The December 2015 Genetic Evaluation Release saw a large group of former Genomax bulls graduate into active service; and a couple of weeks later, they’re looking to be pretty popular commodities with western Canadian producers. If the Genomax bulls of the December 2012 list proved to be a remarkable group, which of the Genomax bulls of the December 2015 list should you consider using?

WestGen offers you the most elite active genomic bull list in the country, at the lowest average price. The 22 bulls on the December list are sired by 15 different bulls, and they average 3134 GLPI, 2057 Pro$, 1326kg Milk and over 15 Conformation! With the average registered Canadian Holstein born in 2015 having an LPI of about 2350, Pro$ of 900, 650kg Milk and 6.5 Conformation, substantial gain could be achieved in many herds by using a random assortment of these Genomax sires in your breeding program.
However we know not everyone likes randomly using sires, so for those interested in the fine art of breeding, here’s a few things you should know about some of the next potential chart topping proven bulls.

Morningview UPRIGHT is a Kingboy (McCutchen x Super x Shottle) from Morningview Uno Danika GP-84-2YR-USA. Danika descends from the heart of the Scientific branch of the Queen of the Breed Roxys, through a 92 point second calf Baxter that had produced over 51,000kg of milk by her 6th birthday. Behind her there are 7 more Excellent dams, which should give some confidence to his 15 for Conformation. A pedigree like this is a nice feature for the #2 bull on the GPA LPI list!
Progenesis NOVO is an Immunity+ Doorman son that descends from the heart of De-Su’s ‘Queen of Genomics’ family with the Oman daughter 6121 as his 4th dam. He inherited his sire’s conformation genes giving him a 19 type rating and 21 on his direct genomics for type. Like his sire he’s expected to be an udder specialist and
transmit outstanding health traits. He’s the top type bull by 2 points within the Top 100 young bulls LPI list, with an LPI of 3206. There’s 7 other new additions that will be featured in future Bullseyes. Just remember, whichever bulls you choose, the WestGen Genomax list is your source for genomic young bull power!
