It’s becoming harder and harder for bulls to grab headlines based on pleasing performances from actual daughters. The Daughter Proven sire that today gets that opportunity needs to either be a Genomax sire that really delivered (and even then most people ask instead for his sons and grandsons) or excel in a specialist trait that his milking daughters have helped to highlight. Having the Repromax designation helps too! Two such proven sires were added in August that deserve consideration – Sully MUNITION and Geranette LOUIS.
Sully MUNITION – Robust x Planet – Munition is the new #5 TPI sire and brother to popular Milk and udder transmitter, Meridian. Munition delivers lots of Milk as well and even more impressive component yields. He was promoted as a Genomax sire and makes a return to the proof sheet as a bankable money-maker for producers. He delivers exceptional yields, solid Udders and Feet & Legs, pleasing Health and Fertility and is a noted extreme Calving Ability improver. He’s also been tagged a Robot Ready sire and has earned the Repromax designation.
Geranette LOUIS – Lavaman x Bolton – Louis is a rare addition to our Proven list that is truly new. He hadn’t been identified for early marketing as a Genomax sire, so in essence he is a sire that beat the odds by delivering better daughters than his genomic prediction suggested. Louis has also earned the Repromax designation. That he offers a somewhat unique pedigree that traces to the tried and true Laurie Sheik family is yet another reason for considering him. Louis delivers extreme protein percent like his sire Lavaman (Man O Man from Lila Z family) but, with much better overall Conformation. With double digit ratings for Conformation, Mammary, Feet & Legs and Dairy Strength, consider Louis if trend lines for key Type benchmarks are not keeping pace. Louis did it the hard way – he earned the right for your consideration.
