The Slick gene will help you with much needed heat tolerance! Research at the University of Puerto Rico is showing an advantage of 1500 pounds of milk per year and breeding back 30 days quicker for dairy cattle that have the Slick gene versus the normal longhaired gene. This is especially important for cattle that graze in the sun and live in tropical conditions. Breeding cattle specific to the environment is here with the Slick gene introduction.

 

At Ja-Bob Holsteins, we have Slick donors that are red and several that are polled. These are backed by world famous cow families such as the Helen’s, Scarlets, Roxy’s, Verdejo and Rudolph Missy, and pedigrees are available upon request.
