had cows during the mid-1960's that were producing over 30,000 pounds of milk. The herd average was under that by a fair margin but the point is he was trending in the right direction in terms of helping his bottom line. Agree with a lot of the other things that you say. There were ungraded cows that milked close to their fancy gene cousins but there was no money in that for the breeding associations. No bragging rights if you will. AI is still around but it no longer is the gap generator it was decades ago as everybody is in to it now.
