World Wide Sires has identified sires that transmit the desired traits for robotic milking systems. RobotPRO sires are selected by focusing on component and milk yield, milk quality, udder health as well as functional traits. Use these sires to create the next generation of profitable cows for your specific milking systems.

GForce indicates sires with elite genetic evaluations based on a combination of traditional pedigree and genomic data, but does not contain actual daughter data. This combination of data increases the reliability of a young sire’s genetic prediction prior to the availability of the actual daughter data.
Fertility icon designates sires that can help you achieve the highest sex-sorted semen conception rates, enhancing your return on investment! This innovative designation distinguishes our highest performing sires for sex-sorted semen in both 2M and 4M products.
Sires which excel in multiple indicators of mastitis resistance are most likely to deliver genetic improvement. Mastitis ResistantPRO uses a combination of CDCB Mastitis Resistance, CDCB Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and Zoetis Mastitis Resistance genomic evaluations to easily identify the most mastitis resistant sires.

PLI (Profitable Lifetime Index) is the national multi-trait index for use in year-round-calving herds. It promotes yield whilst protecting milk quality, and adds emphasis to fertility, longevity and calving performance whilst improving functional type, udder health and lameness. The higher the value the better.
WT$ (Wellness Trait) Places economic weights on wellness traits, directly estimating potential profit contribution of these traits for an individual animal. This multi-trait selection index focuses solely on wellness traits with unique formulas used for Holsteins.
Key Profit Traits
The guide below has been designed to help you easily navigate through our Summer 2022 directory, this we hope will allow you to make a more informed sire selection. We as a company offer the most expansive and transparent range of data available to the UK farmer - utilising both US country of origin and UK data.
aAa The aAa system relies on the physical attributes of an animal with no genetic merit taken into consideration. The system defines a cow’s weak points and a bull’s strengths in order of importance. The bull with the most similar encoding to that of the cow should have the best physical attributes to supplement the cow’s physical shortcomings. The aAa code comprises six numbers: 1, Dairy; 2, Tall; 3, Open; 4, Strong; 5, Smooth; 6, Style. So a cow analysed as 4,6,2 i.e. weak in strong, style & tall sectors, should be mated to a 4,6,2 bull that excels in these traits.
UNDERSTANDING OUR SIRE DIRECTORY
SCR (Sire Conception Rate) is not a genetic trait, but measures the fertility of the bull. An SCR of 1.0 indicates a 1% increase in conception rate when compared to average.
U.K. management evaluation information can be found in this section.
Designations. For a full explanation of Designations see page 2.
SCE (Sire Calving Ease) is the estimate of the Percentage of Difficult Births in Heifers (DBH) when they calve the first time.
SCI (Spring Calving Index) is an across breed genetic index developed for spring block-calv ing herds, which rely heavily on grazed grass and calve in a tight block, to breed cows that produce lower volumes of milk at higher quality. As the index is across-breed, bulls of differ ent breeds can be compared. SCI promotes milk quality, fertility, longevity, easier calving, selects for reduced maintenance costs and protects functional type.

U.S. Proof information can be found in this section.
PL (Productive Life) is a score used to identify the productive months of life a cow will have compared to herd mates. A PL of 1.0 equates to one additional month of production in the herd. PL gives the greatest weight to the first 305 days (10 months) of lactation, as cows are most profitable and productive in early lactation.
U.K. production evaluation information can be found in this section.
Zoetis Wellness traits are direct predictors for wellness traits related to common disease conditions in dairy production. These genetic predictions are based on data from millions of health records within U.S. commercial herds. Higher values are more desirable for all traits. Wellness traits to help you select for a healthier,more trouble-free herd over
TPI (Total Performance Index) is a multi-trait index calculated combining production, type, longevity and fertility into a single value. The higher the value the better.
ACI (Autumn Calving Index) is an across breed genetic index developed for autumn blockcalving herds, and reflects the costs for feeding for winter milk production and the higher milk price received at that time of year. As the index is across-breed, bulls of different breeds can be compared. ACI promotes more milk yield than SCI, but has less emphasis on milk quality & health traits. It does have a higher emphasis on female fertility than PLI. It also selects for longevity, easier calving and functional type and reduced maintenance costs.

Becky Houze, Jersey Island
CowManager notifies of any sick cows before clinical signs, allowing us to segregate and further investigate, to find the cause of problem and treat quickly. Fortunately with CowManager’s advanced technology, we are able to pick up sick cows before they get seriously ill.”
CowManager is the only cow monitoring system to efficiently combine ear temperature with activity and rumination information.
“CowManager ear sensors monitor our herd fertility status and provides us with real-time data. The data we receive, informs us of the optimum time period during a cows ovulation to inseminate for best conception rates and identifies irregular heats so we know to examine the animal for ovarian cysts or other fertility issues and even predicts suspected abortions. Having this data at our fingertips has enabled our farm to achieve higher conception rates, no more missed heats and improved our whole breeding management – we rely on the app!
More Insights. More Control.

Key Features
Precision Breeding Strategy: Maximise economic returns through strategic plan addressing genetic and herd inventory goals.
Why WMS? “We haven’t looked back since!”
Progressive producers in more than 60 countries worldwide have trusted this proven program to design and implement their tailored genetic plan for nearly half a century.
“We have been using the World-Wide Sires, WMS Mating Program for over 15 years, having gone through an expansion we had a range of cows from New Zealand Friesians to extreme Holsteins. Through scoring the animals and matching bulls’ strengths to herd weaknesses we have been able to accelerate our genetic gain and key breeding goals. We have created a much more consistent, uniform herd with increased milk production, more functional animals to suit our system. As the industry continues to change, we re-evaluate our goals with our breeding consultant and having achieved our initial goals, we are able to build upon this to concentrate on further increasing our milk components, higher fertility bulls and offspring fertility and health traits such as Zoetis wellness data”.

What our clients say…
Bry Carter, Herd Manager Somerset Holsteins (225 cow herd), Somerset.
Quite simply, we maximise pregnancy production through aggressive heat detection, therefore increasing milk production, in turn maximising your profits.
“Since starting on a 3 month trial with A.B Cow Support, we are nearly twelve months in and are over the moon with the results. Thanks to Megan, Alan and team’s input our pregnancy rate has risen by over 9% over the twelve months and continues to rise. We are currently running at 2.4 straws to conception across maiden heifers and cows using sexed semen and beef. These guys are an extra pair of eyes over our herd that we simply could not be without.”

Focus on the root cause of why cows leave the herd. For example, if cows leave due to Low Production…is it really low production, or is reproduction the true problem? If they had bred back quickly, would they still be leaving the herd?

Whether you know her by name, by number, or not at all – I think we can agree that our goal is to create more cows just like her.
Sometimes, you may find yourself referring to type traits as an indication of performance.
Mastitis? Transition Disease? Poor Reproduction? Lameness?
If you have achieved a high enough level of functional type in your herd, we will find that conformation will rarely be the reason for culling an animal. Instead, it is her performance causing her to leave the herd.
After asking these five simple questions, you should have a good idea of what kind of a cow you are looking for.

Calf Health h. Overall Cow Health i. Feed Efficiency j. Udder Conformation/Teat Size & Placement WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING TRAITS IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?
WHY DO COWS LEAVE YOUR HERD?
Perhaps you don’t even know who your favorite cow is because she never needs any attention. She requires one straw of semen a year, never steps foot in the hospital pen, and doesn’t cause any trouble.

More indexes give you more choices, and more opportunities to ensure you’re picking the right genetics to align with your goals. But how do you decide which index is right for you?

IN FIVE YEARS, WHAT WILL YOUR PERFECT COW LOOK LIKE AND ACT LIKE?
It’s common for all of us to draw conclusions between type traits and performance traits. Historically, we relied on the physical characteristics of a cow to indicate her Today,performance.afteryears of genetic research and genomic testing, we know that these physical characteristics are poor indicators of performance and we can directly select for traits like daughter fertility and disease resistance to create the type of cow that will be long lasting and healthy in our herds.
IN FIVE YEARS, DO YOU WANT YOUR COWS TO BE BIGGER, SMALLER, OR THE SAME SIZE?
What were the first things that came to your mind? Consider putting these at the core of your index.

Cow size should not be the only reason you decide on an index, but it is something you need to be aware of and take into consideration.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE COW IN THE HERD?

Why is she your favorite cow? What is it about her that you like? What would your life look like if you could fill a barn with cows just like her?

Not all dairy operations are created the same, nor do they have the same goals. So while the existence of so many different indexes may seem overwhelming or confusing, it’s actually a good thing.
Consider the chart below that shows the relative emphasis of each of the nine traits in Question 5, and how they are considered in each Whatformula.were the three traits of most importance to you? Which index shows these traits as a high or medium emphasis?
Why is it then that so often we focus our sire selection on type traits? Perhaps we should reconsider and select for traits that will help her stay in the herd longer.
