Summer 2015 Genomax Offerings

Ginary DODGE

 

Diamond (Snowman x Planet) x Numero Uno x Bolton

If you think using a few doses of new Genomax bulls is risky business, you may not realize the deep, deep pedigrees that these sires often provide. In Dodge’s case we’re talking about eleven generations of well-respected LPI and Conformation specialists. From the most recent Numero Uno, leading back via Bolton, Goldwyn, Allen, Rudolph, Astre, Jethro, Marlin, Fury Alert, Admiral Citation and finally Seiling Rockman, it is a trip down memory lane on how to construct a pedigree that will be widely appreciated. Not surprisingly, the DNA tells us that Dodge will be a strong Type improver (+16) with his DGV Type at 18. Strong components and impressive Health numbers round out his profile. At +3232 LPI, Dodge provides comfort that using the right bulls, generation after generation, can still get you there too!

 

 Bovo BOMBA

Doorman x Super x O Man

An Italian-bred Doorman son, Bomba is expected to deliver fancy udders and lots of Dairy Strength in a surprisingly productive package. He’s not expected to deliver a lot of improvement on Health traits, nor is he recommended for heifers, but if you’d like to make a fancy calf or two, he could really reward you there. He’s notably a rump specialist that widens and lowers pins too. Use a few doses now and don’t be surprised if, in a year, you might like the calves well enough to order more.

Regancrest MILFORD-P

Ohio Style P x Snowman x Shottle

 

A heterozygous polled bull, Milford-P offers a nice mix of Production and Health with solid Type. He’s a sire with Calving Ease and Robot Ready designations and, quite frankly, he’s one of the only sources of polled genes in a +3000 LPI, double-digit Type package. He’s something a little different and if you’re working on increasing the presence of polled genes in your herd, this is certainly one of the best options available.
