Results of the January 2010 Genetic Evaluations
New Sires Bring Variety!
Holstein
The genetic evaluations of January bring a change in the rolling base of 144 points in LPI and of approximately 1 point in conformation. Ashlar, who ranks 5th in LPI, remains amongst the best. With the addition of a few second-generation daughters, and in spite of the base adjustments, Mr Burns increases his LPI by 20 points, attaining 6th position.
The OMan influence and genetics focussing more on health and fertility traits are reflected by CIAQ’s offer of three sons. Morsan OManny, a newcomer with an impressive start, is the best young graduate of this round as he ranks 9th. He shares the best index in conformation among Oman sons and is by far his best for feet and legs. Manifold remains at the top of our proof sheet (you can view the video starring his daughters by clicking on this link). Eight remains in our “top 10” sires with Canadian proofs.
