What about our progeny-proven sires?

Genex is finishing the year strong with 5 out of top 10 NM$ and TPI progeny-proven bulls, or said another way, Genex offers as much at the top of these lists as the rest of the industry COMBINED!
                                                              1HO8784 Freddie                                                              
He is still leading the HERD

1HO8784Freddie is your breed leader for NM$ (+786) and TPI (+2295) while adding over 1500 new milking daughters for a grand total of 2663.  Also more than doubled in number of classified daughters while UDC and PTAT levels continue to climb—currently at +1.55UDC and +1.66PTAT.  Reports from the field consistently indicate that udders and overall conformation are better than expected-- breeder satisfaction is high!

Rounding out our top 5 NM$ bulls is 1HO8777 Awesome at #2 and 720NM$, 1HO9167 O-Style at #3 and 708NM$, 1HO9527 Massey at #5 and 699NM$, and 1HO9192 Hill at #9 and 659NM$.  These 5 bulls now average over 1650 milking daughters in their evaluation and on the average added over 800 new milking daughters this week, or nearly double!

Genex posted an equally strong showing on the TPI list with 4 of the top 5 placings:
#1 Freddie at +2295,
#3 Massey at +2244,
#4 1HO9192 Hill at +2239, and
#5 1HO9167O-Style at +2207. 

1HO2655 Latham debuts at #10 and +2156TPI on the Top 100 TPI list while 1HO8778 Super added nearly 1500 new milking daughters and maintained visibility at #13 and +2143TPI.

Best wishes for a happy holiday season and brisk sales the next four months.  Our lineup has weathered the calculation changes well and our genomic proven offerings have more than demonstrated the ability to become progeny-proven breed leaders.
