<strong>GGI</strong> at All-European Championship in Italy<br />
As the only foreign bull, the Jocko Besneson<br />
Jardin was presented by an outstanding<br />
daughter group at the All-European<br />
Championship in Cremona, Italy, at the<br />
booth of <strong>GGI</strong>.<br />
A total of five second crop daughters made<br />
the trip via the Alps in order to represent<br />
the <strong>German</strong> flag. All of the Jardin-daughters<br />
left an excellent mark upon the more<br />
than 4,000 international visitors. They<br />
showed themselves as very homogeneous<br />
<strong>GGI</strong> booth in Cremona<br />
daughter group with good strength and<br />
nice harmony. The audience especially<br />
praised the good quality of feet&legs and<br />
udders of the daughters presented.<br />
Jardin is also an outstanding protein sire<br />
and he can be recommended for the use on<br />
heifers. Lots of the positive comments from<br />
<strong>German</strong>y and abroad are conducive to the<br />
2<br />
great popularity worldwide which this exceptional<br />
sire still enjoys.<br />
The worldwide known conformation sire<br />
Rustler dominated the Red Holstein Championship.<br />
His daughters showed an unbelievable<br />
strength in the show ring and with that<br />
Rustler was able to leave a mark in three<br />
out of four classes.<br />
The Talent-daughter Lotani – out of a<br />
Rustler-dam – won the first class, the 1c<br />
prize became the Italian Rustler-daughter<br />
Baruf Rastler Megan.<br />
The later overall winner Pepita wins class<br />
No.2 and the 1c prize goes to the Rustlerdaughter<br />
Gina.<br />
A Rustler-daughter won the 1a prize in<br />
class No.3, too. Another Rustler-daughter<br />
was ranked No.6.<br />
When choosing the overall Champion, it
got exciting between the Rustler-daughter<br />
Pepita and the Luxembourgian Talentdaughter<br />
Mylene who won the 4 th and oldest<br />
class. Judge John Gribbon chose the<br />
Grand Champion: Rustler-daughter Pepita<br />
lightly coloured Pepita at the end of the day<br />
since she impressed by her nice harmony,<br />
lots of dairy character and frame. Her ud-<br />
Jardin-daughters were presented in the ring<br />
der, which showed good veining and was<br />
attached extremely long and firm in the<br />
fore, should be mentioned.<br />
Many interested farmers visited <strong>GGI</strong> in Cremona<br />
Congratulations to all exhibitors and we are<br />
happy with the Rustler-daughters’ success<br />
and the excellent progeny group of Jardin.�<br />

EuroTier 2010: <strong>GGI</strong> with top bulls on stage<br />
Over 144,000 visitors from more than 80<br />
countries attended the world’s largest trade<br />
exhibition for animal husbandry and management<br />
in Hanover from November 16 th<br />
to 19 th 2010.<br />
The <strong>GGI</strong> stand was very popular and the<br />
progeny groups of its member organizations<br />
were presented at the “TopTierTreff“ in<br />
hall 27. Eight Holstein, two Red Holstein<br />
groups as well as one Angler group, each<br />
of three animals, were shown daily. The<br />
stage presentation offered detailed infor-<br />
mation on the progeny groups and the<br />
milestones of <strong>German</strong> cattle breeding to the<br />
visitors.<br />
You will find below a comprehensive introduction<br />
to the eleven progeny groups:<br />
The framy Brigade-daughters are wellbalanced<br />
and impress with strength in the<br />
fore hand and their outstanding sloped<br />
rumps. The good feet & legs are characterized<br />
by excellent bone quality. The udders,<br />
which show good texture, are firmly attached<br />
and the wide rear udders are car-<br />
ried by a strong suspensory ligament.<br />
Brigade breeds free stall barn cows which<br />
are strong in type. His great strength is outstanding<br />
transmission for components with<br />
good milk yield.<br />
The Van Gogh-daughters are tall, promising<br />
heifers equipped with long bodies and<br />
lots of development potential. Their feet &<br />
legs are faultless and the udders are attached<br />
highly and firmly, are well shaped<br />
and show great texture.<br />
Elite is an all-rounder and transmits bal-<br />

anced conformation and he is positive for<br />
all fitness traits with adequate production.<br />
The cows are medium-sized, balanced and<br />
trouble-free. They show lots of type and<br />
open rib. They move freely on their parallel<br />
set feet & legs and have high foot angles as<br />
well as clean joints. The udders show good<br />
texture and are well-balanced, firmly attached<br />
and excel with high and wide rear<br />
attachments.<br />
The red outcross sire Keel is one of the few<br />

continued from page 3: EuroTier 2010<br />
Komtur-sons. Keel breeds medium-sized<br />
cows with enough depth and strength.<br />
Highlight of his transmission are feet &<br />
legs. They show optimal leg angle and set<br />
and the very good feet and clear joints impress.<br />
Besides excellent locomotion, the<br />
good udders are an eye-catcher. Rear udder<br />
height, suspensory ligament and the<br />
entire udder attachment leave nothing to be<br />
desired.<br />
The daughters of Radon impressed with<br />
balanced bodies and perfect feet & legs.<br />
They are young looking with great locomotion<br />
and healthy, well-shaped udders. The<br />
daughters evolve into strong cows. Radon’s<br />
hallmarks are daughter fertility, longevity<br />
and udder health. He combines high milk<br />
yield potential<br />
with positive<br />
protein percentages.<br />
The Tilo-daughters<br />
have level to<br />
sloped rumps of<br />
average width.<br />
Feet & legs show<br />
excellent high<br />
and closed feet<br />
with very good<br />
bone quality and<br />
parallel rear leg<br />
set. This results in<br />
excellent locomotion<br />
traits. In particular,<br />
the very<br />
firm and high attached udders carried by a<br />
strong suspensory ligament are eye-catchers.<br />
Janosch, Stylist and Jardin, together with<br />
4<br />
<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
the Red Holstein<br />
sire Carmano<br />
from second crop<br />
were also presented.<br />
The medium-sized<br />
Janosch-daughters<br />
have a very<br />
correct, open rib<br />
and solid strength<br />
in the fore hand.<br />
They predominantly<br />
have wellsloped<br />
rumps. The<br />
Janosch-daughters<br />
have very<br />
good locomotion<br />
Radon as a new promising sire of RUW was represented through a uniform<br />
daughter group.<br />
with well set legs and a steep foot angle.<br />
The high and wide udders show good texture<br />
and a strong suspensory ligament as<br />
well as highly and widely attached rear udders<br />
which will<br />
stand up to high<br />
production over<br />
many lactations.<br />
Hallmarks of<br />
C a r m a n o ’ s<br />
progeny are top<br />
c o n f o r m a t i o n ,<br />
high lifetime production<br />
and great<br />
longevity. His<br />
dairy daughters<br />
impress with their<br />
udders and fan-<br />
The Carmano-daughters (RUW) showed impressively why the sire is so well known<br />
and used worldwide.<br />
One of the 11 daughter groups that were presented at the EuroTier was the<br />
progeny group of Janosch owned by RBB.<br />
tastic feet & legs.<br />
Carmano im-<br />
proves almost all conformation and functional<br />
traits. The daughters are late maturing<br />
animals, as you would wish them to be<br />
these days, for good longevity.<br />
The daughters of Stylist are characterized<br />
by good dairy character with adequate<br />
strength in the fore hand and wide, correctly<br />
sloped rumps, clearly above average.<br />
Very good locomotion is guaranteed<br />
by the feet & legs which show optimal angle<br />
and outstanding leg set, as well as<br />
tight, closed feet. Udders are impressive<br />
with very high and wide rear attachments<br />
and optimal teat placement.<br />
Jardin daughters are framy cows with average<br />
strength and open rib. The cows<br />
show good length and lots of development<br />
potential. The rumps vary regarding position,<br />
but have good width. The very good<br />
feet & legs leave nothing to be desired regarding<br />
set, angle and bone quality. The<br />
feet impress too. In particular, Jardin’s udder<br />
transmission is a highlight. His daughters<br />
excel with highly and widely attached<br />
rear udders as well as a strong suspensory<br />
ligament with optimal teat placement.<br />
Angler bull Hexer is an all-rounder with a<br />
deep, solid pedigree. The uniform Hexerdaughters<br />
impress with their size and the<br />
good combination of dairy type and excellent<br />
body traits. The correct top lines and<br />
wide, well-sloped rumps impress. The solid<br />
feet & legs are slightly angled and have<br />
good quality feet. Hexer transmits wide<br />
and high rear udders with good attachment<br />
and optimal teat placement. �
<strong>German</strong> winter shows<br />
Four big shows have already been held<br />
this winter. We would like to give you a<br />
short report on them.<br />
RBB<br />
First was last year’s show of RBB. Jelbas, an<br />
early Jefferson (MS: Eminenz), was represented<br />
by a group of medium-sized daughters<br />
with correctly sloped rumps and quality,<br />
high udders. A group of dairy cows with<br />
good front end, strength and excellent<br />
rumps as well as high and wide rear udders<br />
was shown from Suarez (Shottle x<br />
Jocko Besne x Storm) who already got a<br />
daughter proven breeding value in August.<br />
The clear winner of all progeny groups,<br />
The Malvoy-daughters at the RUW show in Hamm presented<br />
themselves as well-developed and with strong bodies.<br />
Suadar, was in this group. This great young<br />
cow probably owes some of her elegance<br />
and dairyness to her dam’s sire, Laudan.<br />
The audience was curious about the progeny<br />
group of Guarini (Goldwin x O-Man x<br />
Jester) who is already marketed as a genomically<br />
tested bull. The extremely uniform<br />
group of dark young cows with outstanding<br />
udders was very appealing. This<br />
might be a confirmation of his very good<br />
genomic breeding value. Moreover, the<br />
crowd was able to see a calf group of Borsati<br />
in the barn for the progeny. The five<br />
young cattle of currently the best <strong>German</strong><br />
Bolton-son at No.5 in the <strong>German</strong> genomic<br />
top list, attracted lots of interest.<br />
RSA<br />
A Christmassy atmosphere in the festively<br />
decorated cattle hall and a big audience<br />
were the background for the anniversary<br />
show of the RSA.<br />
Like in the barns, the progeny of the second<br />
crop sire Cecon impressed with lots of elegance<br />
and outstanding udder quality in the<br />
ring. The next class included the progeny<br />
group of the best <strong>German</strong> Goldwin-son,<br />
<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
and top-class conformation sire, Van<br />
Gogh. The outstanding Van Gogh-daughter<br />
Valerie showed herself to be the true<br />
queen of the show ring and left nothing to<br />
be desired. Unfortunately, the exceptionalsire<br />
Van Gogh has recently passed away<br />
and there is very little semen stock left.<br />
RUW<br />
Right at the start of the New Year, the HighlightSALE<br />
of RUW took place.<br />
A very attractive group of 7 daughters of<br />
Malvoy was shown. These very well-developed<br />
animals were strong in the body and<br />
equipped with an open rib. The mostly correctly<br />
sloped rumps were exactly of the desired<br />
width. The good feet &<br />
legs were particularly impressive<br />
with their parallel set.<br />
The firmly and widely attached<br />
udders were a highlight with<br />
the rear udders being especially<br />
eye-catching. They show<br />
good texture and are carried<br />
by a strong suspensory ligament.<br />
Teats are placed perfectly<br />
and are of clearly above average<br />
length.<br />
Omatido (Oman x Aaron x<br />
Aero Wade) was<br />
represented by<br />
five very good<br />
heifers from the<br />
test period. As the animals<br />
were quite far in their lactation,<br />
they showed slight variations<br />
for body substance and<br />
udder size. The animals show<br />
lots of capacity and especially<br />
excel with depth and strength<br />
in the front end and, additionally,<br />
they have a nice, open<br />
rib structure. The slightly sloped<br />
rumps were optimal regarding<br />
their width. The parallel set feet & legs impressed<br />
and enabled good locomotion. The<br />
udders showed good texture and they were<br />
firmly attached both in the fore and in the<br />
rear. The suspensory ligament as well as<br />
the very good teat placement leave nothing<br />
to be desired.<br />
Daughters of Folleto were shown as a very<br />
uniform group. The daughters of this Fordson,<br />
who is strong for conformation, have<br />
sufficient strength with lots of length in the<br />
body and enough capacity. Rumps can be<br />
described as “optimal“ and they convince<br />
with their width and position. The Folletodaughters<br />
move perfectly on their parallel<br />
set feet & legs and the firmly attached ud-<br />
ers are also a highlight.<br />
WEU<br />
At this year’s Konvent in Oldenburg, 8 juvenile<br />
looking second crop daughters from<br />
our protein specialist Stylist were shown.<br />
The heifers, which are of average dairy<br />
type, show enough frame with good body<br />
proportions. The good position of the<br />
rumps needs to be mentioned. As for feet &<br />
legs, which were impressive for set and angle,<br />
these young cows were able to move<br />
correctly on their excellent feet. The group<br />
reflected the good udder transmission of<br />
the sire. The well-attached udders were<br />
carried by a strong suspensory ligament<br />
and showed good teat placement. The udder<br />
floor is clearly above the hocks with average<br />
rear udder height. In total, 6 daughters<br />
from the test period of the outcross bull<br />
Truman, who is strong for type, were presented<br />
in the show ring. The elegant cows,<br />
in their 3 rd lactation, were framy and<br />
equipped with lots of body which is very<br />
reminiscent of the dam’s sire Lee, regarding<br />
their strength. The rumps, which vary in position,<br />
were impressive for their good<br />
width. The Truman-daughters moved very<br />
well on their high quality feet & legs. The<br />
3 rd lactation daughters of Truman shown in Oldenburg<br />
udders which are sometimes somewhat<br />
shorter in the fore, are firmly attached and<br />
carried by a strong suspensory ligament so<br />
although teat placement can sometimes<br />
vary, teat length is very correct.<br />
The interesting newcomer Sorento was represented<br />
by 6 daughters from the test period<br />
which were strong in body. The heifers<br />
are of average dairy type and showed<br />
good strength and enough frame. They<br />
moved on good, parallel set and strong<br />
feet&legs with good feet. The group had<br />
great udders, attached medium-high in the<br />
rear with good suspensory ligaments which<br />
reflect the high will to milk of the Sorentodaughters.<br />

Leko 811087 TLTV<br />
(Laudan x Jocko Besne x Mtoto x Slocum)<br />

<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
Toscano is currently the highest conformation sire in <strong>German</strong>y as Van Gogh<br />
has passed away. His debut was already good in August and he has now<br />
made a big leap to RZE 144 with additional daughters. Like the bull himself,<br />
the daughters show fantastic type with lots of size, depth and strength. The<br />
rumps also impress for width and position. feet & legs are faultless with extremely<br />
good feet and outstanding locomotion. The udders are very high and<br />
firm in the rear. His elegant daughters’ uniformity is praised over and over<br />
again. Toscano descends from a Canadian cow family which is not yet well<br />
known. His dam is one of the best Champion-daughters from the test period.<br />
Toscano is more than a pure conformation sire with RZM 109 and +813kg<br />
milk. The positive fat transmission of +0.16% is a much respected additional<br />
plus. Despite the outstanding capacity and strength of his daughters, Toscano<br />
can be recommended for use on heifers and sexed semen will be available<br />
in the future.<br />
Gandolf 144494 TLTV<br />
(Goldwin x Manat x Rudolph x Starbuck)<br />
aAa: 423561<br />
aAa: 423156<br />
Gandolf is No.3 of all the Goldwin-sons and the most balanced of them. His<br />
production transmission, for the son of the Canadian conformation specialist,<br />
is exceptionally high with +1,152kg milk and this even with a good fat<br />
and protein ratio (RZM 120, 96 daughters). The linear does not show any<br />
weaknesses. The well-developed Gandolf-daughters are very balanced, of<br />
average capacity, but juvenile and promising. The clean feet & legs show a<br />
parallel set and the feet are of a quality which is clearly above average. The<br />
faultless udder transmission of Gandolf is also outstanding with very high rear<br />
udders as well as long and firm fore udders. For functional traits, Gandolf<br />
does not show any weaknesses either. The udder health is clearly above average<br />
(RZS 112) and also the other fitness traits tend to be good. So Gandolf<br />
is an excellent all-rounder for widespread use.<br />
aAa: 651243<br />
Leko is now the highest of 332 daughter proven Laudan-sons worldwide,<br />
with RZG 141. He descends from the currently very successful Italian cow<br />
Jockobenge who is attracting interest across Europe with several highly positive<br />
sons. Leko now has 110 daughters, which give him a breeding value<br />
for production of RZM 124 and because of that he is one of the best Laudansons<br />
in this area, too. Leko was even able to clearly improve for conformation<br />
to RZE 128, compared to his debut in August. The medium-sized Lekodaughters<br />
show lots of strength and depth. The udders are attached high and<br />
firm in spite of the high production of +1,505kg milk. The absolute highlight<br />
in the linear are feet & legs. They are perfectly angled and end in high hoofs<br />
with clean bones. Locomotion is excellent. With a very good udder health<br />
(121) the high predicted longevity, genomically too, (RZN 127) is not surprising.<br />
Leko is not only an international sire of sons, but also a sire who can<br />
be used widely as he is easy calving and has good figures for all main traits.<br />

<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
New breeding values December 2010<br />
For the first time, the results of the winter<br />
breeding value evaluation are published in<br />
December as a result of the new Interbull<br />
schedule. There are some remarkable<br />
changes in the rankings. As sires of sons,<br />
Goldwin and Shottle are responsible for the<br />
most interesting newcomers. Among the Red<br />
Holsteins, the first Colby-Red-sons look interesting.<br />
Holstein<br />
Omega (Lynbrook Jancen ET; O-Man x Manat)<br />
is leader of the list with an increase of 9<br />
RZG points. This enormous gain is based on<br />
6 more points for production (RZM 136) and<br />
better longevity (131, +14). For conforma-<br />
Omega-daughter Otella, 2 nd La<br />
tion, he is constant and a typical O-Man-son<br />
with good feet&legs. He is followed by Snowman.<br />
Mascol is at No.3 and he was even<br />
able to increase with now more than 20,000<br />
daughters. The second crop daughters are<br />
now bringing much direct longevity information<br />
(RZN 132, +5). ALH Duke is an other O-<br />
Man-son in the Top-5. Gibor, who has the<br />
same RZG with 141 and reliability of 99%, is<br />
now at No.5 with 16,000 daughters. Leko, at<br />
No.6, is able to retain his position as the highest<br />
Laudan-son and increases by 4 points for<br />
RZE and RZS. Radon at No.7 is also a clear<br />
winner of this run with +7 RZG points. His<br />
daughters are now at the beginning of their<br />
3 rd lactation and bring higher production figures<br />
(RZM 129, +5) and improved longevity<br />
(RZN 115, +4) resulting in an increase of 13<br />
places. Another O-Man-son, Omajo, enters<br />
the Top-10 with his RZM 134 (+2,053 kg<br />
milk) at No.8. Wizzard is unchanged at<br />
No.9. The highest Shottle-son is Scaloni at<br />
No.10 for production (RZM 131, +5), conformation<br />
(RZE 129, +11) and udder health<br />
(RZS 116, +4) he increased.<br />
New bulls<br />
A pleasing development can be seen in the already<br />
heavily used Gandolf (Goldwin x Tugolo)<br />
with RZE 128 (+6) as well as Van Gogh<br />
(Goldwin x Rudolph) who is top leader for<br />
overall conformation with an RZE 149. Unfortunately,<br />
this exceptional sire passed away<br />
recently and there is only very limited semen<br />
in stock. Scalli (No.20) is a Shottle-son out of<br />
Braedale Anneka, an Allen-sister of Goldwin.<br />
He transmits positive components (RZM 120)<br />
as well as good conformation (RZE 121). Udder<br />
health is outstanding with RZS 131.<br />
Gateway (s. Goldwin) is an all-rounder out<br />
of a daughter from Monluel (s. Fatal). He<br />
combines RZM 125 (protein +0.10%) with<br />
RZE 122 and RZS 110. Dunar at No.22 is<br />
one of the first Duplex-sons worldwide.<br />
Dunar, suitable for use on heifers, transmits<br />
lots of size and capacity with very good<br />
feet&legs (RZE 131). For production, he will<br />
not go unnoticed with RZM 122 (+0.16% protein).<br />
Although with only low reliability, he still<br />
has good values for daughter fertility (RZR<br />
110) and longevity (RZN 120). Through<br />
Snooker RC (No.34), Shottle blood is also<br />
available for Red Holstein breeding. His dam<br />
is a red Stadel-daughter from Andries who is<br />
the full sister to the solid Red Holstein sire<br />
Starfire. The first Mascol-sons are in the top<br />
list: Mendez (No.39) and Maputo (No.165).<br />
Brigade (No.40) is also very interesting. This<br />
Best-son descends via Durham and Prelude<br />
from the Bell Tammy-family. Brigade is a sire<br />
for conformation (RZE 136) and components<br />
(+0.47% fat, +0.14% protein; RZM 122). His<br />
quality was also demonstrated by his first<br />
progeny group shown at the “EuroTier 2010”<br />
exhibition in Hanover. Gerke, Alex, Goldoran,<br />
Goldriver, Gemello and Gallier are<br />
among the other Goldwin-sons that should be<br />
mentioned. Gerke (RZM 122, RZE 124;<br />
Leko-daughter Lekola<br />
No.61) is out of the full sister of Jardin. The<br />
well-known Snow-N Denises Dellia is the basis<br />
of the success of Goldoran (RZM 107, RZE<br />
129; No.129). Sieben (RZM 112, RZE 125;<br />
No.68) is out of an Aaron-sister of Emil II from<br />
the Grietje-family. Sabari (RZM 112, RZE<br />
136; No.105) is the Shottle-brother of Girod<br />
ALL (No.67) and Tequila RF (RZE 125) out of<br />
Rubens Carla EX 94. The family of Svensson<br />
(RZM 121, RZE 122; No.119) has already<br />
produced Tiramisu (No.112, +2,038 kg<br />
milk). Shulan (RZM 125, RZE 124; No.121)<br />
Tiramisu-daughter Tina<br />
comes from the combination Shottle x Jocko<br />
Besne, too. NOG Setos (RZM 117, RZE 123;<br />
No.170) descends via Fatal from Leadman<br />
Illinda and so from the same family as Leif.<br />
Sottrum (RZM 113, RZE 131; No. 176) and<br />
NOG Molo (RZM 131, RZE 114; No.130)<br />
come from the same family. NOG Molo is a<br />
Modest-son out of the Steven-sister of the dam<br />
of Sottrum. Jelbas makes his debut at<br />
No.140, as the highest Jefferson-son worldwide.<br />
He ranks a little higher than his sire Jefferson.<br />
He transmits positively for protein and<br />
udder health.<br />
Well-known bulls<br />
Compared to August, the weighting of<br />
daughter information, which is combined with<br />
the genomic values, has been increased in<br />
favour of the conventional breeding values.<br />
Lemmna wins 7 RZG points to 134. He is the<br />
second highest Laudan-son after Leko.<br />
(No.35). Lancelot-son Lanon gains for RZG<br />
by 5 points (RZM 133, RZE 118; No.45) and<br />
Seramis (No.54) improves by 9 RZG points<br />
to 132 (RZM 121, RZE 132). Zar (No.56)<br />
owes his slight increase to the daughters in 3 rd<br />
lactation (RZM 128, +3). Truman increases,<br />
in particular, his RZN (123, +10) and goes up<br />
with RZG 132 to No.57. The Goldwin-son,<br />
Garrelt, increases his daughter count to 111<br />
and stays very constant (RZM 118, RZE 115,<br />
RZS 122; No.64). The Shottle-son Samburu<br />
gains slightly for all important traits (RZM<br />
119, RZE 125; No.66). Rotary (No.82)<br />
gains for production (RZM 115) and excels<br />
especially in the functional traits (RZS 129,<br />
RZN 123). Laudan-son Lauber has clearly<br />
improved for conformation to RZE 120 and<br />
presents himself as a very good all-rounder<br />
(No.85). Mendoza at No.89, is the highest<br />
Manager-son because of gains for conformation<br />
(RZE 119) and production (RZM 123). Titanic-son,<br />
Tilo, (RZM 112, RZE 131; No.142)<br />
has certainly improved, especially his breed-<br />

ing value for longevity which went up to<br />
RZN 118. The same is true for Aspen<br />
(No.161; RZN 112, RZM 121, RZE 119).<br />
Cassano (No.162) improves slightly due to<br />
improved udder health (RZS 119, +4).<br />
Toscano, (Titanic x Champion) who was new<br />
in August, jumps to RZE 144 and is the second<br />
highest conformation sire after Van<br />
Toscano-daughter Troja<br />
Gogh. Omro, one of the oldest O-Man-sons,<br />
who are stronger in conformation, now has<br />
177 daughters (RZM 117, RZE 115;<br />
No.222). The early Shottle-sons, Silvano<br />
and Sedan cannot maintain their production<br />
level, but they slightly increase for RZE to 120<br />
and 131. NOG Macau (No.230), Zenjo<br />
and Sallas do not yet have second crop<br />
daughters and stay constant. Strobel wins 3<br />
RZG points to 119. The same can be said for<br />
Zabing RC (RZE 139).<br />
High reliability<br />
Bobas at No.19 gets second crop daughters<br />
and improves slightly (RZM 132, RZE 108).<br />
Jardin is very constant for RZG (No.23) with<br />
now total 6,341, but he increases a bit for<br />
RZS to 100. Laudan had to allow his best<br />
sons to overtake him but he still has an impressive<br />
RZG 131 (No.62) with more than<br />
50,000 daughters. Stylist triples his daughter<br />
count and gains for RZG to 131 (No.75).<br />
Emil II (No.155) and Leif (No.160) are able<br />
to bring their daughter count up to more than<br />
13,000 and 12,000 respectively with unchanged<br />
figures. Juwel gets many second<br />
crop daughters for the first time (RZG 125).<br />
The daughter count of Monami grows slowly<br />
but constantly (RZG 125, +2; No.212).<br />
500 new daughters are the reason why<br />
Eleve’s figures for production (RZM 110)<br />
and conformation (RZE 129) decrease slightly,<br />
but the daughters from the test period<br />
make the RZN increase to 106. Alliance has<br />
almost 500 daughters and increases slightly<br />
for production and the already high conformation<br />
(RZM 98, RZE 140). He is No.1 bull<br />
with high reliability for conformation. �<br />

<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
Red Holstein<br />
Tocar improves his figures with additional<br />
daughters from 2 nd crop. As a result of this, he<br />
extends his lead to 5 points with RZG 139<br />
(RZM 143, RZE 111). Jerudo also gets his first<br />
new daughters. The production and daughter<br />
fertility which increased slightly, promise more<br />
(RZM 124, RZE 119; No.2). Maximo-Red<br />
now is No.3. Kairo can clearly gain a lot<br />
(RZM 129, RZE 118; No.4), especially for udder<br />
health (RZS 110) and longevity (RZN<br />
111). Furthermore, this specialist for components<br />
impresses for functionality. Malvoy<br />
doubles his daughter count and goes up for<br />
RZE to 117 (RZM 126; No.5). One of the biggest<br />
winners is Tonikum (Talent x Rubens<br />
Red). Now he is the highest available red conformation<br />
sire with RZE 137 and also with<br />
RZM 112, RZS 116 as well as RZN 123: a real<br />
all-rounder with a reliability of 85%. Kiska<br />
goes up as his daughters are now in 3 rd lactation<br />
and also improved for longevity (RZM<br />
120, RZE 117, RZN 111; No.7). Tableau<br />
(No.8) is also able to improve and he is a very<br />
complete Talent-son (RZM 119, RZE 127). He<br />
confirms the high, predicted longevity with<br />
Tonikum-daughter Knolle<br />
RZN 120 through his daughters which are<br />
now in 2 nd lactation. The outcross sire, Westpoint<br />
(Westwind x Kian), gains for conformation<br />
(RZE 120, No.9).<br />
New<br />
The highest newcomer in the Top-10 is Clox.<br />
He is the first Canvas-son and offers a different<br />
pedigree on the maternal side with Jerom<br />
x Windsor x Lastrup. Clox combines lots of<br />
milk with good protein (RZM 130), excellent<br />
functionality and solid conformation (RZE<br />
120). At No.12, the first Colby-son, La<br />
Crosse, makes his debut with fantastic pro-<br />
duction transmission of +1,608kg milk and<br />
+0.11% protein (RZM 133). His dam is a sister<br />
of Malvoy. The second new Colby-son in<br />
the top list, Castory (No.38), is clearly higher<br />
for conformation with RZE 130. Furthermore<br />
he has good production figures (RZM 115).<br />
He descends from the family of Laurel (13,000<br />
daughters, No.58). Alicio is the third highest<br />
newcomer (No.17). Refrain (Reno 2 x Stadel;<br />
No.41) with RZE 111, transmits lots of milk,<br />
with milkability clearly above average. Seedorf<br />
at No.70 (RZE 120, RZM 117) is a late<br />
September-son from the family of world<br />
champion Tarona EX 96.<br />
Well known<br />
Among the well-known sires, Serano is now<br />
No.11 with 276 daughters from the test in<br />
<strong>German</strong>y and Denmark (RZM 121, RZE<br />
112). The figures of Taurus increase a lot<br />
(RZM 117, RZE 127, RZS 101, RZN 117,<br />
RZG 126, +5; No.13). Talero also improves<br />
for production (RZM 113; No.69), but slightly<br />
loses for conformation (RZE 127). Both have<br />
now daughters in 2 nd lactation. The first sons<br />
of Ludox (No.15, 6,225 daughters)<br />
are coming, but they cannot<br />
come up to the sire. Tapas still has<br />
high figures for conformation (RZE<br />
111, No.16) and being the strongest<br />
Talent-son for production with<br />
RZM 126. DRH Seoul (September<br />
x Rudi-Red) has only information<br />
from 125 daughters from the test in<br />
Denmark so far. Regarding the additional<br />
genomically supported<br />
breeding values, he goes up a lot<br />
to RZG 125 which would be good<br />
for a place in the Top-20 (RZM<br />
118, RZE 119, RZS 120, RZN<br />
106). Carmano has more than 5,000<br />
daughters and increases by one point for RZE<br />
to 133 (No.28). Keel is an interesting Komturson<br />
who clearly improves for all conformation<br />
traits and increases by 11 points to RZE 135.<br />
Faromir gets his first 49 new daughters and<br />
returns to the Top-50 at No.44. Stabilo at<br />
No.45 now has 379 daughters and is very<br />
constant (RZM 115, RZE 115). Rugny<br />
(No.47), Ruleto (No.54) and Tiscali (No.73)<br />
do not yet have new daughters. Aval makes<br />
gains to RZM 109 (RZE 128). Lypoll P is still<br />
a very popular polled bull with RZM 106 and<br />
RZE 122 .�
Suarez 811100 TLTV<br />
(Shottle x Jocko Besne x Storm x Blackstar)<br />
<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
Shottle already has 363 daughter proven sons worldwide. Suarez is in the<br />
Top-10 with RZG 134. Suarez’s overall transmission is quite similar to his famous<br />
sire’s. There is a sister of Suarez, classified VG 86 when she was 2<br />
years old, with more than 11,500 kg milk and 3.6% protein. The 87 Suarezdaughters<br />
so far are tall with lots of strength and capacity. Suarez transmits<br />
optimally angled feet & legs, even better than Shottle himself who transmitted<br />
somewhat more angle. Udders are carried very high from which Suarezdaughters<br />
give lots of milk (+1,535kg, RZM 119). The udders are high in the<br />
rear and have a long fore attachment. Teat placement is perfect and not too<br />
tight in the rear. Suarez has clearly improved for conformation compared to<br />
his first daughter breeding value in August (His progeny group immediately<br />
impressed the audience at the show “Blickpunkt Rind” in Paaren and was<br />
chosen as best progeny of the show). There are further clear gains for Suarez<br />
for udder health now with RZS 127. The Suarez-daughters show a very<br />
good temperament with average milkability.<br />
Tonikum 597197 TLTV<br />
(Talent 2 x Rubens-Red x Clifhanger x Storm)<br />
Tonikum is one of the highest improvers of the December proof run, having<br />
entered for the first time in August with only 29 daughters included in the genomically<br />
supported breeding value. He gained, in particular, for conformation<br />
to RZE 137 and now with 63 daughters, has become the highest available<br />
conformation sire for the Red Holsteins. The cow family’s conformation<br />
power which stands behind Tonikum is also confirmed by other sons. Tonikum<br />
is impressive for production transmission with RZM 112 (protein +0.12).<br />
Good udder health (RZS 116) and high values for calving ease, milkability<br />
and temperament slightly above average, complete the good all-round potential.<br />
In particular, Tonikum’s udder transmission is outstanding and faultless<br />
in all traits. The tall daughters, with good feet & legs, also show great<br />
development potential.<br />
Top-class polled genetics<br />
Polled animals offer breeders many advantages,<br />
but so far there has been a lack of<br />
bulls which were able to combine these advantages<br />
with good breeding values. The<br />
sole exception was our Red Holstein bull,<br />
Lypoll P – a production sire with very good<br />
conformation figures and, most importantly,<br />
the gene for being polled.<br />
As genomic selection has found its way into<br />
<strong>German</strong> Holstein breeding, we can now<br />
give breeders of both breeds more alternatives<br />
to the still popular bull Lypoll P.<br />
Among the young red bulls, Laron P should<br />
be mentioned first. He is a Red Holstein allrounder<br />
of the highest level who has an<br />

plete transmission profile.<br />
Amongst the others, the red bull Ipod-P (s.<br />
Goldwin-son Mitey-P) as well as red carrier<br />
Magna P RF (s. Bolton) are of interest in<br />
this sector with the variation in pedigrees,<br />
typical for <strong>GGI</strong>. They are both characterized<br />
by being fitness sires who are strong<br />
for conformation. Furthermore we can also<br />
offer you the Holstein sire Fivestar (s. FBI).<br />
Bulls like Premium-P, who is strong for production<br />
and Lypoll P-son, Logo-PP, have a<br />
special status among the polled sires. These<br />
bulls have the sought-after homozygous<br />
gene and, therefore breed solely polled<br />
offspring.<br />

Goldday 635357 TLTV<br />
Goldday is, overall, one<br />
of the highest genomically<br />
tested bulls so far with gRZG 146 and the best<br />
of his year group. This late Goldwin-son descends<br />
from what is currently the most popular<br />
cow family of the world: the family of Markwell<br />
Durham Daisy EX 92. Goldday descends<br />
from 6 generations of outstanding breeding<br />
cows, having an average classification of EX<br />
92. The sons of this branch of the legendary<br />
Raven-family are dominating the top lists<br />
worldwide at the moment, showing that the<br />
combination with O-Man turned out to be<br />
very successful. Goldday’s dam, Destiny, also<br />
shows exactly this combination of excellent<br />

conformation and good fitness traits. She is considered to be one of the best O-Man-daughters<br />
in the world. Goldday is a complete all-rounder. Besides very good conformation and excellent<br />
breeding values for the fitness traits, he also impresses with his figures for production. In addition<br />
to the high milk yield, his positive protein transmission is really good.<br />
Router 675897 TLTV<br />
Router is the highest<br />
Roumare-son in <strong>German</strong>y<br />
and has a very complete transmission profile.<br />
His dam, Haribo, was bred in a very interesting<br />
way and is a Ramos-daughter who was used<br />
as bull dam for several breeding programs because<br />
of her extreme will to milk. Router stands<br />
for fitness and functionality. His breeding value<br />
for udder health (gRZS 130) is outstanding and<br />
he also sets benchmarks for longevity (gRZN<br />
130). With regard to his breeding value for<br />
production, he has good milk yield and especially<br />
excels with positive protein transmission<br />
(+0.15%) and a good fat protein ratio. Router’s<br />
strengths for conformation are feet&legs and<br />
(Roumare x Ramos x Linus x Baron)<br />
aAa: 615234<br />
udder in which he transmits a wide rear teat placement, which is favoured on many farms. Without<br />
O-Man in his pedigree, Router shows excellent figures for fitness and functionality and is, therefore,<br />
a good alternative for many breeders. Router is a sire for widespread use.<br />
Carmelito 917330 TLTV<br />
Carmelito has an interesting<br />
pedigree as a son of<br />
our top-class sire Carmano and descends<br />
from a deep, <strong>German</strong> cow family. Besides<br />
many successful show cows, the family of the<br />
dam Iliane (s. Joyboy) proved its breeding<br />
qualities, in particular, with the top seller Leif<br />
(> 12,000 daughters worldwide). Carmelito is<br />
one of the highest Carmano-sons with gRZG<br />
134 and the one who may reflect best his sire’s<br />
transmission qualities. A chip off the old block,<br />
Carmelito, is one of the best conformation<br />
sires (gRZE 132) in the overall rankings of the<br />
genomically tested Red Holstein sires and has<br />
a top listing in the field of fitness as well. He<br />

has highly positive values for udder health (gRZS 122) and longevity (gRZN 121) and he combines<br />
this with very good production figures. His linear is very balanced at a high level and<br />
makes him an outstanding udder sire. Carmelito is an all-round sire that offers production,<br />
fitness and good conformation.<br />

Laron-P 923151 TLTV<br />
14<br />
<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
Laron-P is the highest Lawn Boy-son in <strong>German</strong>y with gRZG 137 and offers a<br />
pedigree which can hardly be bettered. He descends from the Shottle-daughter<br />
Shiney RF, who is in turn out of a Durham with the red factor and has his<br />
roots in the proven Splendor-family. Besides this unique sire line-up, Laron-P can offer another special<br />
characteristic as he is heterozygous polled and has therefore already been used as a sire of<br />
sons worldwide. His genomic breeding values show him to be a real fitness sire with very good<br />
udder health (gRZS 114) and longevity (gRZN 122). Moreover, he impresses with high milk yield<br />
and positive components (gRZM 121). His linear shows no weaknesses and Laron-P has especially<br />
good figures for udder transmission. Laron-P<br />
provides new opportunities for Red Holstein<br />
breeders – due to his pedigree and the polled<br />
gene – without cutting back on production or<br />
conformation.<br />
A new RZFit top<br />
list is published,<br />
together with<br />
the December<br />
breeding value evaluation. You will find below<br />
the Top-20 of the available <strong>GGI</strong> Holstein<br />
sires and the Top-10 of the available<br />
<strong>GGI</strong> Red Holstein sires. Among the Holsteins,<br />
there are only small changes. Leko<br />

Many excellent daughters worldwide<br />
2010 was a very successful year for our<br />
sires. Not only the bulls themselves impressed<br />
breeders all over the world, but their<br />
daughters were also able to leave their<br />
mark. We would like to introduce some of<br />
these beauties to you.<br />
The beautiful Cassano-daughter Purzel<br />
scored EX 90 in her 3 rd lactation. She got<br />
an outstanding 91 points for her feet &<br />
legs. She is housed in the barn of the Seelhorst<br />
and Wendeln GbR and is the first<br />
Cassano-daughter from the test period to<br />
be scored “excellent”. If you saw this great<br />
progeny group at the DHV Show 2009,<br />
you will probably agree that she will not be<br />
the last to be thus classified.<br />
Purzel reached a 305 days production of<br />
11,844 kg with 4.10% fat and 3.23% protein<br />
in her 2 nd lactation.<br />
In Ireland, the impressive Gibor-daughter<br />
JL Diana (s. Alliance)<br />
Mascol-progeny convince<br />
audience at NRM in Holland<br />
For the first time, a group of Mascoldaughters<br />
from second crop was presented<br />
at NRM in Holland on June 25 th 2010.<br />
This group included 6 uniform, solid heifers<br />
that convinced both at the booth and<br />
in the ring. They represented at best the typical<br />
Mascol-progeny: solid, harmonic<br />
heifers of enough size. The heifers showed<br />
an optimal rump and good condition, and<br />
they moved on dry feet & legs with very<br />
good claws though. Udders were of best<br />
quality with good attachment. The suspensory<br />
ligament and teat placement were<br />
very good.<br />

<strong>German</strong> Holsteins news<br />
Killua GB Baler (Gibor x Brett x Baler Twine)<br />
was classified EX 92. She is housed at<br />
the farm of John Cunnane of the Lynbrook<br />
herd and stands out with her excellent type<br />
and outstanding production. Several interesting<br />
sons are already housed in Irish<br />
A.I. studs.<br />
Killua GB Baler (s. Gibor)<br />
The first Alliance-daughter from the test period<br />
also scored “excellent” in her 3 rd lactation<br />
in 2010. JL Diana impressed with<br />
lots of type and enormous body capacity<br />
and got a total score of EX 91 after a<br />
single classification of 91-94-90-89.<br />
JL Diana completed her 2 nd lactation with a<br />
milk production of 11,464 kg milk with<br />
3.81 % fat and 3.19 % protein.<br />
Rustler-Red scored EX 97<br />
On June 29 th 2010, the well-known sire<br />
Rustler-Red scored with amazing EX 97 –<br />
classified by the Classification Commission<br />
in the US – at the age of 11 years and 3<br />
months. Rustler-Red seems to be the highest<br />
classified Red Holstein sire alive<br />
worldwide now. But not only the bull himself<br />
convinces with his classification. Rustlerdaughters<br />
in Great Britain are classified in<br />
average 2 points higher for conformation<br />
than their dams and they show impressively<br />
the outstanding conformation transmission<br />
of the sire. And one of his daughters,<br />
Runland Rustler Mable-ET, recently scored<br />
EX 90 in the United States.<br />
