🆕 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐐!
We’ve had our first Genosource 𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 & DeNovo 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚-𝑷 calves on the ground in the past few weeks, with more on the way.
Take a look at our Kersey Nimbus BBX calves - look out for them at @NWAuctions!

Had the pleasure of hosting #STgGermany🇩🇪 (@STgenetics) and @cogentbreeding this afternoon, focusing on genomics, beef on dairy and genetics 🧬
🐄 We lined up some of our milking Genosource Captain daughters who consistently outrank their peers in the parlour ⚡️

I’m being overrun with these A2P2’s, you can just about make out a few more behind this one, the calf rearer isn’t going to be happy!
Born yesterday, this girl from the Flirt family - A2P2 x Tropic. @cogentbreeding.
More Alanzo, Holysmokes & Hatchet calves due very soon 🧬
An Ayrshire update, who doesn’t like one of those!? 🤷♂️
Meet HH. Ringa’Suga, Ringer x Platinum EX91 x Burdette VG88
She scores +8 Canadian Conformation, plus a PTI of +440!
Our Ayrshire programme is managed by @Anna05721386 ✨

Bring it on 🙌

Some new boys in this proof’s edition! A bigger emphasis on international metrics and more balanced breeding to add in more functional type.

The HG Sire Shortlist for April 2022.
A collection of sires we think are the best on the market: six for dynamic breeders plus three for type.

This is something that I find frequently when out and about checking cows.
There are many positive reasons to provide your cows clean and fresh water 24-7!
Try hard to fit cleaning into your daily routines..!!!
There is payback……
A team of three sires make up our preliminary service sires for 2022 Q1, with room for another two to be added in February once available, this is to spread risk within our gene pool.
Newcomers include Peak AltaLumify + Mr Ajia Axl Hatchet to join Farnear Delta-Lambda.
With the release of non-genomic data last Friday, we got all excited as the No. 1 + No. 4 animals born since the start of November on PTA £PLI, hold a HighHopes prefix.
Both are sired by Genosource CAPTAIN (@cogentbreeding), with PTAs of £PLI850 and £PLI792 respectively. In regards to HighHopes Captain Golden, she is Captain x Crosby x AltaPainter and is understood to be one of a collection of early DeNovo CROSBY daughters milking, G£PLI756.
Genosource Captain, Fly-Higher Mellencamp & Peak AltaPlinko.
