BEEF SIRES 2020-21 I N T E R A C T I V E E D I T I O N
Philip Halhead, over the last 20 years, has focused on beef genetics with specific CALVING EASE attributes and CALF VALUE to maximise the returns for you, the dairy farmer.
Along with herds assigned to collecting data, Norbreck Genetics owns a 300 cow dairy herd in which they monitor closely the latest beef genetics and their suitability for crossing with dairy cows.
Semex priority is on fertility, calving ease and short gestation lengths combined with fast growth rates that allows BEEF on DAIRY to contribute to every modern dairy farm.
Working with partners in the supply chain to keep ahead of what the market demands, the collection of DATA is the future focus for the Semex team to ensure maximum value is achieved when using Semex beef.
The latest independent data from the AHDB/BCMS carcase traits project has returned Goodyhills Emperor as the Number 1 (semen available) British Blue bull from a huge data set on AVERAGE DAILY CARCASE GAIN (fast growth).
Philip is happy to help or advise any farmer on sire or breed choice.
Talk to our team today about superior beef sires at competitive prices.

The Beef Carcase Traits Project, funded by AHDB and HCC, uses data derived from the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS), abattoirs and breed societies to produce EBVs for traits of economic importance to commercial beef producers. A bull’s EBVs give you a good idea of the genetic potential that will be passed on to his calves and should be taken into consideration when choosing sires.
Since 2018, carcase trait EBVs have been produced on a quarterly basis by SRUC/EGENES from a dataset of over seven million carcase records.
HOW TO READ THE CHARTS
This Carcase Traits chart shows EBVs as horizontal red bars. Bars to the right of centre indicate fewer days to slaughter, heavier carcases, superior conformation, fatter carcases, and greater carcase growth.
