Research - Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom
These Are Halcyon Genetics.Part of the Barber Farms Family, we specialise in the breeding and development of high genetic merit animals, working with AI companies to bring bulls to stud, alongside maximising our female progeny's genetic potential to create the next generation of trait leaders whilst growing family dynasties which span generations.Pushing to the Pinnacle of British GeneticsNestled in the foothills of the Forest of Bowland, we work with herds and services across the United Kingdom; Europe & North America to develop our animals and maximise their genetic potential.Pushing for ProgressionWe use research in heritability translations from the dam and sire to respective progeny, to improve upon parental estimates. This allows us to be clinical with our sire selection so we're more confident we're getting the most progress out of each mating.Where it All StartedEstablished in 2015 through a partnership with Cogent, Halcyon Genetics became part of the Barber Farms family. Alongside HighHopes Holsteins (RT&CJ Barber), we utilise resources of the entire business to progress.Our Plans for the FutureWe're continuing to progress to a point now where we've had ten solid proof runs of continuous genetic growth. Recently, we've explored $TPI testing and improving our calculations for the US proof. We're expected to have multiple animals in the highest £PLI ranks by 2022.
