New Holstein and High-Components Sire Directories Available

Aug 2001 Sire Directories

PLAIN CITY, Ohio, Aug. 17, 2001 — Beginning today, new Holstein and high-components breeds sire directories from Select Sires are available for dairy producers who are updating their herds’ mating programs. The directories include information from the quarterly sire evaluations calculated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, InterBull and the breed associations, and released on Aug. 13.

The 40-page, full-color Holstein directory features the latest production and type data for Select Sires’ 90 active-A.I. sires, as well as 29 SUPER SAMPLER™ bulls whose semen is available through Select’s young-sire proving program — the Program for Genetic Advancement™ (PGA™). The details about each active-A.I. sire include his complete proof and an information block that graphically depicts his linear type data. In addition, the directory contains pictures of daughters sired by industry-leading sires, such as 7HO5851 Sikkema-Star Air MAGNA-ET (+1702 Type-Production Index), 7HO5710 Pagen-Ernwood DANE-ET (+1658 TPI™-M), 7HO6247 Nunesdale Kismet ELATION-ET*TL (+1649 TPI), 7HO5375 Mara-Thon BW MARSHALL-ET*TL (+1637 TPI) and 7HO6250 Ricecrest EMERSON-ET*BL (+1636 TPI).

The 20-page, full-color high-components breeds directory highlights production and type information for 37 active-A.I. sires and 16 SUPER SAMPLERs representing the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn breeds. Complete proof details and an information block that graphically depicts linear type data are provided for each high-components sire in Select’s active-A.I. lineup. The directory also features pictures publicizing two new active-A.I. sires: 7JE488 Long Distance Barber BARKLY and 9AY73 Covey-Farms Ramses RUNAWAY.
