Interesting trends are documented by a recent analysis in Canada. The sires with the most registered calves in the 4th quarter of 2021 were Fuel (pictured), Speedup-P, King Doc, Ateam, Delta-Lambda and Sidekick. While 60% of all registered calves had a daughter-proven bull for sire, it is interesting to look at the 40% of calves with a genomic sire. Especially this group documents the increasing trend towards sires from the polled and A2A2 segment. 43% of all offspring with a genomic sire were descended from a polled bull. 62% had an A2A2 bull for sire. The polled bulls with the most registrations were Speedup-P, A2P2-PP, Allday-P, Mirand-PP, Adagio-P and Illustrator-P.

With an increase of 91 points, Gotico moved up to the top-5 in Italy in April. This exceptional talent with an outcross sire stack (Geyser-Casper-Solaris-Deman) tracing back to famous Royal-Idevra Eva (Southwind Kaye family) is a true all-rounder. He transmits lots of milk, good milking speed, high fertility, great udder health, long productive life and easy calvings. Though above all, that Intermizoo sire is a gifted udder bull leaving extremely strong udder attachments in combination with good teat placement and teat length.
