2011-02-04

Griffens Governor the No.1 UK type sire and Sunset Canyon Anthems Allstar the No.1 UK PLI sire are now available sexed from Cogent Breeding Ltd.

Governor daughter - Diamond S Governor Joya

Griffens Governor is one of the hottest sires on the market and with his high type credentials (+2.3), offers farmers faster improvements in all type traits.

With a superb pedigree on both sides, he is sired by top type bull, Lester Sambo, and is out of phenomenal US National Champion Lloyn Judes Griffen EX94. This combination of US-Canadian breeding has resulted in a sire that transmits extreme style with exceptional udders (+1.9) and dairy strength (+2.1).

Health traits are also strong attributes that Governor conveys, improving fertility (+1.5), lifespan (+0.1) and PLI (£83).

Allstar daughter - Norse Star All Star VG84

Sunset Canyon Anthems Allstar, topping the UK PLI lists with £185, needs no introduction. Backed by seven generations of EX, Allstar is a superb production bull – providing 273kgs milk at 0.28% F and 0.07% P.

Longevity (+0.1), low somatic cells (-2) and type (+1.3) are also essential traits of Allstar.

Allstar’s breeder, Eric Silva, Sunset Canyon Jerseys said: "Sunset Canyon MBSB Anthem EX95, Allstar’s dam, was the second cow to produce more than 30,000 pounds (13,608kgs) of high component milk in a lactation."

The availability of sexed Governor and Allstar semen provides breeders with a unique opportunity where 90% heifer calves can be guaranteed by two outstanding breed leading bulls. Cogent’s UK Sales and Genetics Manager, Hugh Pocock said: "Both Governor and Allstar semen have been in extremely high demand and we anticipate that the demand for sexed semen will be even higher."
