"Have you HERD" about our Color Breeds?

Our December Jersey catalog has everything that the Jersey breed is demanding. 
There is great concern among Jersey Dairymen that the breed is bottle necking around Impuls and the Violet family.  The top 5 progeny proven bulls in our catalog (Allstar, SF, Plus, Braveheart and Goose) are free of Impuls and Violet, and all are in the top 35 of the official Jersey Performance List.
Trinity's Allstar Melody
Daughter of 1J654 Allstar
 
* 1J654,Allstar is our progeny proven leader for profitability at 561 CM$.  He sires excellent udders and extreme components and is a stunning +3.8 SCR.
* 1J648, SF, will sire well balanced profitable cows as his 536 CM$ conclusively demonstrates.
* 1J711, Plus, is earning a reputation for siring the best young cows in the breed.  They have great dairy strength and exceptional udder conformation to go along with high fluid yield.  He’s also an outstanding +3.6 SCR.
* 1J798,Braveheart and 1J672 Goose have absolutely no Danish influence in their pedigrees.

Allstar, Goose and Braveheart are all available in GenChoice and their unique pedigrees will allow our members to use them with confidence throughout their heifer pens.

We also have an exceptional group of very exciting genomicly proven Jerseys that offer a wide variety of pedigree options. 
* 1J792,Machete,a Vibrant from an Impuls, leads the group with 656 CM$.  He sires the unique combination of high fluid yield and high components.
* 1J791,Dividend, a Valentino from a Restore, is our JPI leader at 235.  He sires extreme fluid yield and outstanding udders as his 4.52 JUI attests.  His full brother 1J793, Divine, sires a very similar profile.
* 1J768,Hendrix, a Lennox from a Matinee, excels in fitness traits with a stellar 2.76 SCS and +1.5DPR.
* 1J794, Zayd, is our first Plus son. He’s a personal favorite of mine and I’m confident that he’ll sire outstanding frames, great udders and longevity.  Zayd’s dam shows the same exceptional dairy strength as Plus dam.   Both cows are still working hard in large commercial herds.
* 1J770,Dominican, a Headline from an Impuls, is siring some of the highest genomic calves in the breed.  He’s a total performance standout with an exceptional 2.0 SCR.

All six of these bulls, Machete, Dividend, Divine, Hendrix, Zayd and Dominican have one thing in common.  They are all available in GenChoice.

On proof day we added 5 exciting and diverse new genomic proven bulls to our lineup.

1J801, Madden is a Valentino from a Matinee who is predicted to sire the elusive combination of high yield with components and positive DPR.
* 1J810,Enrique, is a Legal from a Dale with an impressive +512 CM.
* 1J809,Willie, is a Renegade from a truly unique maternal line, Levy x Beau x Steadfast.  He’ll sire excellent components and fitness.  He’ll work great on daughters of Plus.
* 1J806,Toronto, Merchant x Nathan has a gaudy 5.79 JUi.
* Rounding out the group is 1J800, Racer, a Legal x matinee.

Genex is the Jersey source for genetic excellence, diversity and GenChoice from our very best bulls.

The Genex colored breed lineup continues to be strong.

Ayrshire breeders will be excited to see that 1A341, Joey, a Jupiter from a Humour, with a Parent average of over 500 NM$ is now available in GenChoice.

Our Brown Swiss lineup continues to feature three exceptional genomic proven Vigor sons:  1B591, Brute; 1B586, Victory and 1B589,Alimony.

The Genex Guernsey offering continues to be the strongest in the industry, featuring total performance breeder favorites 1G434 Geo, 1G439 Sherbert and 1G436 BlueSpruce.  These progeny proven standouts are supplemented with GenChoice semen from the exciting sample sires 1G442 Sergeant and 1G441 Toro.

Rounding out the Colored Breed catalog is the most exciting new Milking Shorthorn bull seen in years.  1M541 Cowboy-P is a polled bull breaking into our lineup with a stellar 439NM$ and 208PTI.  He’ll be in high demand among our Milking Shorthorn member breeders and he’ll have crossover appeal among Red and cross breeding enthusiasts.

As always, the Genex Jersey and Colored Breed catalogs provide our members with one stop shopping for their genetic solutions.  Thanks and Happy Holidays.
