SUPERSIRE - Living Up to His Name
October 2018 was a monumental month for 7HO11351 Seagull-Bay SUPERSIRE (EX-90-GM). In less than 2,500 days, and at the age of seven years and 10 months, SUPERSIRE became the eleventh Select Sires bull to sell one million units of semen. Joining him in this coveted club are previous millionaire sires 7HO11314 MOGUL, 7HO9222 SHOT, 7HO8081 PLANET, 7HO8165 MILLION, 7HO7466 MOSCOW, 7HO6417 O MAN, 7HO5708 BLITZ, 7HO4213 INTEGRITY, 7HO3707 MATHIE*CV and 7HO1236 MANDINGO.
“SUPERSIRE’s dam, Shauna, was the best PLANET daughter I have ever seen. The Holstein breed is very fortunate that she was bred to 7HO10524 ROBUST and produced such an influential sire in SUPERSIRE,” says Mark Kerndt, sire analyst.
A standout from the start After historical popularity as a Super Sampler TM , SUPERSIRE made his debut to the daughter-proven lineup as the breed’s No. 1 GTPI ® sire in April of 2015. This was the start of his reign as the breed-leader for four consecutive genetic evaluations. The following four evaluations, he continued to show his genetic strength, maintaining top-10 status and siring pure customer satisfaction from coast-to-coast and around the globe.
A MILLIONAIRE’S LEGACY
“SUPERSIRE should be regarded as one of the all-time great profit generators of his generation!” says VerBeek.
Today’s breed-leading SUPERSIRE sons include 7HO11985 TETRIS, 7HO12449 MARTY 14HO7489 HOMER and 14HO7418 BELAIR, but the best is yet to come.
