Delivering the Results on UK Farms
Following the April proof run, AOT HAMPSHIRE retains his No.1 position for Type Merit on the UK available genomic bulls list, sitting at 3.04TM with Mystique ANIMATION at 2.91TM taking 2nd place. Debuting at No.5, on the UK available genomic PLI rankings, is new entrant, Progenesis PRESTON at £848, 950Kgs Milk and 94.5Kgs CFP and positive F% & P% deviation. Together with an Immunity score of 106 and Methane Efficiency Score of 105, PRESTON is a welcome addition to the Semex stud.
Westcoast RIVER once again firmly cemented his position on the proven bull rankings for PLI at £703. His immunity + status, PLI, production and functional type traits not only make him a familiar name in the proven sire rankings but also a reliable proven sire to have in the Semex line up.
Owain Harries, General Manager, Semex UK says, “With three of the top 10 proven bulls on the UK rankings for Type Merit, two in the top ten for PLI and four in the top ten for Mammary score, the Semex stud is clearly consistently delivering on UK farms under UK conditions.”
No longer available but maintaining his high ranking for PLI is 3 Star OH RANGER RED. He continues to leave a lasting legacy through his sons who have all benefitted from an increase in UK Type, Legs & Feet and Milking Speed. Owain continues, “Mystique ANIMATION, an Immunity+ bull, is just one of RANGER RED’s sons who is fulfilling UK farmer criteria, with his impressive type, production and high health traits. The Ranger Red Effect is real with many of his sons also boasting impressive Immunity scores.”
Joining the stud is Adaway Beyond FAITHFUL, PLI £816 and Jacobs SHAKE IT, who makes his entrance with a UKTM of 2.52. Other new bulls include Progenesis DINABEAST and Westcoast HOPS, both Immunity+ sires with impressive Methane Efficiency scores of 108 and 112 respectively.
Owain concludes, “The April proofs have returned a huge choice of Semex bulls for UK farmers, many with daughters delivering on UK farms.
