HOLSTEINS

Building productive, functional and profitable dairy cows.

The right Holstein genetics can do more than increase milk production.

At JMC Genetics, we believe successful breeding starts with understanding the herd, the farming system and the goals of the business. Our Holstein programme gives UK dairy farmers access to carefully selected genetics, supported by independent, practical advice focused on the traits that matter over a cow's lifetime.

Milk production. Fertility. Longevity. Functionality. Efficiency.

More than milk.

Breeding the Holstein cow for the modern dairy farm.

Milk production remains an important part of dairy breeding. But a profitable dairy cow needs to deliver more than litres.

She needs to be fertile, healthy, functional and capable of remaining productive for multiple lactations.

At JMC Genetics, our approach is to look at the whole cow and understand how genetics fit within the individual farming system.

That means considering the balance between:

01
Milk production

02
Milk components

03
Fertility

The right cow is the one that works for your farm.

04
Longevity

05 Udder functionality

06
feet and legs

07
Calving ability

08 efficiency

09
Overall herd profitability

Why choose JMC Genetics for Holstein breeding?

Independent advice. Carefully selected genetics. A breeding strategy built around your herd.

JMC Genetics is an independent dairy and beef genetics company established in 2026 as a strategic expansion of Tithebarn.

Our independence means we're not tied to a single breeding organisation. Instead, we can look across available genetics and build recommendations around the objectives of the individual farm.

Our Holstein genetics programme is offered in partnership with Westlock Genetics and GGI-Spermex.
