Bullseye March 2015

High Octane – High Type and High Production!

As of March 1st two world-renown genomic sires and full brothers, Stantons High Octane and Stantons Capital Gain, have been added to WestGen’s Genomax™ line- up. We are confident that both will be popular, but in particular expect High Octane to be a bull that will resonate with our clients.

Progressive dairymen in western Canada count on our Genomax additions each proof round, plus those added between rounds, to provide a consistent source of the world’s leading genomic young sires. This program is home to some of the world’s most famous and profitable names who have later gone on to graduate to the proven list, including recent examples such as Facebook, Supersonic and Numero Uno. The current list includes newer stars like the remarkable Doorman and a battery of his enticing sons. Genomax is where stars are born.

Available to Westgen members as of March 1, both High Octane and Capital Gain offer breed-leading type with high LPI as well as high NM$ and GTPI rankings. They’re from one of the industry’s most prolific families… The Chassitys! Their dam is the VG-87 Observer from Chassity the EX-92 GMD DOM 14* Shottle who is the dam of popular sires including Colt 45, Charlie and perhaps most notably, Gold Chip. Next dam is EX-92-2E GMD DOM 6* Cinderella and then the famous Barbie EX-92 GMD DOM 6*.

Sired by the popular McCutchen, High Octane is the only bull available in Canada who combines +2000 kg Milk and +20 Type. At +3.24 PTAT, +3.13 UDC, +1630 PTAM and with a high +2445 GTPI, he is equally impressive with his US numbers. Full brother Capital Gain sports a slightly lower Type prediction at +18, but on the other hand his TPI level at +2468 slightly exceeds High Octane’s rating.

At WestGen, it is our aim to bring uniquely attractive sire options to your door. High Octane with his stellar Type and Milk combination is certainly one of those kind of bulls. It is hard to imagine that his best daughters won’t be among tomorrow’s high scoring cows. Contact your WestGen Rep to reserve your doses as supply will be limited for the coming months.
