Magor Bolivia Allen, an Allen son from Goldwyn’s
dam, is a born leader as the No.1 type sire in a US proof at
+3.74PTAT. He has a breeding pattern similar to his sire,
and combines tremendous strength and width with commendable figures
of+549kg Milk, +0.10% Fat and -0.02% Protein on the UK scale.
Willie Tait, Semex UK’s genetics manager commented, “We
have some great, high quality sires newly available in the UK,
really delivering the goods for producers in terms of key functional
traits and production figures. We have already received
huge interest in Magor Bolivia Allen - an outstanding
sire with high type, high fat and low somatic cell count. Glenhaven
Carnival and Morningview Ashlar are
already proven to provide profitability over the long term, coming
in at No. 3 and No. 4 respectively on the Canadian Lifetime Profitability
Index. We have also added two sires coming from the renowned
Laurie Sheik family - Comestar Littoral and Stantons
Sidney, both breeding easily managed and long lasting
cows. We are confident that these additions will prove
to be popular choices amongst UK producers, whatever their breeding
goals may be.”
Morningview Ashlar comes into his own in terms
of health and fertility, breeding medium-sized
cows with low somatic cell count and positive daughter fertility
that will work well in any UK management system. He transmits
an ideal combination of yield, fat and protein % to maximise
milk income. An exciting Goodluck son, Glenhaven
Carnival breeds daughters who are highly fertile and
will save money on insemination and replacement costs. With high
fat and protein % and the ability to lower somatic cell counts,
he will also improve production returns. Very desirable milking
speed and superb temperament make Carnival daughters easy and
trouble free cows.
Dairymen aiming to boost milk will find that Stormatic son Comestar
Littoral fits the bill, breeding very high producing
cows with tremendous lasting ability and excellent temperament. Daughters
stand straight on their legs for great mobility. Stantons
Sidney combines two prolific Holstein families – the
Laurie Sheiks and the Saturdays. By the every popular Comestar
Lheros, Sidney’s daughters are stylish with wider rear
udders, strong median suspensory ligaments and hard loins,
making them very functional and profitable additions to any
herd.
An excellent all-round type sire is Charpentier Magot, one
of the first proven Stouder Morty sons. With
exceptional feet and classy udders, Magot daughters
display great strength and rate highly for conformation and UK
type. Another Morty son introduction is Freurehaven
Marconi. Out of the well-respected Raven family,
Marconi daughters have exceptional udder and steep foot angle.
They milk easily with low somatic cell count, an ideal choice
for producers aiming to increase output and revenue.
