We enjoy poring over the multitude of options at proof time to assemble our new Genomax offering. Certainly, the chart-topping new comers for LPI and Pro$ and Conformation are the easy ones to identify for inclusion, there are others that more subtly find their way to the list – either because of their overall balance of traits or additional sub-brands they qualify for like Immunity+®, Robot Ready™ or A2A2. This round we are particularly pleased as we feel we have added something for everyone.
Dam: Progenesis Enforcer Pat
GP-83-3YR-CAN
Progenesis LP, ON
Progenesis PADAWAN
Jedi x Enforcer
He is the highest rated LPI bull currently available in the market and among just a handful who surpass the 3000 Pro$ mark. Add +10 Type and A2A2 status and 2000Kg Milk to set him further apart. The crowning pieces to his appeal are his lofty 112 HerdLife rating and his Stellar 115 Daughter Fertility score. In fact he is the only bull above 3300 LPI and 112 Daughter Fertility with double digit Type too. Sounds like a must-use bull!
Our Favorite VC Mafia
Our-Favorite VC MAFIA
Solomon x Atwood
Bred from 5 generations of Excellent dams Mafia is a rarity in today’s AI lineups. Most dams are not even calved out when we introduce their sons to the Genomax list. Here we have one with a dam already Ex-92 and the next two dams Ex-93! Add Solomon just to add a bit more Type and we expect Mafia will muscle his way into the mix to make the next generation of show calves. He is a specialty bull to be sure, but who doesn’t have a few specialty animals to use such a bull on?
Maternal Great-Granddam: Gold-N-Oaks Arabel 1765 VG-88-3YR-USA
Arabelle Syndicate, USA
Westcoast ARDOR
Draftpick x MVP
A slightly different pedigree certainly helps but Ardor, who is not the highest for LPI, TPI, Pro$ or Type is an exciting addition for his exceptional balance of traits that include Immunity+, Robot Ready and A2A2 status along with 100kg Fat, +10 Type, and 112 HerdLife and Daughter Fertility ratings. This bull just ticks all the boxes.
Melarry Fuel
Melarry FUEL
Duke x Kingboy
There are only a handful of bulls that combine +100kg Fat ratings with double digit Type. Fewer yet clear those two hurdles easily like Fuel does with 113 kg Fat and +13 Conformation. Notable is his good Rump improvement ratings too – especially his 5L rating for Rump Angle – along with a pleasing +9 Chest Width score. His 105 Milking Temperament rating gets noticed too as does his over +2300 kg milk rating. Lots to like about Fuel!
Dam: Mapel Wood CGain Lotto P
VG-86-2YR-CAN
Vector Genetics, ON
Vogue NEVER AGAIN-PP RDC
Sifter P x Capital Gain
His 3158 LPI is certainly acceptable but, not chart-topping. Add Homozygous Polled and +12 Conformation and everything changes. Among the Homozygous polled group, he is in a class of his own and that owes largely to his extreme DGV ratings (3338 LPI and +14 Type) that pulled upward dramatically his official GPA scores. If you dream of a day when you won’t need to dehorn calves, Never Again will help get you there.
Dam: Claynook Reata Wickham
VG-85-2YR-CAN
Claynook Farms Ltd., ON
Claynook RUMMY
Abbott x Wickham
The Abbott heifers we see are very eye-appealing and the sons have impressive Type ratings too. Rummy at +16 Conformation with +16 Mammary System and +14 Feet & Leg scores will get noticed among the group of Abbott sons for Type, but his 3346 LPI reflects more than just Type. He has a respectable Fat rating at +71 kg, and his 110 HerdLife, 110 Mastitis Resistance (tied with Fortune as highest on the Genomax list) plus Immunity+ and A2A2 status make him a highly sought-after bull.
Maternal Great-Granddam: Larcrest Crimson VG-88-3YR-USA
Stantons USEFUL
Yoder x Camero
He certainly is a “useful” bull. Double-digit Type combined with 127kg of Fat will do that. Add Immunity+, Robot Ready and A2A2 status in a moderate size – wide chest package and you have the makings of what should be one of our top demand bulls for the coming months. Useful is being offered in sexed form too!
Maternan Grandam: Vision-Gen SH Sho A12037 VG-87-2YR-YSA 5*
Morsan Farms Ltd., AB
Legend-Maker VICTOR
Kingpin x Liquid Gold
From the Chief Adeen family, Victor provides exceptional Type improvement with double digit ratings for Udders, Feet & Legs and Dairy Strength while providing strong improvement for Rumps as well – in particular lowering and widening pins. Victor is Robot Ready, A2A2 and one of our best for the new Digital Dermatitis trait at 108. We think lots of people will be adding him to their mating list.
