Breeding Values Highlights August 2023
Good progeny results for widely used Optimis bulls with the August breeding value estimate.
New proven sire
CRESTO (Fabrice x Jestor x Alik): With CRESTO we have been able to significantly improve milk and beef yields. He comes from an exceptionally high-performance cow family with grand-dam Alik REHLI EX-90 who has a proud lifetime production of 132,200 kg milk. His daughters impress with good fitness traits and they are ideal for milking. Calving is also smooth. He delivers cows which are strong on type traits with wide rumps and correct limb dimensions. He has the ideal casein types of BB and A2/A2.
Proven sires
CYRILL (Unic x Apollo x Ah-Flyer): An almost flawless bar chart for conformation and a good milk yield coupled with high contents make the son of the famous Apollo CORONA EX-92 2E very attractive. Not for nothing is he the bestseller in the Swiss market. He has also been used widely as a sire – ARIELLO, ARMANDO and ELVIS are his sons.
LORADO (Brisago x Heli x Florian) produces cows with the ideal size, good rump, fine bone structure and an optimal ankle joint angle. His udder conditioning is outstanding and the teats are very well placed under the udder. With BB and good fat content he is also ideal for cheese production operations.
UNETTO (Unic x David x Foerster): His conformation is the biggest strength of the Uni-son. He has also been widely used as a sire. His sons are ARNO, BRUNO, SIR and TEO..
BALTASAR (Unic x Saemi x Firn), BOJAN (Bernhard x Saemi x Firn): Both come from the Tur-Bach’s B-Line and clearly display their strengths in milk yield. BOJAN is also still available with sexed semen.
UNIKAT (Fabbio x Nordpol x David) comes from the famous family of David NYMPHE. He not only breeds fine cows. All roads lead here if you are looking for Simmental bulls for cheese production as UNIKAT delivers yield, content and BB.
Optimis (genomic)
ELVIS (Cyrill x Amarone x Sepp) combines in his pedigree a high-performance father (CYRILL) and two maternal generations who were classified EX several times. Therefore it is hardly surprising that this young bull combines a fantastic conformation profile with good scores for yield and contents.
BOOMER (Adi x Chlaus x Granat) owes his high ISET value to good content and correct partial breeding values for beef, fitness and conformation. The Adi-son is A2A2 and has the Robot Label.
SILAS (Bencer x Lenz x Niklas) is an early BENCER-son who has a balanced profile that thanks to BB coupled with good milk contents is exciting primarily for cheese production operations. He has also earned the Robot Label through his positive udder and teat values. A high beef index of 113 completes his profile.
AZALEO (Brisago x Fabbio x Jonas): With the breed icons Talent BELLA EX-95 9E (dam of BRISAGO) and Fabbio AZALEA EX-95 2E in the pedigree, this bull is a Must for conformation lovers! He is available with sexed semen and SpermVital.
BASIL (Brisago x Sipan x Adi): The father delivers conformation and the maternal line with Apollo BELLA (140,000 kg lifetime milk production!) We find all this in BASIL’s profile – the full package of yield, conformation and functionality. Added to this he is also A2/A2.
PIERROT (Bernhard x Bluno x Pomelo) The combination of high yield (+873 kg milk) and above-average beef value are a rarity that can be found in this bull!
FANTASIO (Aladin x Adi x Roman) comes from a solid family known for its strong-yield and conformation. Sexed doses are also available!
CURDIN (Adi x Apollo x Ah-Flyer) comes from Apollo CORONA like our bestsellers and is one of the most complete bulls in our offer. All partial breeding values are positive, with the exciting combination of milk and beef yield.
ARMANDO (Cyrill x Brisago x Granat) is a modern young bull from a deep cow family with strengths in yield, content and conformation. ARMANDO is also available sexed and as SpermVital.
