The trademarks are divided in two colors: Red and Grey. The red trademarks symbolize the trademarks which the bull inherits, and therefor improve your herd. The

How to read proofs?
PTA = Predicted Transmitting Ability
PTA is the predicted difference between a parent animal’s offspring from average, due to the genes transmitted from that parent. Each PTA is given in the units used to measure the trait. The PTA for milk is reported in pounds or kilograms, the PTA for productive life is reported in months.
PTAM = PTA for Milk production in pounds, reflecting the expected milk production of future mature daughters
PTAF = PTA for butterfat in pounds, reflecting the expected butterfat production of future mature daughters
PTAF % = Indicates the genetic variance of a bull’s PTA for transmitting Fat as being positive or negative
PTAP = PTA for Protein production in pounds, comparing the expected production of future mature
PTAP % = Indicates the genetic variance of a bull’s PTA for transmitting Protein as being positive or negative
PL = Productive Life
PL gives a measure of the amount of “productive” months of additional more or less lifetime you can expect from a bull’s daughters
LIV = Cow Livability, Measure of a cow’s ability to remain alive while in the milking herd.
SCS = Somatic Cell Score
The PTA for SCS is used to improve mastitis resistance. Bulls with low PTA for SCS (less than 3.00) are expected to have daughters with lower mastitis than bulls with high PTA for SCS (greater than 3.50).
DPR = Daughter Pregnancy Rate
DPR is defined as the percentage of cows that become pregnant during each 21-day period. A DPR of ‘1.0’ implies that daughters from this bull are 1% more likely to become pregnant during that estrus cycle than a bull with an evaluation of zero. Each increase of 1% in PTA DPR equals a decrease of 4 days in PTA days open
HCR = Heifer Conception Rate
A virgin heifer’s ability to conceive – defined as the percentage of inseminated heifers that become pregnant at each service. An HCR of 1.0 implies that daughters of this bull are 1% more likely to become pregnant as a heifer than daughters of a bull with an evaluation of 0.0.
CCR = Cow conception rate
A lactating cow’s ability to conceive – defined as the percentage of inseminated cows that become pregnant at each service. A bull’s CCR of 1.0 implies that daughters of this bull are 1% more likely to become pregnant during that lactation than daughters of a bull with an evaluation of 0.0.
BCS = Body Condition Score
BCS reflects the animal’s energy balance status in which research has clearly shown an association with improved female fertility, longevity and disease resistance.
SCE = Sire Calving Ease
The percentage of calving difficulties in first lactation animals. The average percentage difficult births is approximately 2.2%. In general, bulls with an SCE of 2.2% or less are considered “calving ease” bulls that are fine to use on heifers and smaller cows.
DCE = Daughter Calving Ease
Like SCE, DCE is a measurement of the tendency of calves from a particular animal to be born more or less easy (average 2.3%) . Daughters of bulls with high DCE numbers would be expected to have a more difficult time giving birth than daughters of bulls with lower DCE numbers. DCE is evaluated on the same scale as SCE.
SSB = Sire Stillbirth
The percentage of a bull’s offspring that are born dead to first lactation animals.
DSB = Daughter Stillbirth
Stillbirth is expressed as percent stillbirths, where stillborn calves are those scored as dead at birth or born alive but died within 48 hours of birth. The average is 5.3%.
FE = Feed Efficiency
Feed Efficiency is the net profit a farmer receives from an increase in production.
FE = ($0.0008 x PTA Milk) + ($1.55 x PTA Fat) + ($1.73 x PTA Protein) + ($0.11 x Feed Saved)
FI = Fertility Index
The Fertility Index combines several reproductive components (Daughter Pregnancy Rate, Cow Conception Rate, Heifer Conception Rate and Early First Calving) into one overall index: ability to conceive as a maiden heifer, ability to conceive as a lactating cow, and a cow’s overall ability to start cycling again, show heat, conceive, and maintain a pregnancy. FI = (0.7 x DPR) + (0.1 x CCR) + (0.1 x HCR) + (0.1 x EFC)
PTAT = Predicted Transmitting Ability for Type
PTAT is an estimate of the genetic superiority for conformation that a bull will transmit to its offspring. This is directly correlated with the final score of the bull’s daughters, not the linear traits.
UDC = Udder Composite Index
UDC is an index based on ability for udder improvement. Udder composite includes six linear traits, and the weighting for each trait’s contribution to higher udder scores.
FLC = Foot and Leg Composite Index
FLC is a measure of a bull’s ability for foot and leg improvement.
DWP$ = Dairy Wellness Profit Index
DWP$ is a multi-trait selection index which includes production, fertility, type, longevity and the wellness traits, including Polled test results.
MSP = Milking Speed
The value for Milking Speed predicts if a bulls daughter produces faster or slower than average. With publishing the value the following deviation is used:
Behind the value for Milking Speed the base is published: CAN for publication on Canadian base or DEU for publication on German base
Crude Protein = Publication Crude Protein
With publishing the lactation information, always Crude Protein is given (Percentage and quantity).
Daughters by AI TOTAL sires Popeye, Modious, Sniper & Tychip
We are proud on our Daughter Proven Graduated Sires. They have fulfilled their expectations, their top performing daughters are profitable, delivering farmer satisfaction and are the foundation of the future in the herd!
