Mooove over dairy and beef cows, for a new hybrid breed on the block.
Pāmu and Livestock Improvement Corporation have created a new cattle breed - called the Synegizer.
About 350 first-cross beef-on-dairy calves were born this year, and limited frozen insemination will available next spring.
Pāmu CEO Mark Leslie says dairy farmers won't use Synegizers for milking.
"These bulls will be used to go over maybe some of the cows they don't want to keep the replacements out of - and they'll use these to generate animals that can then go off into the livestock centre."
