‘Once in a Generation Sire’
highest umber 1 number 1.
Since the inception of artificial breeding only a small number of sires have gained the title of icon or once in a generation sire. These are bulls that have been able dramatically improve a generation, whether it be from a production, type aspect or maybe as a sire of sons. In the 1970’s the Holstein sire that had a massive impact on the breed was Linmack Kriss King. Born in Canada and owned by Milk Marketing Board in England, Linmack was an importance nce iconic per sire. His ability to improve confirmation dramatically and increase components quickly made his impact massive.
size of henInA.I theisrecent August 2017 TPI proofs it became evident that Mountfield SSI DCY Mogul was also a icon sire. This was evident when 7 of the top 10 oming evensires were sired by Mogul. His ability to leave tremendous udders and high levels of production on his descendents is second to none. Many proven
heifers are now calving in Australia from Mogul and Mogul sons. His impact is likely to be admired for many years to come.
