Breed cows suitable for Variable milking. Use our VM selection index to help identify bulls that are more likely to produce daughters suitable for a Variable Milking regime or buy our convenient No Choice VMSI packs to get a team of bulls to meet your needs.
The index takes into account the traits farmers have identified as being important for successful Variable milking:
- udder support
- milking speed
- body capacity
- front teat placement.
You can use the index to compare animals based on their suitability for VM systems.

Identify individual Alpha bulls you want to breed from or buy our convenient No Choice VM Packs to get a team of bulls to do the job.
Some do it for the whole season, others do it during dry periods or to take the pressure off cows during early lactation or before mating.
Milking your cows on a Variable Milking schedule can:
- save time — you’ll have more time for other jobs on the farm
- save money on labour and feed costs
- increase the number of days in milk
- improve your herd’s condition
- get more cows in calf
- reduce the number of lame cows due to less walking each day.
We put together teams of bulls with a high VM selection index that means they’ll produce high BW animals with the right traits to cope with Variable milking.
We offer No Choice VM Packs in three breeds:
- Holstein Friesian
- Jersey
- KiwiCross.
