GENEX INTRODUCES ELITE 8 HOLSTEIN SIRES
SHAWANO, Wis. - The Genex Cooperative, Inc. lineup presents eight new release sires over +$700 Lifetime Net Merit (LNM), and all but one has a Genex sire in its pedigree!
At +$783 LNM, 1HO10275 DREW (Man-O-Man x Wizard) leads the new debuts for profitability. DREW mimics his maternal grandsire, retired Genex sire 1HO06360 WIZARD, with incredible health and fitness traits: +6.1 Productive Life, +2.61 Somatic Cell Score (SCS), 6% calving ease and +2.7 Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR).
1HO10255 GOLDENGATE %-I hails from the GENESIS Cooperative Herd. This +$749 LNM bull is the son of the industry's top TPISM and LNM sire, 1HO08784 FREDDIE %-I. GOLDENGATE improves feet and legs, increases percent fat (+0.12%), and possesses elite calving ease (5%) and exceptional longevity (+6.8 Productive Life).
1HO10175 MARCELON %-I joins the lineup as another high-ranking FREDDIE son. MARCELON is attributed with outstanding feet and legs (+2.28 Foot & Leg Composite) and standout style (+1.93 PTA Type).
Healthy, trouble-free udders will abound in daughters of 1HO10464 VIBRANT %-I. This bright new debut (Cassino x Obrian) is the lineup's leader for SCS sporting an extremely low +2.41. He excels in fat percent (+0.11%) too, leading to his +$839 Cheese Merit.
Top-notch fat yield and impeccable daughter fertility describe the +$735 LNM 1HO10420 DESIGN (Russell x Wizard); his +82 pounds of fat and +2.8 DPR are impressive. Good conformation, sturdy feet and legs and easy calvings make him even more attractive.
1HO10285 LEDGE %-I exhibits an outstanding combination of style and appeal, health and fitness, and profitability. It's a proof one has to see to believe: +1.97 PTAT, +2.00 Udder Composite, +2.60 Foot & Leg Composite, 5% Sire Calving Ease, +2.8 DPR, +7.1 Productive Life, +2259 TPI and +$728 LNM!
