7 NEW SIRES ADDED TO CURRENT LINE UP!27 August 2009
Bomaz Oman KRAMER is a new Oman son with a cracking balance of production, type and management traits. He offers more milk than many Oman sons but without compromising on milk quality, as he is positive for fat percent and has just a small minus on protein. He is a useful bull for breeding long-lasting cows as he is +0.3 Lifespan, -11 cell count, a low –2.1 fertility and calving ease. His type profile shows that he breeds strong cows with a little more dairyness than some Oman sons, fantastic feet and well attached fore udders that are quite shallow for his production levels. He has an interesting pedigree of the ever-popular O-Bee Manfred Justice out of a Lexvold Luke Hershel dam. His dam is a full sister to the successful Bomaz Homestead (2.6 type) and her half sister is dam to Merchant son Mercantile (1.99 type).
Orbe-View S Strm HVEZDARC is an early September Storm son that will appeal to breeders looking for strong upstanding cows with great feet and udders. He transmits positive components, positive Lifespan and negative cell counts whilst his type shows that he breeds tall cows with dairy strength and width, correct rumps, very steep feet and well attached udders, fore and rear with a strong cleft. He is out of Durham dam who is out of a Jolt out of a Blackstar. Semen will be available later in the year.
Scientific SS DEUCERC has a really nice pedigree and a strong linear profile with particularly good scores for feet and legs and with correct rumps. His daughters are above average stature with dairy strength and wide rumps, slightly straight legs and steep heels. Udders are well attached with a strong support and snug teat placement. Production is above average and he is positive Lifespan and negative cell counts. His sire September Storm has been a popular bull and his first sons are now appearing, whilst his Durham dam already has three other sons in AI and her dam, a Jubilant daughter has bred five EX daughters herself. The next dam is the EX96 Hanoverhill Tony Rae from the famous Roxette/Roxy family. Semen is also available as sexed.
Moon-Line CEDRIC's pedigree of Oman out of a Blitz oozes strength and power and this bull certainly does that. A score of over 2 points for chest width as well as positives for all the other body traits will make Cedric a popular choice for farmers looking to breed stronger cows. He also improves feet and legs as well as udders, particularly fore attachment and teat placement. He also improves production and has a +0.2 Lifespan, a –17 cell count and a +0.4 fertility index. He is very easy calving. His dam’s line runs from Blitz through Storm, Mark Cinder and Aerostar.
MERGIM is an outcross to many bloodlines, and with good production, positive components, +0.2 Lifespan, negative SCC, good fertility and the sort of type profile that makes long-lasting cows, he will have a lot of appeal. His PLI of £184 reflects 47.6 kgs of fat and protein with +0.10% fat and +0.02% protein. He has a +0.2 Lifespan, -12 cells and a low –1.3 fertility score. With over 2 points type and a no-faults linear, Mergim’s daughters are medium-sized with body capacity, wide correct rumps, steep feet and well attached udders with a strong support. He is by Conant-Acres Merv (a Mandel out of Blackstar Sweet) out of a Storm dam.
All Riehl PAXTON is a high production bull with one of the best fertility scores in the Holstein breed (7.6) as well as £201 PLI. His daughters are long-lasting with +0.5 Lifespan and he also transmits a –19 cell count. He has a type merit score of almost 1 point with high figures for stature, chest width, body depth and foot angle. His daughters also exhibit low pins. He is by O-Bee Manfred Justice out of a Rudolph dam who has five lactations with three over 14,000 kgs. The Cypress Hill Laban dam also had five lactations, three at over 12,900 kgs and there is a Chief Mark behind her. Semen is also available as sexed.
High production sire End Road O Man BRONCO has 768 kgs of milk, over 51 kgs of fat and protein, a £184 PLI and almost two points of type. He has a +0.1 Lifespan and a –5 cell count as well as a very good +1.1 fertility and a low 5 for calving ease. His type profile indicates that he breeds daughters with above average stature, really wide chests and deep bodies. They also have wide rumps and really good feet and legs coupled with well-attached udders.
