OHGGerman Holstein Breeding values - the Osnabrueck top bulls
23/02/05

The new German Holstein February proofs are out and again the Osnabrueck top bulls are creating with their "all time high" a lot of excitement!

With his tremendous production and conformation figures the Osnabrueck Lukas son LANCELOT improves to an exciting new total index of RZG 147 (+ 4) and holds his position as highest living German Holstein sire. His breeding values - based on 150 daughters in 131 herds for production and 115 daughters in 103 herds for conformation - increase to RZM 140 with + 77 kg and + 0,13 % protein. At the same time the LANCELOT daughters convince breeding experts all over the world at several progeny shows as well as at innumerable inspection tours. Especially the development in all body traits, type, feet and udder quality from 1st to 2nd and now to 3rd lactation could impress again 25 international inspectors in January 2005. Therefore it is not surprising at all, that he confirms his excellent values for conformation (RZE 127). His positive trend in longevity and udder health will increase his popularity further on. The evaluation for calving ease is uncahnged. Now in February 2005 Germany introduces officially milking speed and LANCELOT shows a highly positive rating of 112. With his tremendous high conception rates for insemination and embryo transfer he belongs to Germany´s top bulls for sire fertility. Due to his pedigree and breeding values he fits to nearly all, at this time popular bloodlines, especially on Aaron, Champion, Convincer, Formation, Jocko Besne, Lantz, Marshal, Mtoto, Ramos, Storm or Throne. LANCELOT (aAa 312546) improves in nearly all other countries worldwide like the USA with TPI 1802 (+ 66).

With daughters built to last RAMOS is the absolutely specialist for trouble free cows. With a reliability of 95 % his total index increases once more to actually RZG 140 (+ 1)! His complete breeding package und his stayability are the main reasons that RAMOS was one of the most heavily nationally used sire in Germany last year. Together with LANCELOT and DORADO he belongs to the top OHG conformation sires. With RZS 134 he is the breed-leader for udder health in Germany. Additionally he can be used especially as calving ease sire. RAMOS has favourable ratings also for all maternal calving ease and fertility traits. With his tremendous values for udder health, type (especially F&L and udder), production, milkability, fertility and calving ease, the tremendous herd life (RZN 133) of the RAMOS daughters is not surprising at all. With his very unique combination of + 4,00 PL and + 2,51 SCS on the US scale RAMOS is one of the very best bulls worldwide with TPI 1735 (+ 46). With 619 total points (RZM 120 + RZE 127 + RZS 134 + RZN 133 + RZZ 110) he gets incredible 124 points in average that means RAMOS (aAa156324) is today the most complete sire in the world and the ideal choice for for every commercial milk producer.

DORADO improves to the total index RZG 131 (+ 2) with now more than 3000 milk producing daughters (RZM 122) and nearly 2000 classified daughters (RZE 126). Therefore DORADO (aAa 516234) is the highest 2nd crop sire in Germany with more than 1000 daughters with production & type figures and also the highest Dombinator son worldwide. At the 30th International Osnabrueck Black & White Days in January 2005 DORADO won with his daughter group the "International Progeny Group Competition" and was also sire of the best individual cow in this competition. He transmits positive values for somatic cell score and longevity as well.

CHIANTI (aAa 654213) is the highest and most complete Convincer son in Germany with RZG 132 (+ 1). CHIANTI convinces with high values for production and type. Also for all calving, milkability and fertility traits he has positive values. Especially his money for value relation is very attractive due to his CV status.
