AUGUST 2011 JERSEY CATALOGUE
Russell Gammon, Semex Jersey Champion Since June 1, 2011 the Semex Jersey Program has been led by one of the world’s foremost experts in the Jersey breed, Russell Gammon. Russell is extremely well-known in the dairy cattle industry through his leadership and experience with Jersey Canada. Russell began his career at Jersey Canada as Assistant Editor of the Canadian Jersey Breeder, progressing to the role of Executive Secretary in 1991, a position he held until joining Semex. While at Jersey Canada, Russell was a strong proponent for Canadian Jerseys, promoting the breed internationally and helping to stimulate business activity levels last achieved in the late 1960s. Under his leadership, Jersey Canada registered more than 1000 new Jersey prefixes between 2004
and early 2011. Additionally, he coordinated strategic planning and negotiated joint ventures to benefit Canadian Jersey breeders. His dairy industry leadership roles are well-documented and include: • Serving as President of the Canadian Livestock Genetics Association • Participating in the formation of Canada’s Multi-Breed Classification System • Serving as North American Vice President for the World Jersey Cattle Bureau from 2002-2008 • Working with a team to develop the World Jersey Cheese Awards Russell’s dedication to the Jersey industry has been recognized
multiple times, most recently in 2011 when Russell was presented the Distinguished Achievement Award by the World Jersey Cattle Bureau. “How motivating to join the Semex family and discover even more passion and excitement for the Jersey breed than I had realized was resident within the company!” says Gammon. “With a team of devoted and energetic ‘Jersey Champions’ around the globe, the sky’s truly the limit for Jersey genetic progress at Semex! We view our clients as our partners; providing them with the best Jersey cows possible is our goal. Look to code 200 sires for all of your Jersey genetic needs, as our genomic selection takes us higher and faster than ever before!”
The Jersey Outlook Semex has long been known as the home of Balanced Breeding, and has a Jersey history studded with notable successes. As the Jersey market continues to grow and become increasingly international in scope, Semex’s Jersey Program is evolving to meet these needs. Led by international Jersey veteran Russell Gammon, the Semex Jersey Program is dedicated to its ultimate goal of providing Semex customers worldwide with the very best Jersey sires available. Listening to dairymen that work with the Jersey cow day in and out, Semex is aggressively seeking sires that will deliver the results they’re looking for… low maintenance, high yielding cows that are built to last. We’re taking advantage of genomic selection and identifying future champions from the pool of young sires for our Genomax™ lineup, all while maintaining a crisp focus on Semex’s time-tested Balanced Breeding philosophy. Each and every mating focuses on one very simple and key question… ‘Will this bull help dairymen add value to their operations and increase their profits?’ Working with Semex’s global team of Jersey experts, we understand that no other question is more important for our clients. This has netted great successes for Semex customers already. We’ve been adding topnotch, high composite index young sires to the 200JE code that will be the breed-leading daughter proven sires in just a few short years. We are certain that by working together we will breed the next generation of Jersey cows to be the most profitable yet.
“Like most dairymen, I want a cow that pays her own way. A cow that comes into the parlour, gets milked and likes to be there and I like to have her in the herd. Like my father before me, I breed for high components, low somatic cell and an udder that’s good to work with in the parlour…an all-around trouble-free cow. We have always used Semex genetics and rely on Semex to breed a complete cow that is trouble-free, efficient and profitable for us.” John Brand, Jr. and son Jeb Hayfield Jerseys, Clinton, Ontario Milking 100 Jersey Cows

The future looks even brighter An age-old adage in cattle breeding, and indeed all efforts in life, is “you get what you go for”. The truth of this statement has been proven repeatedly over the decades. And so, the Semex Jersey Program charges forth with the explicit goal of accessing male seed stock from the Jersey breed’s most famous cow families. We constantly strive to focus on families that are famous because they deliver over multiple generations.
BW AVERY KATIE ET121-ET EX-93%-4YR-USA
In our relentless pursuit of the best possible product line for our customers, we have acquired young bulls that are from world-class families that you’ll know and admire. We’re sure you’ll want to use young bulls from these lines. Consider two young Valentino sons from the genomic phenomenon Pearlmont Impuls Daffy at Sunset Canyon: David and Director. These bulls are very likely the highest JH1 Free Valentino sons in the world. Or how about a BW Legion son from a full sister to Bridon Vincent - remember this name Bridon Validation. Oh, those true breeding Virginias! And how about this sampler of the breed’s best families: The Flowers and Fantastics at Molly Brook; the Belles of RJ Farms or the Belles at Lencrest; The Prize family and Katie at Brentwood; Vanessas in Australia; The Anthems from Sunset Canyon; the A family at Gaby Farm.

DESCRIPTIVE TRAITS Descriptive traits are evaluated using the same method as the Conformation but focuses on specifics with the greater number being preferable except for the Mid-Scoring traits that are circled. For the Mid-Scoring traits the higher the number the greater the tendency to exhibit the trait as noted by the letter (e.g. 9S - very high tendency to transmit Straight for Rear Leg Side View). A value of 0 is considered the most correct.
D
FUNCTIONAL TRAITS - A collection of genetic evaluations to be used as herd management tools. By avoiding sires significantly below breed average for these traits, breeders can augment the effectiveness of their overall breeding program.
ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUE- Production proofs are expressed as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs), which are measured in Mature Equivalent Kilograms, for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield. The single EBV published for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield is the average of the first three lactations. EBVs are also provided for Fat and Protein Percentages. CANADIAN TEST DAY MODEL - The Canadian Dairy Network (CDN) is responsible for calculating production proofs for sires and cows using the Canadian Test Day Model (CTDM), which compares the progeny of each sire to their contemporaries using data from each test day. A unique feature of the CTDM is that separate EBVs are available for Milk, Fat and Protein yield, as well as Persistency and Somatic Cell Score, for each of the first three lactations.
For most bulls their scores will be close to the average of all the bulls, while fewer bulls will score at the high end or at the low end. Very few bulls reach scores as high as +19 as compared with over 99% of bulls falling in the range of +15 to -15.

STANDARD DEVIATIONS - Simply put, the standard deviation tells us how far a bull is from the mean (average) value of all the bulls. The graph on the right shows the normal Expected Distribution of Bull Proofs for Conformation Traits 70% distribution of bull proofs for conformation traits with 68% of 60% bull ranging from -5 to +5, 95% from -10 to +10, 99% 50% 68% from -15 to +15, etc.). 40% 30% 20% 10% 0%

CONFORMATION - Conformation proofs are expressed as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) displayed using a -20 to +20 scale, with a standard deviation of 5. A rolling Genetic Base is used to express Conformation EBVs. In 2011, this base includes all proven bulls born in the most recent 10-year period (1996-2005). A sire’s conformation proof is based on all classifications of his first lactation daughters using a linear type classification system. Daughter scores provide the basis for EBVs for major type and descriptive traits. Major traits can be used to narrow down the field of sires (e.g. feet and legs.) Descriptive traits can be used to focus on specific traits (e.g. correct foot angle).
C
LIFETIME PROFIT INDEX - The LPI provides a single rating of the overall genetic merit of a sire based on the production, conformation and auxiliary traits known to affect longevity, durability and profitability of its daughters. If the sire has been genotyped for the 50K SNP panel, a GLPI is provided instead of an LPI.
ROLLING PRODUCTION BASE - Production and conformation EBVs are calculated relative to a rolling base which is updated in January each year. In 2011, the rolling base includes all cows born during a 3-year period (2003-2005) having test day records in the CTDM evaluation. Active sires tend to have higher production EBVs, since their proofs are expressed relative to this cow base. Conversely, the EBVs of older sires tend to decline as the rolling base is adjusted.
PRODUCTION - Based on the Canadian Test Day Model using Estimated Breeding Values from 1st, 2nd & 3rd lactation for Milk, Fat and Protein yield which are blended together to achieve one published rating. A Rolling Genetic Base is used to express Production EBVs. In 2011, this base includes all cows born during a 3-year period centred 7 years ago (20032005) having test day records in the CTDM genetic evaluation analysis.
