August 2026 Breeding Highlights – Remarkable bulls across all breeds
Following the August genetic evaluation, Swissgenetics presents its latest Breeding Highlights. This selection includes young genomic bulls, progeny-tested sires and internationally established bulls.
Milk production, components, functional traits, type, polled genetics or beef performance: the featured bulls offer a wide range of possibilities for modern, practical breeding programmes.
New: the Optimis logo is no longer used to identify genomic bulls. Progeny-tested bulls, however, are now identified by a specific logo.
