Cogent Breeding Ltd. (CBL), a beef and dairy genetics and sexed semen technology company, has bought Cogent Supershot, a bull that has a GTPI of 2577, GLPI of 3537, GPFT of 3275 and his UK PLI is £258.
“This is an extremely important acquisition,” says Managing Director Mark Evington. “We are acutely aware of the pressures being placed on farmers around the world to deliver more from less and we strongly believe that bulls of the quality of Cogent Supershot are a critical part of the solution.
“It is rare for a bull of this quality and potential to be discovered in Europe.As a result, he will be made available in Europe, North America and the rest of the world at the same time and we anticipate a strong level of demand for early stage semen from Cogent Supershot.”
Supershot originates from a long-established U.S. cow family developed at Vir-Clar Holsteins, tracing through the highly acclaimed Tirsvad Patron Claire EX92.As potentially the best Supersire son in the world, the company says, he combines record genomics with a solid, reliable cow family that has proven itself over the years in many different herds.
He hails from the same line as the famous Koepon Classy and Anderstrup Claire family, known around the world for its ability to breed high-ranking females and bulls on numerous different bases. PD
