Our New Graduates


What about our New Graduates for the December proofs?

 22 new Holstein sires graduated to domestic active service this week. Headlining is 1HO10396Cabriolet, (pictured right) our new NM$ leader at +955.  An extreme yield and fitness specialist, Cabriolet boasts +1621 PTAM with outstanding components (+62PTAP and +100PTAF), high percents (+.05%F and +.16%P), and +7.4PL.  This Robust son is one of 8 new Genesis MOET program graduates; his VG-85 dam is a full sister to 1HO10225 Bud.                                                                                                                          

Next on our NM$ leader board is 1HO10559 Rainier @ +830.  He continues a pattern of high production outlined in his pedigree: +1581PTAM, +55P, and +108PTAF complemented by +1.0DPR.   He is also a Genesis graduate; one of three brothers in our active lineup from Sharky daughter Deervue-Acres Robin CRI-ET.  His Super brother 1HO10505 Ridott also graduated this week and together they join Sebastian brother 1HO10133 Radisson to show that family really does matter.

1HO10662Feedback is all positive: 805NM$, positive component percentages (+.04%P and +.19%F), +1.9DPR, and 5%SCE.  He’s also our first Erdman son.

1HO10817James*CV is our fourth new bull over 800NM$ and our first opportunity to market a son from a Massey dam—one more illustration of the power and speed of genomics—it was just August of last year when Massey received his first progeny proof.  1HO10817 James*CV continues the production-packed top end of our lineup with +1793PTAM, +58PTAP, and +81PTAF.  Low SCS is his specialty at +2.52.

1HO10648Puzzle provides all genetic solutions needed for a breeding program: a well-rounded 794NM$ bull with plenty of milk (+1800PTAM), protein (55), and fat (61) along with over +2.00 for PTAT and UDC.  At +7.2PL, +1.4DPR, and armed with a promising GenCheck rating, probably the only thing left to figure out is how you will manage to keep up with sales demand!

1HO10644Indy and 1HO10655 Poetry are two more of our 5 new Observer sons (Rainier, Puzzle, & Loyal are the others).  Both are solid performers over 700NM$, +5.0PL, +2.00PTAT, and +2.00UDC levels.  Indy is a Genesis MOET graduate that traces through the Dellia cow family with a little higher DPR at +1.2; Poetry has a VG-86 Earnit dam and is our highest new PTAM graduate at +2040.

Of special mention are 1HO10652 Boxer and 1HO10369 Loyal, a pair of bulls that have been very handy mating sires when pedigree variety is needed--both offer Shottle and Goldwyn free sire stacks.  Boxer is our first Parker son; his dam is a VG-87 Formation Bret from an EX-92 Debut.  Conformation and yield are his specialties with over +120 pounds of combined fat and protein and exceeding +2.00 on UDC, FLC, and PTAT evaluations.  Loyal is another Genesis grad with an Observer x Satire x Lynch sire stack and is our highest new UDC addition at +3.13.
