Primetime’s Genomic information 12/05/23
HOLSim - THE PRIME CHOICE FOR YOUR BEEF ON HOLSTEIN BREEDING PROGRAM • HOLSim sires are SimAngus bulls that are most complementary to Holstein females. • SimAngus bulls combine the strengths of two breeds (Simmental and Angus), giving them an economic advantage and making them the sought-after breed for beef on Holstein breeding programs. • All HOLSim bulls are homozygous black and homozygous polled. • Only elite bulls ranking in the top 98th percentile of the profit and science-based HOLSim Index, like IR-PRIMETIME, are eligible to sire HOLSim calves.

See the Difference at Holstein Marketplace Sires Holstein Marketplace Sires provides a unique avenue for Holstein breeders to market their genetics. Under this program, bull owners retain ownership of the bulls, and Holstein Marketplace Sires coordinates marketing and sales of the bulls’ semen. Through this program, the sire’s breeder retains ownership and directly receives the proceeds from the sale of semen. Launched in January of 2019, this program provides a new choice of bulls offered by breeders, for breeders. The program’s goal is to create more opportunities for Holstein breeders to market semen to fellow breeders. Holstein Marketplace Sires offers something for everyone, including niche-market bulls backed by deep pedigrees. The program also provides a space for breeders to develop generations of bulls, free from restrictive contracts. Contact Holstein Marketplace Sires Manager Tim Ziemba with interest about placing a bull in the Holstein Marketplace Sires program, or with additional questions.
