Resumo: | This paper examines the impact of sex-sorted semen adoption on dairy farm level economics. Representative dairies are used to simulate the financial impacts of moving to this new technology.  Key economic, financial and herd dynamics will be compared among dairies to show how the uses of sex-sorted semen will affect dairy farms.  All seven of the representative dairies that were analyzed sold surplus replacement heifers using sex-sorted semen.  The increase use of sex-sorted semen can have very positive impacts on dairies throughout the Southern United States.
