New bulls Red Holstein

Swissgenetics’ Breeding value Highlights August 2012

Red Holstein 

RED-BOY (September x Stadel x Factor) is the new leader for conformation for the new breeding season. The udder note of 130 is exceptional and makes him #1 for this important trait. The good milk production (+985kg) with indifferent components, calving ease (109) and the good fertility traits for bull (110) and daughters (108) classify him to an all-rounder at the highest level.

Plattery Talent LEONARD (Talent x Rubens x Creation) kept his #1 position for TMI (127) easily. With the combination of milk (+1’567kg) and protein (+51kg), he stays among the absolute best bulls for production. Further strengths are his score for calving ease (106) and his great semen fertility (NRR 109) and longevity (109).

Plattery September NILSON (September x Glacier x Rosedale Lindy) is yet another member of the famous Jonquille family giving his debut. He is a specialist for conformation and health traits. In his faultless conformation profile the value of 120 for feet & legs is outstanding. The very low SCC (115), the high bull fertility (NRR 108) and the good calving ease (103) result in an extra value for breeders.

TGD-Holstein BRESTON (Devis x Jargol x Koerier 104) is a newcomer which starts with a high TMI of 121. He is a specialist for production (+1’257kg) in combination with protein (+42kg; +0.01%). With his open pedigree (no Storm and Rubens blood) he can be used on the most common bloodlines.

Les Frênes Lichtblick DARDANIAN (Lichtblick x Stadel x Rubens) is perfectly balanced between production, conformation and fitness. Remarkable health traits are the positive deviations for bull fertility (NRR 121!), low SCC (113) and high longevity (107).
