Ranking of Starbuck male progeny in Canada

Since 1991, a combined index is used in Canada to rank bulls and cows as parents of the next generation of dairy cows in order to maximize the rate of genetic progress achieved for the most important traits. Ranking bulls according to the Lifetime Profit Index (LPI) allows breeders to identify those that are the most likely to sire the most profitable daughters over 5 lactations. It is worth mentioning that since the very first publication of the LPI index in February 1991, the first rank has always been held by a bull related to Starbuck (son or grandson).

			Revenues generated by the sale of Starbuck semen
			The total net revenues generated by the sale of Starbuck semen amount to close to 25 million dollars, the best year being 1986-1987 with 4 873 658 $. In addition to being extremely popular in Canada and in the United States, Starbuck was also in great demand on the international markets. He was the top-selling bull among those offered by Semex Canada in 1985-1986, 1986-1987, 1987-1988 and 1989-1990 with net revenues of 3.08, 2.80, 2.99 and 2.96 million dollars respectively.
			CIAQ's Sainte-Madeleine facilities have been built thanks to those revenues. These modern facilities accomodate laboratoires, some offices and 17 barns housing up to 725 bulls representing the next generation of high quality sires.
