Swissgenetics was the first company with genomic young bulls available for the Brown Swiss breed, with no other country having more experience in Brown Swiss genomics. Swissgenetics markets its genomic bulls under the subbrand "Optimis". Four of the current Optimis eye-catchers are GLENN-sons, BLOOMING, JOKER, SHOTTLE, and Vigor-son ANIBAL.

Scherma Glenn BLOOMING-ET (Glenn x Arsene x Premium)

BLOOMINGS's strengths

Protein: +35kg
Frame/Capacity: +1.96
Rump: +1.93
Global Note: +1.68

Dam to BLOOMING, Arsene BEVERLY EX-96, is an exceptional cow. Besides her high classification, she also is extremely productive. In 2237 days she produced >91’000kg of milk. This implies an average milk production of >40kg per day. Impressively, with 4.4% fat and 3.5% protein. BEVERLY is a maternal sister to proven sire BONGOLO and still ranks among the top cows with her breeding values.

GS Alliance Glenn JOKER-ET (Glenn x Denver x Starbuck)

Jokers’s strengths
Protein: +0.10%
Milking speed: 109
Udder: +2.12
Global Note: +1.65

JOKER is a member of the Swiss cow family of the moment, the Starbuck JOLA-family. What this family achieves is unmatched by any other family. JOLA has produced >150’000kg milk herself, not less than 8 daughters and 5 granddaughters already surpassed 50’000kg lifetime production. They combine this with excellent conformation figures, just as proven bulls from this family do, such as JOLDEN, JONGLEUR and AJAX.

Haab Top-Swiss SHOTTLE-ET (Glenn x Prophet x Gordon)

SHOTTLE’s strengths
Milk: +936kg
Protein: +34kg
Frame/Capacity: +1.93
Global Note: +1.25

SHOTTLE comes from the same family as Swissgenetics’s present protein top-bull PROUD. The dam to SHOTTLE, Prophet HILDE EX-92, had a best record of 12’175kg milk with 4.0% fat and 3.4% protein  in just 299 days. She now is dry after her sixth lactation and produced over 69’000kg milk so far. This family has already proven to breed, both on female as on male side.

Schärz BS Vigor ANIBAL-ET (Vigor x Mascot x Starbuck)

ANIBAL’s strengths
Milk Index: 128
Somactic cell count: 120
Herd life: 113
Global Note: +1.74

ANIBAL is the # 1 of all genomic Brown Swiss bulls at Swissgenetics for Total Merit Index. He has great figures for production and functionality. This is no surprise, since ANIBAL’s sire Vigor is a specialist in this field. Only also in the dam-line these strengths are present. His family breeds long herd life and high protein percentage. Grand dam to ANIBAL is Starbuck ARINA, she also is the dam to our current # 1proven bull ALIBABA!
