<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 />

10<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 />

(Goldwin x O-Man x Durham x Luke)<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 />
