Diverse, Balanced Sires Impact Profit
Sire Summary is a perfect time to reflect on the advancements our industry has made! Some will remember where we’ve been, while others envision where we will go. The truth is: dairying has evolved, and most of it is due to technology and automation utilization, genetic progress, and on-farm management practice changes.
Additionally, there are notable industry changes, including a rising average herd size and a gene pool that is now more safeguarded than ever. A current shift in how farmers get paid for their milk has also occurred, increasing the demand for protein. Finally, improved fertility continues to be a need for producers globally, because a pregnancy is the one of most important events that occurs on a dairy.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SUCCESS
Because of these changes, plus the adoption of a sexed and beef strategy, new tool development, and index formulation updates, several years ago we made the decision to adjust how we create genetics. We specifically wanted to balance the scale with Protein because of the significant improvements made in Fat, leading us to adapt an ABS internal selection index to better serve our customers.
Our focus is not on what the industry deems as ‘ideal’ but in helping dairies create the right cows for their system: healthy, long-lasting, productive cows that aren’t too thin, dairy, tall, small, or narrow. We aim to create diverse, balanced sires that are strong for fertility, health, and milk and help our customers PROFIT FROM GENETIC PROGRESS
BALANCED SIRES:
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND WHY DOES IT
MATTER?
For a quick English lesson, let’s review what balanced means: having good or equal amounts of all the necessary parts of something. This perfectly depicts what a balanced bull is. They transmit well for all the key profit traits and are very easy to use on a dairy.
What are your greatest needs as a dairy producer? When asked this, you might think of things like:
» Milk
» Protein
» Fertility
» Conception Rate
» Productive Life
» Somatic Cell Score
We agree with you and suggest deploying balanced sires in your herd. Why? Because the strength of balanced bulls lies in their ability to positively impact many key traits to dairies—improving profitability, efficiency, and sustainability
simultaneously. Chasing extremes in only one area can have detrimental implications elsewhere, which is why we recommend diverse, balanced sires They drive genetic progress, efficiency, and profit without the fear of setbacks.
Balanced sires are real all-arounder bulls with lots of strengths and very few weaknesses.
BALANCED SIRES THAT WILL DRIVE VALUE
» In the current ABS lineup, consider 29HO22124 BARNES, 29HO21723 MILWAUKEE, 29HO21810 PALOMA, and new graduate 94HO21962 BLISS.

PRODUCTIVE LIFE: GREAT STRENGTH
It is no secret that ABS has had historical strength in Productive Life (PL). Think of ABS greats like KED OUTSIDE
JEEVES, the “Productive Life King,” or you may recall DIE HARD. These famous PL greats had high customer satisfaction because regardless of geography, dairy producers love to watch cows grow to be old cows. Seeing long-lasting, productive cows brings a smile to their face. Productive Life is vital to a dairy, affecting many key areas of an operation like culling rate, milk production, replacement rate, beef cross production, operational efficiency, emissions intensity, and sustainability
Positive impacts of Productive Life are:
» Delayed culling
» Lower expenses
» More milk
» Smaller number of replacements needed
» Increased beef cross production
» Increased genetic progress
» More selection intensity for replacements
» More revenue
Who will create more Combined Fat and Protein in a typical 33% cull rate herd?
A high production bull with +150 CFP OR
A balanced bull with +110 CFP but +1 PL higher
PRODUCTIVE LIFE STARS OF THIS GENERATION
» 29HO21740 PUZZLE with a +5.9
» 29HO22166 VICTORY with a +5.6 (a new graduate)
» 29HO21938 HIGHLIFE-P with a +5.6
» 29HO21951 BREVITY with a +5.4
» 29HO21641 MYSTERY with a 5.4
Older cows produce more milk and reduce the need for more replacements, opening up more pregnancies to be used in beef cross production and generating increased profit all around.
TOOLS TO ASSESS YOUR HERD’S PRODUCTIVE EFFICIENCY
As mentioned above, one of the most important events on a dairy is a cow getting pregnant, making reproduction efficiency vital. Each animal that remains open after a pregnancy check means more time until that animal starts another lactation, more labor to get her pregnant during the next service, and more investment in resources needed to get her pregnant. There are two tools you can use to evaluate reproduction: Cow Conception Rate (CCR) and Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR).
CCR is the percentage of inseminated cows that become pregnant at each service and is shown as the difference from the average conception rate of the base population. For example, a bull with a CCR value of 1 implies that the conception rate for his daughters is estimated to be 1% higher during the lactation than for daughters of a bull with an evaluation of 0. If you breed 100 cows, one point on conception rate means one more confirmed pregnancy, which represents an animal who has crossed a key milestone to punch her ticket to the next lactation
DPR is defined as the percentage of cows that become pregnant every 21 days compared to the average pregnancy rate of the base population. The trait’s equation assumes a 50-day voluntary waiting period. A DPR of 1 on a bull’s proof tells us that daughters from him will average 4 fewer days open in their lactation. One day open can cost anywhere from $2 to $6, so a point of DPR is valued between $8- $24 per daughter per lactation in cost savings.

KEY INFLUENTIAL SIRES
We launched 36 new Holstein graduates that are sired by 22 different sires and from 18 different MGS—showing our commitment to genetic diversity. These bulls add new strengths to our lineup.
29HO20684 LEEDS added 63 new milking daughters and now has 104 daughters milking and ranks as No 6 NM Proven bull in the breed. Just as in August, he remains everything he has always been—elite production, CFP, and Productive Life—and the highest proven NM$ bull at ABS. His 41 sons available today average $925 NM with +1406lbs Milk!
KEY INFLUENTIAL SIRES (CONTINUED)
December saw a new dawn of different bloodlines entering the lineup.
» 29HO21543 CATAPULT added 4 new sons to take his total in the lineup to 17
» 29HO21541 LODI added his first released sons with 5 new launches bred from 4 MGS, all of which rank inside the top 20 TPI bulls available at ABS.
We launched 5 new graduates for Jerseys, and all are ready to produce Sexcel semen. These bulls average 176 JPI and $600 CM with 29JE04612 MIDVALE ranking in the top 10 CM$ bulls in the industry. Our Jersey pipeline is also flying with 9 of the top 10 JPI bulls in the breed any age calling ABS home; expect to see these exciting new bulls in the lineup in the coming months!
As we turn the page on another Sire Summary, it is clear that regardless of where you are in the world, ABS has the right genetics, tools, programs, and people to help you profit from genetic progress. We want to help you create a genetic plan that is tailored to your herd, maximizes your milk check by focusing on your market, and minimizes your daily challenges by helping you improve weaknesses.

Finding the Right Genetics Has Never Been Easier!
Life is busy. From taking care of cows to family responsibilities and everything in between, your time is valuable. Being able to easily sort and select genetics that work in your operation is key in running your business.
At ABS, we understand that! That’s why we continue to improve our online tools, so you can find the right genetics at a click of a button at any time of the day.
Maximize your time when selecting your genetics with Bull
The Power of Polled
Horned cattle are more prevalent in the global dairy population because few producers are choosing to select genetics for polled cattle. Genetic selection for production, health, and conformation traits have historically trumped the selection of polled genetics. It was kind of one or the other—but not anymore!
Times are changing as the desire to create polled cattle increases. Public awareness of dehorning practices is a main driver in recent polled genetic selections. Naturally hornless cattle appeal to off-farm consumers from an animal welfare perspective, but as a producer, eliminating dehorning promotes calf welfare, reduces management practices, and increases safety for those working on dairies.
POLLED: THE DOMINANT GENE
Most do not realize the polled gene is dominant. In simple terms, animals with one copy of the polled gene and one copy of the horned gene will not have horns. The illustration below demonstrates the breeding outcomes of using homozygous or heterozygous polled bulls. It is important to note that if you are working towards a polled herd, you can use a heterozygous polled (Pp) sire with 50% of the resulting calves being polled. You can also use a homozygous polled (PP) sire, resulting in 100% of the calves being polled. This means you can create a naturally hornless animal in one generation. Because the polled gene is dominant, this allows us to create polled animals faster than if the gene were recessive.
PHENOTYPES & GENOTYPES KEY
HORNED
PP = True Polled (Homozygous)
Animal has no horns and all offspring will be born without horns. Pp = Polled (Heterozygous)
Animal does not have horns, but offspring may or may not have horns depending on their mate.
pp = Horned (Recessive)
Animal will be born with horns.

ST. JACOBS
TYPE WITHOUT COMPROMISE OF KEY DAIRY
TRAITS
The St. Jacobs brand has a long-standing history of bringing bulls to the marketplace that will not only sire beautiful cows but cows that are very productive and fertile. The goal of the St. Jacobs brand is to create cows that last longer, are more profitable, and of course, just good to look at!
We invest in the most elite genetics in all ABS programs to give our customers the best opportunity to build cows that fit the needs of their system. St. Jacobs is no exception. Take a moment to get to know each of the programs within the St. Jacobs brand.
LINEAR CHOICE
The St. Jacobs brand should no longer be considered as genetics only suitable for the showring. Knowing some of our customers are looking for balanced cows, we launched Linear Choice. These sires are selected strategically based on their ability to create balanced cows that work in commercial dairies. These sires are proven to produce dairy cows that are well-built, productive, and healthy. This lineup includes sires featuring right side linear that will generate moderate size cows with strong production and health traits. Form meets function with Linear Choice!
ST. JACOBS CHOICE
Trust in St. Jacobs Choice to deliver type without compromise. St. Jacobs Choice was born after the fusion of Judge’s Choice and Breeder’s Choice. Those of you may remember that Judge’s Choice is how St. Jacobs got started with a primary focus on show type animals. Over time, selection began to focus on great functional type but with better production and health traits, thus, Breeder’s Choice evolved. The combination of two foundational lineups in one program is your opportunity to create functional cows who you’ll love to look at
RED AND WHITE CHOICE
Our Red and White Choice program is stacked with sires tracing back to the most elite Red and White cow families in the breed. Similar to St. Jacobs Choice, Red and White Choice sires are also selected for more production and health traits along with type to make outstanding and productive cows. With this program, we mix the best of today’s Black and White genetics into the Red and White population. However, all sires in the lineup will be Red and White.
JERSEY CHOICE
Jersey Choice is your opportunity to use some of the most elite Jersey genetics. Similar to St. Jacobs Choice, Jersey Choice strives to deliver type without compromise. This lineup is focused on providing for those customers interested in creating high type Jersey animals. Our Jersey Choice lineup includes sires that offer balanced genetics with production and health to go along with genomic type, specifically high Jersey Udder Index numbers.
COMPONENT COLLECTION
Component Collection includes sires from the Brown Swiss, Ayrshire, and Guernsey breeds. Much like the rest of the St. Jacobs product offerings, these sires are selected from their respective breed’s most elite genetic lines. It is important to note that the Component Collection program is not a program you can enroll in.

Beef InFocus®
PROVEN DAIRY PERFORMANCE WITH BEEF SUPPLY CHAIN MARKETABILITY
Today, we see more beef cross calves created than ever before as dairies zero in on their genetic selection and turn up their selection intensity. Utilizing beef sires on lower genetic quality females has been a game changer for the industry and is now a widely adopted management strategy. As a result, the beef supply chain is seeing more beef cross calves entering the market than ever before.
With so many beef cross calves now entering the marketplace, feeders and packers are increasingly focused on securing only high-quality, predictable animals for their systems. Yet there remains significant variation in the quality of these calves. This variation is driving the beef supply chain to place even more emphasis on separating truly superior beef cross cattle from average beef-on-dairy genetics. Because the supply chain rewards top tier cattle, the need to differentiate your dairy by producing a premium product is greater than ever as competition intensifies.
Beef InFocus is your ticket to producing a premium beef cross animal, and the beef supply chain is recognizing that.
THREE DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS OF BEEF INFOCUS
1. BRED BY DESIGN
Beef InFocus® is powered by ABS Global’s exclusive terminal beef genetic line, NuEra Genetics®, which is a SimAngus hybrid line designed as an ideal terminal solution that maximizes productivity, efficiency, and sustainability while complementing the dairy cow.
2. VALIDATED FOR DAIRY PERFORMANCE
Before any sire makes it to our Beef InFocus lineup, we measure their predicted performance compared to more than 4 million fertility records on over 1,000 farms and 1.6 million calving events to ensure they meet our program thresholds.
3. BEEF SUPPLY CHAIN MARKETABILITY
With a strong emphasis on terminal traits in our genetics, we have established beef supply chain networks that recognize the value of Beef InFocus and the investment we have made creating the highest quality beef crosses the market has to offer.
Maximize returns by creating the highest-quality beef cross calves the market has to offer with Beef InFocus.
To enter the Beef InFocus program, sires must be identified as the best terminal genetics by our NuEra Profit Index and complete rigorous testing to validate their performance on dairy. We’ve added a step to determine the best use of each sire, which includes a phenotypic evaluation of frame and muscle score. Based on this evaluation, sires that best complement the Jersey and Jersey-influenced population are identified with the notation "recommended for Jersey."
