Alta releases six new bulls to proven lineup
As the leading genetic program among progressive dairy producers, the Alta Advantage program continues to command a presence around the globe. From Advantage come the myriad of highly accurate proofs, as well as extremely fertile, genetic-standout bulls.

This round, Alta released six new bulls to the proven lineup. Leading off the TPI list is 11HO10365 AltaGOALMAN (2145 TPI), a production and CFP specialist. He is Alta’s highest proven bull for CFP (160 pounds) and second highest proven bull for pounds of milk (2337 PTAM).

The FutureStar program continues to maintain an extraordinary graduation rate with three graduates this August: 11HO10469 AltaEXACTER, 11HO10360 AltaAVALON and 11HO10392 AltaRAZOR. AltaAVALON, a real global favorite during his G-Star and FutureStar careers, more than delivers on his genomic promises. He will be popular with even the most discriminating client for type (3.10 PTAT, 2.89 UDC).

All three of these former FutureStar bulls maintain a ConceptPlus designation, signifying superior fertility. Combined, they have over 20,000 fertility observations based on pregnancy check results in the competitive environments of our Advantage partner herds. For Alta, a fertile product is always of utmost importance. Indicative of this is the fact that this August, all but one of our new release sires are of ConceptPlus status.

Four bulls released in April with production information now receive official type information. In April, 11HO10334 AltaBUENO, 11HO10346 AltaJENKINS, 11HO10316 AltaTRINITY and 11HO10338 AltaQUASAR received the “Advantage Consultant seal of approval” in terms of their breeding patterns.

Both the G-Star and FutureStar programs add several new genetic powerhouses this proof round. 11HO11027 AltaKOOL now holds the top position in the FutureStar lineup with an impressive GTPI of 2358. Topping the G-Star list is newcomer 11HO11158 AltaSUPLEX, whose GTPI is the highest yet attained by a G-Star bull at 2427.

CRV bulls have the components to lead to profitability
The August 2012 sire evaluations for CRV presented a strong foundation for efficient production and lifetime profitability. With eight new Holstein sires and all the previous favorites showcasing functional type, high milk solids, and increasing milk production, their daughters are sure to exceed expectations for efficiency and profitable production in their lifetime.

Several of our current InSire genomically tested bulls have made some tremendous improvements. One of these, TOM (M-O-M x Mac), is now an udder and feet and leg improver with 2.13 UDC and 2.83 FLC, respectively. CORNELIUS (Super x Colby) is sure to produce long-lasting daughters with a PL of 6.8 and a positive DPR. For improvements in the parlor or the show ring, look no further than HUNTER (M-O-M x Shottle). With a 2409 GTPI, 1794M, and CRV management traits of 107 for temperament and 105 for lactation persistency, what’s not to like?

Our newest addition to the proven line up, PHANTASY (Fortune x Ronald), has presented strong numbers for components with 33F, 59P, and a 537 CM$. He also has presented strong health management traits with a 106 for udder health and a 102 for temperament and persistency.

Perhaps more exciting than the great production numbers seen with our existing line-up was the outstanding numbers of the new InSires this proof run. LAKEN (Freddie x Bolton) leads the pack combining type and production with a 2243 GTPI and being 1457M, 59F and 48P. GREER (Beacon x Planet) offers high and wide rear udders that are sure to be full being 1932M.

PEPPER (Altaiota x Alan) will have spicey daughters with 2257 GTPI and 2.59 type scores. Finally, our ACE (Shamrock x Goldwyn) in the hole will be just that, producing long-lasting cows with a PL of 5.2 with 1339M and 60F.

CRV’s Jersey program has kept pace with the impressive new Holstein numbers. WRANGLER (Valentino x Impuls) offers performance and functionality being 1151M, 42F, 42P, and 4.2 PL. VENDOR (Region x Paramount) is a production powerhouse at over 1200M and more than 100 pounds combined fat and protein, and is 204 JPI and 4.05 JUI.

New Generation Genetics bulls leads the way with diversity sire offerings
Following the release of the August 2012 genetic evaluations, bulls from New Generation Genetics ranked at or near the top for Milk, Components, Type, Udder Composite, DPR, Productive Life, NM$, PPR and the new Mobility trait, which was added to proofs this run.

54BS374 Sun-Made VIGOR ET *TM VIGOR continues to sire offspring that dairy producers worldwide want to have in their herds. His proof is PPR 146, NM$ +457, +377M, +0F, +19P, +1.1 DPR, +0.7 Type, +1.18 UDC, +0.9 Mobility and a breed-leading +7.3 PL.

SDB continues adding on to genetic offerings
Sierra Desert Breeders has been in business for five years now. We started in August 2007 with five Holstein bulls. Today, we have 37 Holstein bulls, seven Jersey bulls, one Brown Swiss bull, one Angus bull and one Normande bull on our pricelist – all with the 506 NAAB code.

Sierra Desert Breeders is very committed to our proven program and believe that our customers will be best served with highly proven bulls, with daughters in many commercial herds. We are very confident that our program and the bulls we have to offer meet every dairyman’s criteria.

The August run was an “add-on” to the April run. All of our original bulls added many daughters and are well over 90 percent Reliability. Almost all of them increased in production.

Proven bulls, like 506H151 Heirloom, 506H114 Revolution, 506H116 Big Daddy and 506H115 Challenger, not only increased a lot of milk, but also deliver in solid type.

Proven Type improvers, like 506H153 Theo, 506H223 Suntan and 506H155 Shyster, will give the dairyman cows that will be around for a long time and have a high sale value.

For conception, no bull is better than 506H109 Oslo. The data we collect on the dairy through DairyComp 305 shows he beats every bull in the breed. Also, more than half of our bulls are 7 percent calving ease or less with 82 percent Reliability.

In the genomics area, bulls like 506H247 Froggy (10.1 PL), 506H250 Castaway (904 CM$) and 506H249 Mr Big (PTAT 3.77) are going to be shining stars. A great example of our philosophy is our new genomic bull 506H700 Barney. He is a Snowman son out of the famous Regancrest Barbie family. With a great genomic proof, he will be very popular.

As far as our Jersey bulls, 506J171 Bellringer now has 3483 daughters in his proof and is +200 Milk and 1.7 PTAT.
