Genomax Line-up Welcomes Four New Immunity+ Bulls

 

While the number of new additions to the Genomax list is a bit smaller than in recent proof rounds, there is plenty of news just the same. First, from the new recruits from last round; RH Superman is now the top indexing sire available in Canada, at 3473 LPI and his DGV at 3654 is over 50 points ahead of #2 Supershot’s rating. If you haven’t used this sire, he is several hundred points ahead of most of our best Genomax bulls.
In March we introduced High Octane along with his full brother Capital Gain. Since then, both bulls have qualified for the prestigious Immunity+ designation. They both provide high yields with stellar Type. While High Octane is a bit higher rated for Type, Capital Gain is higher for LPI (and TPI) so we’ve opted to make both bulls available.
Lindenright Bradnick Moovin On VG-87-2YR-CANLindenright Megawatt, (featured in photo) the Enforcer from a VG-87-2YR-old Bradnick from the Missy family has been a popular addition in his first month of availability. He brings an attractive pedigree with impressive ratings from a great breeding family. Who else is there that can offer over 1000 kg Milk, positive component deviations, at least +12 for mammary and F&L ratings with 112 Herd Life and 108 Daughter Fertility? Quick answer – there is no other bull!
Many producers have asked us since last fall for Ladys-Manor Doorsopen, the Doorman son from a VG-88-2 YR-old Dorcy. Heavily used as a sire of sons because of his very high TPI numbers (+2586), his release to the market was as a result delayed. Doorsopen, like his sire, is an Immunity+ sire as well which only adds to his allure. We expect strong interest in this bull so some may need to wait to get their order filled. Another Doorman son – KH Cinderdoor Doorman x Iota (who does not appear on the list but is available) will help provide an alternative. He sports similar LPI ratings but with +16 Type will appeal also to the more Type conscious.
Sandy Valley Cabriol is an early Jackman (Snowman son) from an Iota. He was added to our list because of his Immunity+ status, his superlative health profile and because we can provide ready access to him in sexed doses. In addition, he has a very attractive price to make him affordable by even the most budget conscious producers out there.
While EBA Gentle does not yet appear on our Genomax list, we are bringing him in specifically because he is Meridian’s highest LPI-rated son. Bred in France, Gentle makes his home in Hungary, likely a few pens down from Numero Uno. While Meridian is generating flashy, high-scoring, hard-working cows all over North America at the moment, Gentle is your chance to get a head start on his best son to date who hails from a family that has just uncovered the highest TPI calf in the world. Expect to hear more about this family. Get a head start with Gentle – semen will be arriving at WestGen in early May.
