JMC Genetics & Tithebarn
Better Genetics. Better Nutrition. Better Herd Performance.
At Tithebarn, we understand that exceptional herd performance doesn't happen by chance. It starts with the right genetics and is supported by the right nutrition.
Together, Tithebarn and JMC Genetics help farmers improve:
Fertility and conception rates
Herd health and longevity
Milk production and milk solids
Calving ease
Feed efficiency
Beef calf value
Lifetime productivity
It's a complete approach to herd performance that delivers lasting results.
That's why we're proud to work alongside JMC Genetics, combining decades of nutritional expertise with independent cattle genetics to help farmers build healthier, more productive and more profitable herds.
Whether your goal is to improve fertility, increase milk solids, enhance longevity or maximise beef-on-dairy returns, our combined expertise provides a complete herd performance solution.
Nutrition and Genetics: Stronger Together
Every breeding decision influences the future of your herd, but achieving the best results depends on much more than selecting the right sire.
Well-balanced nutrition supports fertility, healthy pregnancies, strong calves, efficient growth, milk production and cow longevity. When these nutritional foundations are combined with carefully selected genetics, the benefits can be seen throughout the entire herd.
A Partnership Built Around Herd Performance
Successful livestock farming isn't about focusing on a single aspect of herd management - it's about bringing everything together.
Genetics determine an animal's potential, but nutrition plays a vital role in helping that potential become reality. Even the very best bloodlines require the correct balance of minerals, energy and nutrition to perform consistently throughout their lifetime.
By combining Tithebarn's nutritional expertise with JMC Genetics' independent breeding advice, farmers gain access to a joined-up approach that supports every stage of herd performance - from breeding decisions through to long-term productivity.
Whether you're running a dairy or beef enterprise, our shared focus is simple: healthier animals, greater efficiency and improved profitability.

ABOUT JMC GENETICS 〰️
Established by Tithebarn, JMC Genetics was created to give UK farmers greater choice and access to world-leading dairy and beef genetics.
Unlike providers tied to a single breeding company, JMC Genetics operates independently. This means every recommendation is based on what is best for your herd - not restricted by one supplier's catalogue.
The team works with leading international breeding organisations to provide carefully selected genetics across a range of breeds, including Holstein, Norwegian Red, Fleckvieh, Montbéliarde and Beef-on-Dairy sires.
Every breeding programme is tailored to your herd's objectives, helping you make informed decisions that deliver long-term genetic progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Genetics determine an animal's potential, but nutrition enables that potential to be achieved. Without the correct nutritional programme, animals are unlikely to perform to the level their genetics allow. Combining both creates healthier, more productive and more profitable herds.
-
JMC Genetics provides independent breeding advice, allowing farmers access to genetics from leading international breeding organisations rather than being restricted to a single supplier. This means recommendations are always focused on achieving the best outcome for your herd.
-
JMC Genetics supplies genetics across a wide range of dairy and beef breeds, including Holstein, Norwegian Red, Fleckvieh, Montbéliarde and Beef-on-Dairy sires, helping farmers choose the genetics that best suit their breeding objectives.
-
Absolutely. Tithebarn and JMC Genetics both operate independently, and farmers are welcome to use either service. However, combining nutritional expertise with breeding advice often delivers the greatest long-term improvements in herd performance.
