PLAIN CITY, Ohio, Nov. 11, 2002 — New Holstein and high-components breeds sire directories from Select Sires now are available for dairy producers as they update mating programs for their herds. 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 Nov. 11.

The 40-page, full-color Holstein directory features the latest production and type data for Select Sires’ 89 active-A.I. sires, as well as 23 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 bulls, such as 7HO6025 De-Matt Rudolph TEAMSTER-ET*TV (+1733 Type-Production Index), 9HO2704 Coyne-Farms Patron BEAVER*TV (+1732 TPI™), 7HO8428 Nor-Som STORMY*TV (+1697 TPI), 7HO5851 Sikkema-Star Air MAGNA-ET*TV (+1678 TPI) and 7HO5710 Pagen-Ernwood DANE-ET*TV (+1664 TPI).

The 20-page, full-color high-components-breeds directory highlights production and type information for 38 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 three new active-A.I. sires: 7JE682 Forest Glen Daniel JAKE-ET, 7JE696 BW LEGION and 9JE184 Frerichs Khan JAY.
