DIVERSITY EQUALS STRENGTH

Diversity may imply variety, but it’s important to understand that ABS Global also has an extremely powerful and superior lineup when it comes to the caliber of our genetic offerings. The April 2024 National Genetic Evaluation demonstrated one of ABS’s strongest suits—diversity. We continue to offer genetics that fit a number of dairies and different markets across many nations.

The advantage ABS has in comparison to others in the industry is directly tied to our diversity of bloodlines. Why should this matter to dairy producers? The challenge in today’s environment for some is the sheer number of related sires that are marketed and the breeding limitations that could pose for dairy producers. This was evident in the April 2024 sire summary. The diversity of ABS bloodlines gives producers options in terms of genetic selection when it comes to breeding. Having a portfolio of genetics that exhibits strength, steadiness, and diversity is our focus as we strive to offer our customers the best genetics to help them reach their goals and be profitable.

HIGHPOINTS FOR OUR HOLSTEIN SIRES

In general, our Holstein sires experienced increases this sire summary, especially for yield traits. We were excited to see the positive day 29HO19773 DUFFY had because of his strong influence among ABS genetics. His sons are becoming great sires, and his daughters have also now produced sires. DUFFY held his ground and improved this sire summary and is up +42NM$

Another sire we paid close attention to was 29HO19625 LAKER as he is the sire of 29HO20684 LEEDS. LEEDS is quite possibly the best bull of his age in recent times to call ABS home and was up +28 NM$. LAKER increased by +60 NM$ and added a lot of daughter information this sire summary run

Overall, our Holstein sire lineup had a strong showing in this sire summary. Here are a few other Holstein highlights for key historical ABS bloodlines.

» 29HO018906 BILLY: +16 NM$

» 29HO18858 ENTITY: +53 NM$

» 29HO18960 ACURA: +43 NM$

» 29HO18296 ACHIEVER: +6 NM$

» 29HO18693 CRIMSON: +47 NM$

POLLED GENETICS PROVES POWERFUL

ABS continues to dominate within the polled genetics space. We believe that polled is already playing a significant role in dairy genetics and will well into the future due to their benefits which include lowering costs, saving producers time by eliminating a task no one loves to do, encouraging better animal welfare, and alignment with sustainability initiatives. Our proven polled sire lineup had a solid sire summary with 29HO19071 MONUMENT-P up +83 NM$ and 29HO19518 MENDEL-P up +5 NM$

HIT THE JACKPOT WITH OUR JERSEY SIRES

It was another great day for our Jersey sires. ABS continues to have an increasingly strong lineup that performed well this sire summary. Of sires with a stud code, ABS has 5 of the top 10 CM$ sires, 16 of the top 30, and 31 of the top 50. ABS is home to 6 of the top 10 JPI sires with a stud code, 16 of the top 30 and 26 of the top 50. We are excited for the future of this sire lineup!

» 9 sires over 191 JPI

» 7 sires over 840 CM$

» 13 sires over 135 CFP

» 5 sires over +6.9 PL

» 6 over 1.0 DPR

New releases to our Jersey lineup include 29JE4520 SCORE-P who is a high Cheese Merit (863) and PL (7.4) polled COLONEL son and 29JE4488 JX TIKTOK {6} who is an outcross VJ Gutz high-ranking CM$ son at +843.

A STRONG ST. JACOBS SIRE SUMMARY

St. Jacobs had a fantastic sire summary, and our top-type bulls had a really good day. 94HO19766 FITTERS CHOICE is the number one daughter-proven PTAT bull in the world at 3.84. 94HO21435 BELIEVER is the number one Udder Composite bull in the world at 3.70. 94HO19526 DREAMBIG was up 29 points to 2820 GTPI

Our Linear Choice sires all have balanced proofs with production, type, and health that make them useable in markets all around the world. Here is how they performed this sire summary.

» Of the 26 bulls producing semen, half of the sires are over 100 Fat

» 8 sires are over 60 Protein

» 9 sires are over 3000 GTPI

More to come on our newly released Linear Choice sires: 94HO21601 DANSBY, 94HO21661 PLAYBOOK, AND 94HO21602 DEERPARK. Check out our Blog!

HEALTH, FERTILITY, AND PRODUCTION WITH NORWEGIAN RED

The Norwegian Red breed is known for superior health and fitness traits. According to Lane Hischke, Genetic Services Specialist, our Norwegian Red lineup will bring the production and functionality needed to take any crossbreeding program to the next level.

» 252NR12114 HAGEMOEN-P received his first daughter proof this period and increased 15 pounds of CFP, mostly driven by milk volume

» HAGEMOEN-P’S increase in production also helped his son, 252NR12297 MURI-P, whose proof increased CFP by 19 pounds

» Active lineup from last proof held steady for production, health, and udder conformation

The diversity of ABS bloodlines offers our customer variety when it comes to their genetic selection and their operational goals.

AVERAGE NM$ BY STUD AND BULL RELEASE YEAR HOLSTEIN AVERAGE

» The chart is the genetic trend for NM$ by bull class

• The current 2024 includes bulls coded with a release date or listed as G status (with no prior semen release date)

» While the ABS group does maintain the highest weighted average across the 3 years, the 2024 ABS group becomes even more impressive when you consider that 29% are PP bulls

• These breed-leading new PP bulls average $1048 NM

• When only the non-PP bulls of at least a year of age are included for each stud, ABS leads the 2024 class with an average of $1184 NM$

» It takes 100s of bulls to supply genetics to our customers and those in the top 100 can only supply a small portion, which is why it is important to look at the group as a whole.

» Although we illustrate in NM$, we believe that customers should have a genetic plan that matches their goals

» The chart is the genetic trend for CM$ by bull class

• The current 2024 includes bulls coded with a release date or listed as G status (with no prior semen release date)

» It takes many Jersey bulls to supply genetics to our customers and those in the top 40 can only supply a small portion, which is why it is important to look at the whole group.

» The average of the group of bulls we market leads the industry!

» Although we illustrate in CM$, we believe that customers should have a genetic plan that matches their goals

For ABS, 29HO and 29JE stud code U.S. based bulls were used for the averages, the STJ product line was not included

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

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.

DAIRY POLLED SIRES

ABS IS THE ONLY STUD THAT CAN OFFER A FULLY POLLED HERD SOLUTION

» ABS markets 28 -PP bulls over 920 NM$

» No other stud markets more than 3 over 920 NM$

» 18 of the top 20 -PP bulls call ABS home; all over 960 NM$

» 17 industry-marketed -P bulls are over 1125 NM$; 14 are at ABS!

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 with balanced genetics that have some 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, Ayshire, 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.

CROSSBREEDING WITH NORWEGIAN RED

THE BREED KNOWN FOR SUPERIOR HEALTH AND FITNESS TRAITS

Crossbreeding is all about creating the kind of problem-free herd you want and need. Utilizing a crossbreeding solution gives you the opportunity to design cows that fit your system, your environment, and your nutrition. At ABS we work with our genetic partners to use crossbreeding as a tool to create cows customized for your system. Two-breed rotational cross, three-breed rotational cross, and terminal crossing are all options that fit different management systems.

THE BENEFITS OF DAIRY CROSSBREEDING

» Breed complementarity or take advantage of the superior traits within various breeds

» Heterosis or Hybrid Vigor or the “free benefit” of crossbreeding that enhances performance, particularly fertility and health traits

» Improve your herd faster through significant breed differences and a larger genetic pool

USE NORWEGIAN RED IN YOUR CROSSBREEDING PROGRAM

The Norwegian Red breed is known for superior health and fitness traits. Because of this, the females tend to have less difficulty calving, breed back easily, and are medium-sized, trouble-free cows that work well in commercial dairies. In other words, the Norwegian Red breed encompasses the attributes that dairies need to become more profitable by lowering input costs without sacrificing production.

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 the selection intensity. Utilizing beef sires on lower genetic quality females has been a game changer for the industry. It is the common genetic management strategy. However, this means the beef supply chain sees more beef cross calves enter the market than ever before.

As a result, feeders and packers are looking for high-quality and predictable beef animals to put in their systems. The fact is there is still a vast variation in the quality of beef cross calves in the marketplace today. This means the beef supply will continue to put increased pressure on separating superior beef cross cattle from genetic beef on dairy. Because the beef supply chain is compensating high-end beef cross cattle the need to differentiate your dairy by producing a premium product is far greater as market competition increases.

Beef InFocus is your ticket to producing a premium beef cross animal, and the beef supply chain is recognizing that.

1. BRED BY DESIGN

THREE DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS OF BEEF INFOCUS

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.

BEEF INFOCUS® LINEUP

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 performance on dairy. Today, we’ve added a step to determine the best use of each sire which is a phenotypic evaluation of frame and muscle score

Based on this evaluation, sires who best complement the Jersey and Jersey-influenced population are identified with the notation of recommended for Jersey.

Beef InFocus genetics are available in heterospermic packs (Platinum, Gold, and Silver) that contain multiple bulls with similar elite index values. These heterospermic packs are designed to maximize terminal profitability and conception rates.
