MADISON, N.J. - To help commercial producers who use Black Angus genetics better understand the value of genomic technology, Pfizer Animal Health is offering five chances to win $1,000 to invest in the future of their herd. By entering the HD 50K and GeneMaxTM Sweepstakes before March 31, 2013, five producers will receive $1,000 each to apply toward the purchase of an animal with genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) powered by High-Density 50K (HD 50K), or testing their own herds with GeneMax.
Together, HD 50K and GeneMax can help maximize Black Angus cattle efficiency:
· GE-EPDs powered by HD 50K provide the most dependable option for selecting young Angus bulls.
· GeneMax is a simple and affordable DNA test to help identify the best high-percentage Angus heifers and feeder calves sired by registered Angus bulls.
Any Black Angus animal with GE-EPDs powered by HD 50K is eligible to be purchased with this grand prize. Or, if producers choose to apply the grand prize toward GeneMax testing, those tests can be used on any high-percentage Angus animals. Winners will be drawn and announced monthly.
Additionally, prizes will be awarded to the first 500 entrants - each will receive a free 100 mL bottle of DECTOMAX¨ 1% Injectable. To enter the HD 50K and GeneMax Sweepstakes, visit http://www.genomeX
