flag Australian dairy farmers can now use the A$xD index to breed higher-value Angus dairy beef cattle.

flag From December 2024, dairy farmers in Australia can use the new Angus on Dairy Index (A$xD) to select beef sires that produce high-quality dairy beef cattle. flag The index emphasizes calving ease, growth, and meat quality. flag Sires in the top 10% of the A$xD have calves with lighter birthweights and higher 400-day weights. flag Aus-Meat's recent change allows cattle with 50% Angus heritage to be marketed as Angus, opening up higher-value markets for beef from dairy cattle.
