Outcross

Signifies a bull that is outstanding for increasing profit. > ABV profit ranking of more than 200 APR.

Components Signifies a bull that is outstanding for component improvement. > Protein and Fat ABVs of more than 20kg, with positive component percentages.

Type & Mammary System A bull with superior ABV for Type and Mammary System. > Both Type and Mammary System ABV over 106.

Health Signifies a bull that is outstanding for health traits. > ABV 100 (average) or better for Cell Count and Daughter Fertility and Survival.

Milk A bull that significantly increases milk flow. > A Milk ABV of more than 1000 litres.

Longevity A bull’s ability to sire progeny who last in the herd for many lactations. > An ABV of 103 for Survival or greater.

Liveweight Heavier cows reflect higher energy requirements for maintenance and higher costs. > Liveweight ABV of less than 100, and a Stature ABV equal to or less than 100.

Reliability A bull with a highly reliable proof, one that is least likely to change over time. > Holstein: over 1000 daughters in the bull’s production ABV. > Jersey and Red Breeds: over 800 daughters in the bull’s production ABV.

A bull that has an outcross bloodline may assist in avoiding inbreeding.

A2/A2 If A2/A2 are mated to A2/A2 tested cows only A2/A2 offspring will be produced.

Calving Ease (Holstein only) A bull whose progeny are born more easily. > Holstein: bull has an ABV of over 103 for Calving Ease

PROFITABLE GRAZING GENETICS FROM DOWN UNDER Taurus Service Inc. is honored to be partnering with Genetics Australia to bring you the best dairy cattle genetics from the land Down Under. Australian dairy cattle closely fit what we look for in North America: cattle that can milk for 10 months, calve back every year, produce milk efficiently and economically and look good while they are performing for you. The bulls of Genetics Australia produce daughters that are grazing machines that will also respond with higher production if challenged with grain or a TMR. Creating daughters that are medium framed but with substance, toughness and style Genetics Australia bulls are developed from the best genetics from around the world. You will find pedigrees in the Holsteins that contain North American and European bloodlines in addition to Australian bulls and cow families. The Holstein sires in this catalog are all Frame Stabilizers that offer a range from top fluid to high components to bulls that will provide both. The result are cattle that will be profitable in North American operations either on pasture or in the freestall while offering lower Expected Future Inbreeding (EFI).

The Jerseys offered in this catalog blend North American, Australian and New Zealand genetics in high component, low somatic cell cattle that offer style, strength and great mammary systems with lower EFIs. Thriving all across the challenging dairy areas of Australia, from the tropics of the north through the arid regions of Queensland to the temperate south, the Australian Jersey can handle any environment with which she is challenged; including all the dairy areas of the US and Canada.

The Aussie Reds are unique in the world’s dairy population. Developed 30 years ago from the combination of the Australian Illawarra and the red breeds of Scandinavia, the Aussie Red has had greater emphasis placed on milk production while continuing to incorporate many of the health traits of the Northern European red cattle. Further, in contrast to the European red cattle, the Aussie Red has been created by intense selection pressure in grazing operations with supplements feeding. The result is a cow that excels on grass, responds to being challenged with concentrates or a TMR while breeding back, calving easily and being a source of profitable production for crossbreeding programs in the pasture or in the freestall.

Searching the world to provide you the “Profitable Genetics” for which we have been known for over 40 years, Taurus Service Inc. is proud to offer you the bulls of Genetics Australia for your grazing, conventional or freestall operation.

Australian Holstein Developed to perform on pasture plus farming systems The Holstein breed has developed for many decades to where it now commands about 70% of the dairy breed population in Australia.

HOLSTEIN

For the past 50 years Genetics Australia has worked with many of Australia’s most successful breeders to blend the best genetics from around the world to identify top performing cow families. The very best of these have become bull mothers and their sons are included in this catalogue.

Their daughters have inherited characteristics ideally suited to perform well in grazing systems and will also respond to additional feed supplements.

Australian Holsteins are not generally tall but big bodied powerful cows with tons of dairy strength and their overall conformation, udder quality and overall performance is appealing to more and more dairy farmers around the world.

MEDALLION - in a class of his own!

MEDALLION is one of the most impressive total performance Holsteins in Australia today. His daughters are not tall but large robust deep bodied cows ideally suited for grazing systems. As Australia’s leading bull for Overall Type and Mammary System it is not surprising he is Australia’s highest demand Holstein.

The Australian Jersey Efficient, adaptable and profitable Australia has had a long love affair with the Jersey breed. Many Australian farmers recognize the breed as the most economical converters of feed into milk resulting in more profit.

HOLSTEIN JERSEY

The typical Australian Jersey is a medium size robust cow and she has adapted well to the varied climatic changes and large herds found in many dairy regions.

An infusion of proven genetics from Australia, New Zealand, US, and Denmark can be found in many pedigrees. However unlike in a number of these populations Australian Jersey breeders place greater emphasis on conformation and mastitis resistance.

Demand is growing around the world for this adaptable dairy breed.

Aussie Reds A unique Red Dairy Breed from Down Under

AUSSIE RED

Aussie Reds are medium size, tough hardy cattle developed over 30 years in the diverse dairy farm dairy farm condition found throughout Australia.

They have proven they can thrive equally well in the tropical dairy regions as well as the often harsh outdoor conditions found in Southern Australia.

Aussie Reds tend to hold body condition, get back in calf faster and perform well on pasture and will also respond to additional feed supplements.

Aussie Reds are a profitable option for red to red mating and growing in popularity for 3 way rotational cross breeding programs.

Australian Profit Ranking (APR)

Extrem

Expressed as a dollar value, the APR is calculated using production information (the ASI explanation further down) and non production traits that effect farm profitability.

Non-production traits include health and management traits, including Somatic Cell Count, Temperament, Milking Speed, Liveweight and Survival.

WORKABILITY

Production ABV Production traits are expressed in their units of measurement from a rolling base of 0, which represents the average cow currently milking in Australia.

The reliability figure is an estimate of potential proof change based on the number of daughters, herds and test days. The higher the reliability, the lower the chance of proof movement.

Australian Selection Index (ASI) Like the APR, the ASI is expressed as a dollar value.

This production-based index is weighted using a similar ratio of milk:fat:protein to what most Australian dairy farmers are paid for their milk.

Index weightings are as follows: (7.096 x Protein kg ABV) + (1.434 x Fat kg ABV) – (0.084 x Milk ABV).

Workability traits These are calculated from information provided by Australian farmers who participate in a recognised herd recording program. They are expressed as a percentage deviating (±) from the base of 100. In this example, 102 for milking speed indicates that buddha is 5% above average for this trait i.e. his daughters on average milk faster. The reliability percentage is generated from the number of daughters and contemporaries scored and the number of herds.

Health Traits Health Traits such as Cell Count, Survival, Liveweight and Daughter Fertility can be interpreted the same way as the workability traits. They are expressed as a percentage deviating (±) from the trait’s average, which is set at 100.

The reliability figure represents the amount of information that has been used to calculate this publishable data.

An ‘n/a’ indicates that the reliability figure is too low to give a meaningful indication of what value you can expect to transmitted.

Calving Ease Like the Workability and Health Traits Calving Ease is expressed as a percentage deviating (±) from the trait’s average, which is set at 100. Easier calving sires have figures greater than 100.

Type ABV Overall Type and Mammary System, as well as all twenty descriptive traits, are expressed from a base of 100. For example, an Overall Type score of 113 indicates that this bull is 13% better than the average of the population for Overall Type. The average is calculated using all bulls with publishable proofs born between 1999 and 2003.

The reliability percentage is generated from the number of daughters and contemporaries classified and the number of herds.
