BIO-Genics, LLC Suggestions for Success

Each straw of semen marketed by BIO-Genics, LLC has been carefully processed in our own laboratory. Our laboratory procedures ensure the highest quality and product control. Each sample taken has been carefully analyzed and rated for its viability. Strict minimum standards must be met before any product is released to a customer. All semen made available to you in this catalog has been 100% maintained by BIO-Genics, LLC to insure its quality when it is added to your private inventory. Because of these safeguards, you can be sure that each straw of semen purchased is of the best quality.

The handling of your semen inventory plays a critical role in its ability to impregnate your AI candidate. Most importantly, you want to be sure that you handle it properly each and every time you open the lid of your nitrogen tank. When searching for a desired cane in your tank, the full cane should be kept well below the frost line in its neck. Search for the treasure with a flashlight, not with natural light. The desired straw of semen should be removed from its goblet and the cane lowered to well below the frost line in under three seconds. This strict time constraint is necessary to be confident that the viability of the other straws on the cane have not been compromised. Once removed from the goblet, the straw should be shaken slightly to remove any liquid nitrogen that might be clinging to its interior or exterior surfaces. It is also advised to hold the straw in your hand for a few seconds before introducing it to the thaw unit. (If this is not done, you risk the straw exploding when it is submerged in the warm water.) You can then transfer the selected straw to a 95˚F/35˚C thaw unit. Do this quickly in order to protect your semen’s viability. It should remain in the thaw unit for at least 40 seconds before being removed for use. Do not allow your water bath to draw below 92˚F’/33˚C or go above 98˚F/37˚C. If you let your water bath get too cool, you are compromising sperm recovery. If you let it get too hot, you may “cook” the semen, also reducing the number of live cells available for work per insemination.

After properly thawing the semen, you have a maximum of 15 minutes to deposit the semen in your does reproductive tract for an optimal conception rate. The longer the semen remains in the straw, the greater the loss of viability.

Artificial insemination is a powerful tool that gives you the ability to increase the rate of genetic improvement within your herd. Although AI is a great tool, it requires proper technique and attention to detail for a high level of success. With good heat detection, records and proper semen handling, BIO-Genics, LLC’s quality semen and supplies will provide you with the tools to be a consistently successful AI Technician.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our Argento daughters. His kids show improvement in dairy strength, strength of pasterns, and front end assemblies. His first milking daughters have very capacious well attached udders, and are very heavy milkers. We are also seeing improved components over their dams. Before coming to live with us, he produced several daughters in the Kara-Kahl herd that placed in the Top 10 at the 2017 ADGA National Show.

- Patricia Spurgeon

We are excited to have had the opportunity to add Straight Up to our breeding program. He combines all the style, milk and strength we had been looking for. He is a beautiful broken Sundgua and throws lots of splashy kids. He is long, tall and very uphill. His first two milking daughters have exceptional mammary systems and we are looking forward to seeing them mature. His kids standout for their exceptional dairy strength and general appearance.

Bellissimo was added to the herd because he is an Alpha S1 “B” carrier. But honestly even if he wasn’t, how could you go wrong with a pedigree like this. We are very happy with Bellissimo’s offspring. They have very good type with level toplines, and good feet and legs. His first daughters have freshened with well attached mammary systems they show improvements in strength of medial suspensory ligament, height and width of rear udders and smoothness and blending of the fore udder. Cheese makers here you go, production, correctness, longevity, and increased components all rolled into one beautiful buck. Pictures courtesy of Tempo Dairy Goats. www.ruhigestelle.com

Breed: Nigerian Dwarf ADGA #: D2135755 DOB: 2/27/2020

Caruso is the result of an AI breeding (with the hope of getting a buck) from the phenomenal cross of ++*B SG Old Mountain Farm Cernunnos x SGCH Camanna GD Moonlight Opera 3*M 07-03 VEEE 91. Cernunnos needs little introduction, having been on the elite sire list for multiple years, and his daughters have done big things, including 2018 ADGA National Nigerian Dwarf Best Udder (SGCH Old Mountain Farm Sunday Drive 3*M). Caruso’s dam, Opera, derives from an exceptionally consistent dam line - SGCH Camanna CS Moonlight Sonata 2*M 08-02 EEEE 91 - that is well-known in the Northwest. Caruso’s three older full sisters have been very accomplished in the show ring, linear appraisal, and milk test. Caruso is our herd’s first contribution to ADGA’s Young Sire Development Program. Caruso’s kids thus far all have consistently impressive general appearance and structural correctness, and we expect his daughters to have impressive and productive mammaries as well.

Old Mountain Farm Justin Quinn’s breeder, Cheryle Moore-Smith, speaks of Justin’s dam Raimy: “This is another doe that will no doubt prove to be one of the cornerstones of our herd moving into the future. I would easily take a herd full of does like Raimy.” We have long admired Justin’s sire’s full sister, Old Mountain Farm Quinoa VEEE 90. Her lovely top line, length of body, strength of chine, and exceptionally high rear udder height are truly awesome. Both sides of the pedigree are notable for exceptional bone pattern with correct legs and feet. We are looking forward to seeing Justin’s kids!

type. I can’t think of another Nubian buck who has as many Junior Champion daughters throughout the country and in so many herds. He consistently levels toplines, corrects feet, depth of heel, adds length of body and doesn’t hurt in the milk department either. His dam, GCH Regehrs #1 Sparkle Plenty 4*M 4-01 89 (VVEV), who was quite lovely and undefeated as a four year-old was 1st place in her Four Year-Old age class at the 1994 ADGA Nationals and then died that same year. She gave her son her great strength in both her strong topline and length.

Beau has a show history that is pretty amazing. He was the 1995 Yearling All-American and 2000 Reserve All-American Five and Over buck. He finished his Championship as a yearling, and after that was only shown in a few Champion Challenge classes where he was 2xBOB, 2x1st and 1x2nd. At his last show he was Best Buck-In-Show over 93 other bucks. Beau’s progeny has done incredibly well at both local shows and on the national level. Beau first became seriously recognized as a buck of notice when his daughter Manges Colony Grace 4-02 88 (VVEV), was named the ADGA National Junior Champion in 1995. Grace went on to be the 4th place Milking Yearling at the 1996 ADGA Nationals, and as an adult to Linear Appraise 4-02 88 (VVEV). Also at the 1996 ADGA National Show the 1st place Junior Get-Of-Sire was Beau’s. At the 1999 National Show, he sired the 5th place Two Year-Old with 2nd Best Udder, the 12th place Intermediate Kid and the 13th place Senior Yearling. Beau’s spotlight became even brighter and wider in 2002. Being Hill’s Acres herd sire gave him the extra numbers he needed to really show his proof and abilities on a wide variety of gene pools. At the 2002 ADGA National Show, Beau sired the 1st place Four Year-Old Milker with 1st place Udder, GCH Hill’s Acres Beauquet 1*M, the 2nd place Four Year-Old Milker with 3rd place Udder, GCH Hill’s Acres A Beaudacious Gal 1*M 4-03 90 (VVVE), the 19th place Three Year-Old, the 1st place Senior Get-Of-Sire and was named the 2002 ADGA National Show Nubian Premier Sire! Your expectations of Beau can be fairly reliable.

Being an example of longevity, Black Tie’s dam, GCH Goldthwaite My Bonny Love 5*M, 9-07 90 (VEEE) HES 92.5, won the 1999 National Show Production Award while placing 12th in her Aged Doe class. Also in 1999 she was Best-Of-Breed, Best Udder-Of-Breed and Best Doe-In-Show making it the third year in a row that she has been Best Doe-In-Show at the Tri-State Fair in Amarillo, TX. In 1998 she was 5xBest-Of-Breed and 2xBest Doe-InShow, while in 1997 she was Grand Champion, Best Doe-In-Show and Best Udder-In-Show. In 2003, at age nine, she was still awarded the title of Best-Of-Breed - a grand old girl with a lifetime DHIR of 1449 15,160 679 590! Her daughters bear her resemblance exhibiting her strength and structural correctness, general appearance, exceptional dairy character and overall body length.

Black Tie is a growthy, tall and upstanding buck who is sharp and angular. Despite his long bone pattern he has a short pastern with good feet and a correct rear leg set. At his first show he placed 1st in all three rings with nine in his class. He went on to win Grand Champion earning his first leg as a yearling against 15 other senior Nubian bucks!

One of his daughters, GCH Riven Oak Mazie’s Rebo 3*M 7-03 91 (VEEE), was 4th place with 3rd Udder Four Year-Old at the 2010 ADGA National Show. Other daughters include: GCH Riven Oak Mazi’s Rapadou 3*M 4-03 90 (VEEE); and SGCH Hill’s Acres Charming Effects 3*M 1-03 Ec (EEE) was Junior Champion, earning her dry leg at her first show in 2002 and then went on to place fifth at the 2002 ADGA National Show in her large Senior Yearling class, as well as 5th place Five & Six Year-Old at the 2006 ADGA National Show. All of his kids exhibit improved dairy character, with flat yet strong bone and excellent width between the ribs. He has improved breed character in both head and ear on all of his kids to date. His daughters are freshening with show quality udders that are well attached and capacious. - Teresa Wade

DKGH Rock It Scientist (we call him Si) is long, tall, level, wide rumped and very correct. He comes from a line of outstanding mammaries. He is a son of the very popular SGCH DKGH Playboy’s Rock It EX91 EEE and closely resembles him in general appearance. Si’s dam is SGCH DKGH Cid’s Emmy Eva EX92 EEEE. Eva excels in general appearance with her impressive front end assembly, strong back, wide rump and correct feet and legs. She was an incredibly deep bodied doe with a strongly attached and productive mammary. Eva left a tremendous legacy in our herd through Si and many wonderful daughters.

Si is a repeat of the mating that created our beautiful SGCH DKGH Rockin’ Eve EX92 EEEE @ 3-04 and 2019 ADGA National show 2nd place/1st udder 4yr old, 2017 2nd place 2yr old and 2018 INBA All American 3yr old. This breeding has been so consistent, with other full sisters including SGCH DKGH Rock It Ellie EX90 VVEE 2yr, and our 2015 Colorama Sale doeling DKGH Rock It Eliza. Si qualified for the ADGA Young Sire Development program, and we are very pleased with his early daughters. His first daughters already show an improvement in width and levelness of rump with wide escutcheons, increased length with excellent dairy strength, as well as Si’s beautiful breed character. His fresh daughters have well attached mammaries and are milking well.

Si earned his permanent championship this year as a 2yr old going 3x GCH in his only show and 2x Best Buck in Show. Based on the mammaries of his dam and full sisters, as well as a few young daughters, we expect Si to sire plenty of height and width of rear udder with strong attachments and the fantastic udder texture that these does have. - Dan Greene – Greenehaven Farms

His dam, Splash, is extremely well balanced with a flawless mammary system. His sire, Roman Candle, has produced some of our favorite does in the beautiful Ober-Boerd herd. We couldn’t be more excited about the combination of genetics that he brings to us. Many thanks to the Ober-Boerd herd for breeding such a fine buck and sending him here to live with us.

Winchester combines the best of our high producing show does. His dam, GCH des Ruhigestelle Winner 1*M, 6-05 91 (EEEE), was the 1993 Canadian National Champion and Best Udder-In-Show; she was also the 2nd place Four Year-Old with Reserve Best Udder and received the High Milk and Fat Awards at the 1994 ADGA National Show. At the 1995 ADGA National Show she was the 2nd place Aged Doe with 2nd place Udder. Also in 1995, Winner was Top Ten with 5-01 305 3673 139 96. She has been 6xGCH, 9xBOB and 3xBDIS. Winner has been appraised three times scoring two times FS 91 and one time FS 90.

His grandam, on his sire’s side, GCH Nu-Tog-A-Saan Leah Anne 2*M 9-03 91 (EEEE), was the 1st place Four Year-Old with 1st place Udder at the 1994 ADGA National Show, and is the full sister to ++*B Nu-Tog-A-Saan Leapold 6-02 90 (EEE). We expect him to produce stylish, slow maturing, strong uddered does with long, even lactations. Use him to improve front ends, toplines and rear udder height.

SAANEN SIRES

Casimir is 15 times linebred on some of the best of GCH ++*B Perfection Snolan. The perfect teat placement, high, wide rear udder, smooth fore udder and medial suspensory ligament of Casimir’s dam, GCH Lake Country Sunrise Cabernet 8*M 7-05 92 (EEEE), make her mammary exceptional. I expect that this young buck will help Saanen udders. The butterfat is high in the line and could help the solids in milk production of Saanens.

His sire, *B Lake Country Opus Satin Touch 3-04 87 (VVE), is the full brother to GCH Lake Country Opus Satinique 10*M 5-06 93 (EEEE), one of the finest animals I have ever bred. She was the 1st place Two Year-Old and the 1st place Udder at the 1998 ADGA National Show. His sire’s dam, Lake Country Xcitable Satinique 9*M, was the 1st place Produce-Of-Dam at the 1998 National Show. This breeding is classic Lake Country, there is really good consistency in the line and should work well with a diverse gene pool. Casimir’s daughter, SG Klisse’s LCSC IntegrityOfHope 5*M, was 16th place at the 2005 ADGA Nationals in the ridiculously large Two Year-Old class and was the 4th place Senior Kid at the 2003 ADGA Nationals; Klisse’s LCSC Magic Of Hope 2-06 87 (VVEV) and Klisse’s LCSC Mirage Of Hope 2-06 88 (VEVV), have gone Reserve Junior Champion several times each. Another daughter, Klisse’s LCSC Honor Of Hope linear appraised 0-05 V (+EE). Daughter, Willow Lane Cassie 1-01 161 870 3.6 31 3.0 26, was shown three times in 2002 and was 3x1st, 1xGrand Champion and 1xBest Junior

SAVANNAH SIRES

Beckstead Farm’s BF Cooper

Beckstead Farms’ BF Cooper

Savannahs are premier meat goats; they produce delicious, mild-tasting meat and lots of it. They are similar to their Boer cousins in all but coloring, Savannahs are hardier, making them ideal for low maintenance operations and for crossing with Boers or other meat and dairy breeds to increase hardiness and meatiness in their offspring. Savannah bucks are aggressive breeders and the does, peerless mothers; Savannah does are protective, fertile, kid with ease, with two to four kids common per litter.

Cooper is strong, solid, and hardy with Keri Rose genetics. He throws kids that gain quickly with low input and maintenance. He would make a great addition to any herd looking to improve the meat production and mothering qualities of their does.

T0681898

Friday was tall, extremely dairy and long bodied buck with a tremendous head. He was a slow maturing buck, but when he hit four, he really came into himself. He has been many times the Champion of the day, and is an 8xBest-In-Show winner. In 2004 alone, the two times he was shown, he was Best-Of-Breed both times.

Friday’s sire, *B Dairy Delight Charlie William, has done more to advance the Continental herd of any buck they have had. He has sired Continental Chosen One (EX90), the 1997 National Reserve Best Udder Freedom (EX90) and Karla (VG88) who was 1st place as a Two and Three Year-Old at the 1997 and 1998 ADGA National Shows. His Jr Get in 1998 was 1st and his Sr Get-Of-Sire in 1997 was the 2nd at the Nationals. His kids are sharp and dairy with smooth blending; they are open and flat-boned; udders are high and wide with a lot of lateral support.

Friday’s dam, GCH Tanswy Hill Advantage Flair 3*M 7-05 90 (VEEV), was 1st place Two Year-Old with 1st place Udder at the 1993 National Show. Flair has a strong powerful body with a lot of depth and width throughout. She has a strong topline with an extremely level rump. She has straight forelegs with strong pasterns and good angulation of rear legs. In 1998 she was shown four times being 4xBOB and 2xBDIS. Her littermate sister Tansy Hill Finesse scored

Ringleader was an anxiously awaited addition. We were looking for good buck that would increase production and components. What we got was a “Great” buck. He not only increases components and daily production. His daughters milk a nice flat lactation curve and handle extended lactations with ease. He consistently improves length of bone, and correctness of feet and legs. His daughters have beautiful long necks, long uphill toplines, and capacious well attached mammary systems. We can hardly wait to get some of these girls into the showring. Until then they will continue to be hard working girls that are a joy to look at every day in the parlor. If you love making cheese and showing beautiful productive does Ringleader is the buck to use. All Pictures courtesy of Legendairy Toggenburgs www.karakarlfarm.com

The breeding program of Goat Improvement Company delivers genetics that are ready for the future!

We achieve this through our five focus areas:

Balanced breeding

Within the breeding program the emphasis is on genetic progress based on a “Balanced Breeding” strategy. We select on the following characteristics: health and longevity, exterior, milk quality, milk production and percentages. All properties are factored into the GIC index. We have deliberately chosen to focus on these characteristics because a balanced progress in precisely these characteristics results in high-quality dairy for the consumer, less environmental impact per kilogram of milk, more animal welfare and a higher operating result for the goat farmer.

Nucleus breeders worldwide

Our top breeders form the core of the breeding program. On their farms, we test the technical breeding performance of bucks/goats under local conditions, select AI bucks and produce high-quality breeding material. Within the nucleus program there is great variation in companies and day-to-day management and the program includes top breeders from no fewer than three continents (Europe, North America and Africa). This allows genetics to be widely tested.

Collaboration with scientist

We analyze the data from the nucleus farms in collaboration with universities. In addition, we are constantly looking together for new innovations with which we can select for even more characteristics and accelerate genetic progress.

Systematic data collection

The breeding program is based on data from more than 25,000 goats that we collect daily on the farms of our top breeders. Due to the variation in the farms and the climatic differences between the different countries where the farms are located, we can test the genetics widely. In addition, this gives us the opportunity to adjust the GIC index to the country; we are therefore the first breeding organization that can adjust the weighting of traits to the country.

Climate

Two important drivers behind the reduction of methane emissions per kg of milk are increasing milk production and reducing young stock. We realize increasing production with our genetics; healthier animals that produce a lot of milk over a long life. Reducing the young stock is only possible with a sustainable herd, but long-term milking also plays an important role in this. The long-term milking of the goats avoids the dry period, reduces the risk of disease and therefore discharge, and fewer kids are born (smaller young stock).

ADGA LINEAR TRAITS “IDEAL POINT RANGES”

In an effort to respond to the questions of ADGA members and dairy goat breeders regarding correct or “ideal” type, the American Dairy Goat Association Type Committee has adopted the following correct type, for the linear traits. The Committee suggests that members needing information regarding correct type use these ranges along with the drawings in ADGA’s Linear Appraisal System Booklet as a resource in evaluating type. Animals fitting within the range of numbers listed for each of individual traits will be considered to be approaching ideal, or are extremely correct in that trait.

How to Interpret the Data

Bio-Genics, LLC is proud to provide our customers with this year’s Sire Directory. You will find this directory to be a wealth of information. We not only feature some of the industry’s most proven sires, but also a wide selection of new bucks to be considered for your breeding program. In many cases bucks appearing in this catalog are Special Sale Bucks, Show Champions, sons of Performance and Production Leaders, sons of National Breed Champions as well as being industry leaders in both production and type traits.

BIO-Genics, LLC is doing their part to help establish and promote those sires who have evidenced genetic superiority and potential by making these bucks available to you. Buck Yield Evaluations and Buck Type Evaluations are included on all bucks when available. This may be a new tool to many of you in the selection of bucks to use. Below is a brief outline of each evaluation and how it can be best used. This enables you to make sound decisions based on statistical data for the genetic improvement of your herd. When using these evaluations it is important to remember that they can only be compared within the breeds, and not between the breeds.

The Sire Summaries compare each buck to a genetic base within a breed. The genetic base is set at zero, which means that approximately half of the bucks were above the genetic base and half were below it at the time it was set. For every production and type trait that is evaluated there is a PTA. Be aware that changes in the PTA values of sires will occur, and may be dramatic, as new daughter information becomes available. If the buck has high PTAs in particular traits, then it means that he is probably genetically superior in those traits. A PTA of zero (at the average for his breed) can be expected to improve that trait in half of his offspring. You should decide whether or not to use a buck based on his PTA. You should decide how heavily to use him based on his Reliability. So, now that we have provided you with all this nifty data, what does it mean?

To help you visualize a sire’s effect on each individual trait, we have included this chart that shows the range of each. Photocopy this chart and use it to mark the sire’s PTAs on the traits that interest you. Once the data is translated through this visual tool, it will be very easy for you to establish the sire’s strengths and weaknesses. This will in turn enable you to make corrective breeding decisions based on the evaluations themselves. We make every effort to help support the Sire Development Programs, and others like it, that make these evaluations available for your use. These programs identify potential genetically superior bucks. Part of our support is accomplished by including in the catalog, young and yet unproven bucks who do not yet have statistical data available on them. Artificial insemination is clearly one of the best tools available to these programs to help progeny-test these young sires. We take great satisfaction in providing you with a quality product from a variety of gene pools. We at BIO-Genics, LLC feel that we should not be the decision maker on what bucks should be available for your use. For this reason, any buck can be listed in our catalog by a consignor. Full details on how to market your buck through BIO-Genics, LLC can be found on the last page of this catalog.
