This month in Holstein International

Genomic sires

With no less than 47 promising young Holsteins from 38 different breeding programs worldwide, together they provide a unique overview: the world's most popular genomic bulls.

 

Germany

Germany was one of the first countries with a total index that included fitness traits. In this HI you will find all of the background to the German RZG and the new index RZFit.

 

Dabble

The family of Ronelee Outside Dabble from the US state of Washington is extremely popular. Take a look at the high genomic bull Domain. And the high debuting proven bull Durable RC.

 

Carmano

The darling of Germany's red & white breeders; that's how one could describe Carmano. With his second crop, the Cadon son confirms his outstanding type and sound fitness figures.

 

PEI

The 1.25 million dollar cow, Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy, has her roots in Prince Edward Island. And it turns out that more show toppers originate from the Canadian Island too.
