Calving Survey Table

The table shows proven sires calving survey

results on dairy cows. Data is shown on a BSI

(Beef Sire Index) scale of 70 to 130. Breed average

is represented as 100. 70 - 99 is below average and 101 - 130 is classified

as above average.

Beef Directory Sire Page Guide... A handy guide for selecting the right sire for you.

We can identify young beef bulls that have the potential to transmit the traits we are looking for in a beef sire, by using EBV data. However, EBV data only relates to data collected on beef cows and is often based on small data sets.

We know that calving ease, gestation length, calf quality and calf mortality are the most important traits to a dairy farmer. To identify the truly elite beef sires for use on dairy cows, it is essential to gather significant data sets, and that’s where the Genus ABS Beef Calving Survey comes in.

Hundreds of young Genus ABS beef sires have been put through our calving survey and assessed by dairy farmers to achieve a ‘proven’ status. Our selection standard is high, around 90% of our beef sires are rejected because they don’t make the grade for our proven stud.

THE GENUS ABS BEEF CALVING SURVEY...

Genus ABS Breed Averages

All proven Genus ABS sires calving survey results, are compared with Genus

ABS breed averages, based on tens of years of

calving survey information.

Calf SurvivabilityThis trait demonstrates how many more calves

alive after 48 hours a sire is expected to give you.

SymbolsHelp to highlight important

information on sire trait strengths, royalties and

export status. For a more detailed explantions of

these, see the table on page one.

ReliabilityHighlights the number of

herds and calvings the sire has recieved proven status on. Our aim is to achieve

120 calvings over 80 herds, to classify as Rock Solid Genetics. Sires then go on to achieve Sapphire and Diamond status. See the table on page one for more information on these

classifications.

Proven StatusWhen a sire goes through our calving survey process he is classed as ‘proven’. Sires that are currently in the testing process

or have not completed our calving survey are

highlighted as ‘unproven’.

PedigreeFamily tree information

on the sire.

BSI ScoreBSI stands for Beef Sire

Index and is shown in the column above. You can

also find equivalent actual statistics for each trait too.

Poor heat detection leads to low submission rates, fewer pregnancies and reduced profits. A focussed approach to breeding and reproductive efficience will boost herd productivity and profits.
