CheeseMaker

Designed with Components in Mind...

Around the world dairymen agree that high producing, long wearing, healthy cows
are key to a sustained profitable enterprise. Still, the way in which dairymen are
rewarded for the milk they ship varies tremendously. For some, much of the milk
that is produced finds its way to fluid markets in nearby urban centers.
For a growing number of producers, however, much of the milk that
is delivered is used to satisfy the growing demand for cheese.

For over a decade now in most markets, the consumption of milk
has stagnated while the demand for traditional and specialty
cheeses have expanded rapidly. Not surprisingly, processors
who create these products have devised payment systems
which reward producers for the constituents in the milk as
opposed to simply paying on volume. It’s a trend that has
been evolving for several decades.

Alta Genetics recognizes that the way in which dairymen
are paid for the milk they produce will determine the way in
which they approach genetic selection options. That’s why
Cheese Maker is a concept whose time has come.

Alta's CheeseMaker Lineup...
Over five years ago, Alta began segmenting its product development efforts so
that creating Cheese Maker bulls would represent nearly a third of its overall
investment for the future. That initiative is now yielding results to an extent that
Alta can offer a growing lineup of bulls whose daughters have one thing in
common: the production of Component Rich Milk.

Individual producers will differ on the traits they demand in conjunction with high
component yield. Some dairymen will demand that their CheeseMaker bulls offer
Calving Ease, while others will demand Exceptional Type. Still others will focus
on longevity traits like Productive Life and Somatic Cell Score. As Alta’s Cheese
Maker lineup grows expect a full spectrum of choice from a wide variety of
pedigrees – all tailored to maximize revenues when components are key!
