Genetic Tools

Outcross

Samen has always maintained a strong line up of Outcross sires in order to ensure that New Zealand’s genetic pool remains viable, providing the farm owner with a variety of choices reducing the change of inbreeding.

Calving Ease

Easy calving bulls are suitable for use over smaller cows and two-year-olds.

High Potency

Our New Zealand semen is produced at higher sperm counts than the industry standard per straw.

Sexed

Sexed Semen increases the number of female calves and we have a number of bulls available sexed.

Sexcel

Sexcel® has been created using the most advanced technology available on the market today, combined with suerior fertility and most profitable ABS genetics to help improve product performance.

Gestation Length

Short gestation length can help to tighten your calving season and allows for more days in milk by reducing length of pregnancy.

Polled Genetics

Polled sires possess either one polled gene or two polled genes.

PP (Homozygous) – This animal has no horns, and all offspring are born without horns.

Pp (Heterozygous) – This animal has no horns, but offspring might, depending on their mate.

Dairy Beef

Identify your low performing cows and breed with beef to ensure a high-value beef calf, reduce/remove bobby calves and generate a second income stream.
