Dairy Beef Alliance (DBA) is proud to offer dairy farmers the opportunity to be part of our rapidly expanding and elite production system which has been designed to give you stability in calf prices.
DBA has been producing Holstein/Wagyu Cross (F1) beef for over 20 years. While DBA produces some of the best beef in the world, we are highly regarded for our integrity and association with value adding calves in the dairy industry to give a good animal welfare outcome. Building long term relationships with our producers is part of our production system as we endeavour to offer a reliable service.
How Dairy Farmers can be involved
Dairy farmers rear the calves to a minimum of 200 kgs (six months of age) before supplying them to DBA. This is a great option to value add to your calves.
Calves supplied to DBA need to be vaccinated, castrated and dehorned as part of our QA protocols. These livestock practices can be incorporated into your current farm practice, allowing for full utilisation of labour and available commodities. Dairy Beef Alliance offers 25% above the Feeder Steer Indicator (FSI) for progeny of both sexes, out of Holstein Wagyu cross cows by Australian Black bulls / semen which meet the selection criteria.
