GRASSLAND SIRE DIRECTORY
Welcome to the GENUS ABS GRASSLAND DIRECTORY Genus ABS are proud to present our ‘new look’ Grassland Sire Directory, which is tailored to suit the needs of those farmers who are looking to maximise their milk from grass. We have an exciting line up of sires from a variety of breeds, including Holsteins, Friesians, Jerseys, Norwegian Reds, Normandes and Fleckvieh. Many of these sires have been sourced from our global stud, which has testing programmes all over the world, including grassland hotspots such as Ireland and New Zealand. You will also find beef sires on pages 41 and 42, which have been specially selected for a grassland herd.

SCC 10.4%
In August 2014, a new economic breeding tool was introduced as part of the DairyCo Breeding+ programme. The Spring Calving Index (£SCI) is an acrossbreed genetic ranking index developed in consultation with industry partners specifically for spring block calving herds and expressed as a financial value.
Maternal Calving Ease 0.4% Fertility 21.8%
Calving Ease Direct 2.2% Maintenance 16.1%
Udder 2.6%
All figures are on an all breeds base, so that you can make easy dairy breed selections, with no need to convert figures to help you make the best decisions for your grassland herd. AUGUST 2016 SOURCE: DAIRYCO BREEDING+

This indicates how fertile the daughters of a sire are expected to be compared to the average. A positive score suggests improved fertility performance. One point of Fertility Index is calculated to be worth a reduction in calving interval by half a day.
Lifespan
Indicates the increase or reduction in lactations a daughter would survive. +0.5 would indicate an extra half a lactation.
SCC (Somatic Cell Counts) A percentage indication of how much cell count will rise or fall by using the sire. A -1% SCC sire would result in an expected reduction of cell counts by 1%, compared to the average.
Maintenance Maintenance is a value in kgs as to how much more or less a daughter would weigh compared to the average. A negative score indicates a bull that would reduce the liveweight of his daughters compared to the average and is more likely to have improved efficiency.

Production PTA’s Calculated on a UK base for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield, as well as Fat and Protein percentage. These are a prediction of the change in production performance of daughters compared to the average and help you to tailor your genetics to best suit your milk contracts and aspirations.
EBI, what is it?... EBI is an across base single figure profit index, devised for the Irish grassland system, suited for milk contracts with high weights of Fat and Protein %. The EBI score is expressed in currency as to how much more the sire in question would improve margins compared to the average. It is broken down into a number of sub indexes. All sub indexes are calculated as a financial value and a higher, positive value is deemed more desirable.

Milk Sub Index
Looks for heavy weighting of Protein and Fat compared to milk yield, aligning itself to component contracts.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS We asked some of our customers to tell us how our Grassland product is helping them to achieve their genetic goals... Tom Rawson milks 600 cows across two herds in Yorkshire and is currently developing a 1000 cow spring calving herd for March 2017. Tom currently block calves in the spring and grazes his herd for 11 months of the year. Tom selects sires for his herd which excel for fertility, protein % and SCC. He has used Jersey, British Friesian and Irish Holsteins in the past.
“
I have been using Genus Grassland genetics for ten years now; we started using Jersey heavily to reduce the size of the Holstein and improve protein % & fertility. Ten years on after also using British Friesian with great success we are now crossing with the Irish Holstein to continue our push for fertility and protein %. The cross bred animals we are milking across our 1000 cows are performing extremely well. We will continue to use Genus Grassland genetics. I’m very happy with the herd performance over the last 8-10 years, Richard Lucas my genetics advisor knows what I want and I have always trusted Genus as my genetics & service supplier.
“
Tom Rawson, Yorkshire
Guy, Liza and their family run the Eastrop Friesian herd at Highworth, Swindon. This impressive autumn calving herd includes 200 milking cows. Guy and Liza are not pushing their cows for high yields as the herd is fed less than 1 tonne of concentrates and silage in winter with no diet feeder. The cows at the Eastrop Friesian herd have to produce milk from grass and Guy feels the Friesian is ideal for this. The current herd average is 5800kg in 305 days at 4.5% fat and 3.4% protein. The cows are outside from early March until November and all the cows’ calve between 7th August and 15th November so good fertility is vital.
“
“
The pure Friesians have worked best on our system and I’m going to stick with them from now onwards. I want to produce cows that are easy to manage and last a long time. I also like to select bulls which combine high Fat and Protein yields with high percentages rather than placing too much emphasis just on milk yield. Guy & Liza Dibble, Swindon
John has been the Manager at Oulton Lowe for about 13 years. He has always stressed achieving good yields and a very tight calving block to make the most of his grass. John has achieved this with a combination of excellent reproductive skills, good nutrition and having the right cow for his system. John started using Norwegian Red in spring 2013. He decided to use NR because he had some Norwegian Red crossbreds in heifers he bought from Ireland and they suited his system very well; very fertile, good yields and trouble free cows. Right from the start John was pleased with the fertility of the Norwegian Red semen and as the calves were born, was very pleased with the performance of the calves. There were no issues calving, it was very easy to get them going and good strong, healthy calves.
“
“
This season I inseminated 118 Norwegian Red crossbred heifers. Of these 118 only 7 are not in my 6 week block and amazingly only 26 did not hold to first service. For the first time ever I actually achieved 100% pregnancy rate! The Norwegian Red fertility is amazing. John Cosgrove, Cheshire

The figures above demonstrate that by using 4-Star and 5-Star TransitionRight™ sires you can reduce the incidence of Mastitis by 73%, Metritis by 43% and Ketosis by 38%. (Data taken from two herds in Italy, totalling 2,500 cows)
TransitionRight™ Economic Sire Ranking Cost per condition:
The economic impact of sire genetics on cow transition health is significant for any size dairy operation. By choosing a 5-Star sire, your operation is projected to save approximately £68 in preventive or reactive costs per cow per lactation over a breed-average 3-Star sire.

Norwegian Red Crossbreds Excel in Grazing Situations Norwegian Red (NRF) cows have been on trial at the Moorepark ‘Ballydague’ research farm since 2001. Interest in the breed stems from the fact that since the 1970’s female fertility, resistance to mastitis, and other functional traits have been included in the breeding program of the breed. Since 2001, the cows at Ballydague have performed well. The reputed characteristics of the breed; ease of calving, high female fertility and low SCC/mastitis incidence have been observed with the small numbers on trial. Therefore, in 2004 a large scale study was set up by Moorepark involving the importation of almost 400 purebred NRF heifer calves. These animals were spread across 50 dairy farms and along with a similar number of crossbreds (NRF×HF) and Holstein-Friesians (HF), now form part of one of the most unique research studies in the world; a very comprehensive study aimed at conclusively evaluating the merits of the NRF breed and the potential benefits of crossbreeding under Irish conditions.
Norwegian Red cows had improved longevity, with 27.2% of Norwegian Red cows and 16.3% of Holstein-Friesian cows surviving until the end of the fifth lactation. When extrapolated to give life-time survival, on average Holstein-Friesian cows completed 3.5 lactations while Norwegian Red cows completed 4.2 lactations. The results proved that Norwegian Red provide another solution to crossbreeding in grazing systems. Based on this further trials were done looking at the performance of Norwegian Red x Holstein Friesian with Irish Holstein. Again the results indicated improved fertility with the same amount of production.
305 day milk production, somatic cell count and fertility performance for HF, NR and NR x HF
Currently the study includes just over 1300 cows across 46 herds. The Norwegian and crossbred cows are by 10 proven bulls. The HF group represent a mix of HF genetics from around the world, having been sired by a broad spectrum of North American Holstein, New Zealand and British Friesian type sires. All cows on the trial were born in 2004 and calved for the first time in the spring of 2006.

Production no significant difference Norwegian Red cows produced milk with a higher protein content than Holstein-Friesian cows, while milk fat content did not differ between breeds. Holstein-Friesian cows tended to have higher 305-day milk yields than Norwegian Red cows during lactations 1–3 (mean: 6476 vs 6219 litres), but not during lactations 4 and 5 (mean: 7206 vs 7178 litres). Fat plus protein yield was unaffected by breed.

Further research has been done looking at the Norwegian Red as a third cross in a traditional Jersey x HF programme. Many producers are looking to improve hybrid vigour and indeed solids after a few generations of 2 way crossing. Compared to a 2 way Jersey x HF; research and producer observations show that the 3 way cross of HF x Jersey x Norwegian Red provides:
1. 2. 3.
Higher milk and solids yields Slightly lower fat and protein % Better conception and health results
And Improved hybrid vigour!
As the condition score results from this study suggest energy balance was similar with both breeds, the improved fertility observed is likely a direct reflection of the long term genetic selection for fertility traits within the Norwegian Red breed.

Fertility plus
®
Fertility Plus is one of Genus ABS’ leading semen fertility products. Years of innovative research has allowed us to create a fertility product which helps to increase conception rates.* *Based on Genus ABS Trials 2010
Contains semen from three British Blue sires that are above average for calving ease and certified as 'proven' in our beef stud.
“
We are an autumn block calving herd, six weeks to dairy then six weeks to Genus ABS Fertility Plus British Blue. It suits our system because of the proven calving ease. It means we can rest easily at night, and the proven calf quality demands a better price at market.

EASY CALVER Contains semen from three sires who score over 110 BSI for calving ease.
“
We used Fertility Plus Blue for a long time but found the calves were calving down a bit big, so we moved to Fertility Plus Native and Fertility Plus Easy Calver. You always want a live calf and cow, so these mixes helped focus on calving ease. The Native mix contains two angus bulls normally so it isn’t easy to record the sire on the calf passport, so we have gone more towards the Easy Calver mix with Limousin, Hereford and Angus bulls in the straw. I have had some really nice Limousin calves from it, up and sucking very fast, and the calving ease has been good, we haven’t had many issues from it at all and plan to continue using it.
