With the data coming from Advantage herds that provide the benefit of size and scale, more herd-mates for comparison lead to more reliable evaluations. And with Advantage herds from across the US contributing data, the National aspect is another distinct advantage of the Conceptplus evaluations. As a researcher, I m excited about what s being done with Alta s Advantage program  it s a great resource for the industry, not only for the leadership in fertility proofs, but for research into many other important health and fitness traits. </p> </td> <td> <p align=center class=home><img hspace=40 src=images/Kentforweb.jpg><br> <b>Dr. Kent Weigel</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=2> <p class=home align=right>Associate Prof. & Extension Geneticist<br> University of Wisconsin, Dept. of Dairy Science</p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=HomeJust>  I rely on selecting service sires from the Conceptplus list because it is based on vet-checked pregnancies! I have confidence in the program because I know that it s other Advantage herds as well as us contributing directly to the data base. I can check to see how the individual sire has settled not only in our herd, but on a much larger basis than that. I use it as a tool along with regular herd health checks, consultations with Field Fertility Specialist Dr. Chet Rawson and using the  Chet Chart to keep our trends easy to view. Conceptplus sires like 11H6116 Rolex, 11H5486 Tomahawk, 11H5929 Ally, 11H5815 Granado, 11H6016 Smarty, 11H5778 Original, 11H5794 Laurier, and 11H6008 Biz have been used extensively over the past several years. Over the past eighteen months, all these have helped decrease our services per conception at Spring Grove by 45%. </p> <p class=Home align=center><img src=images/ConceptGrahic.jpg><br> <b>Dan Monson, Operating Manger, Part Owner with John Towns- Alta DSM </b><br> Spring Grove Dairy, Droadhead, WI </p> </div> <table border="0" bgcolor=white cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="628"> <tr> <td colspan=5 height=1700 valign="top"> <IMG src="images/ConceptPlusSite.jpg"></td> </tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-13077060-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
