New Jersey Sire Has a "No Flaws" Proof

One of the industry's standout bulls, 1JE00770 Sunset Canyon DOMINICAN-ET, is a Headline son from the renowned Pearlmont Impuls Daffy. He sports a solid genetic evaluation as determined by his +$696 Cheese Merit, +1485 PTA Milk, +6.2 Productive Life, +1.4 PTA Type, +3.12 JUI^TM and +1.3 Daughter Pregnancy Rate. DOMINICAN is suited for use on Tbones, Blackstones and daughters of any Maid sons.

Sought-after Son of FREDDIE Now Available

Prior to the August 2011 sire summary, 1HO10236 Latuch Freddie LEWIS-ET was a name recognized by few around the industry. Those who had heard of him were excited for the opportunity to utilize him in their own herds. As a high-ranking son of the chart-topping 1HO08784 FREDDIE, LEWIS was utilized as a mating sire before his official release. With a solid, well-rounded proof, LEWIS provides improvement in production, fitness and conformation making him a profitable package.

The dam of LEWIS, Latuch Mac Leanne, VG-85, was contracted by Genex as a heifer. At the time of her mating FREDDIE was not yet available to producers and the opportunity was available to mate a young bull to a young heifer. The result was what Genex Dairy Procurement Manager Paul Haskins described as a "perfect example where the mating accomplished exactly what we wanted: the fitness traits of FREDDIE and the style and type of Mac and Shottle."

At +$726 Lifetime Net Merit, LEWIS has the power to add profitability to any dairy. Delving further into his genetic proof, it is apparent this sire is the perfect blend of type, performance and fitness traits. LEWIS sires improved production with +1190 PTA Milk and positive components. A +2.93 Udder Composite combined with low +2.73 Somatic Cell Score illustrates his daughters will have healthy, durable udders. His +2.71 PTA Type and +2.92 Foot & Leg Composite show further opportunity for siring fancy daughters on an outstanding foundation. Following his father, LEWIS also promotes significant improvement in health traits with 7% Sire Calving Ease, +6.8 Productive Life and +1.5 Daughter Pregnancy Rate.

LEWIS is readily available in both GenChoice^TM sexed semen and conventional semen.
