Tick Magnet Scores

In our attempt to objectively analyse the variation in the Tick Burden of our Shorthorn Cattle, we have developed a scoring system (1-5, with a 1 TMS being the most desirable), to rate the amount of Ticks our cows carried in the summer of 2014/2015. The initial results are very interesting, and will help to guide our breeding decisions.  To the right is Marellan Molly 5027, a TMS1 cow and promoted to our Embryo Transplant  program.
