GENUS BEEF. PROVEN TO BE THE BEST.
GENUS BEEF. PROVEN TO BE THE BEST.
We take beef sire selection very seriously and understand that your business relies on your cows getting in calf and calving down easily. Cow health and welfare are paramount, but so is calf value and profitability. We pride ourselves on providing you with the industry’s most comprehensive and reliable Beef Calving Survey.
Nightingale Ploughman, a Diamond Sire
The Genus Beef Calving Survey... proven, reliable, the best!
With at least 120 calvings recorded in 80 dairy herds, our beef sires are certified ‘proven’.
Rock Solid GeneticsWith more than 50,000 progeny, a sire reaches the acclaimed‘sapphire’ status.
Sapphire Sire100,000 progeny in a beef sires proof, means it has reached the legendary status of ‘diamond’ sire.
Diamond Sire
Genetic selection...
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...
Keeping standards high...
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.
Only 2% reach legendary diamond sire status, including Nightingale Ploughman, Chestnuts Umpire, Dinton Nautical, Aynho Beck, Balthayock Champion, Kramiek Et Ten Durme, Ronick Hawk, Killerton Travis, Brinkton Brilliant, Moorsley Anderson and Lorabar Mighty Prince.

GENUS BEEF. PROVEN TO BE THE BEST.
Beef sires that are ‘unproven’ are classed as ‘under survey’. This means that we are currently collecting data to measure calving ease, gestation length and calf quality. We advise you to take caution if using these young sires.
We measure each of these traits against the Genus ABS breed average, and then calculate a BSI score.
Example of calving survey table for British Blue sire Tamhorn Freeman, page 14. His BSI figures show he is above average for calving ease, average for gestation length, excellent for calf quality and below average for calf mortality.
UNDER
SURVEY
• The average score for the trait is 100 BSI points
• Bulls that are better than breed average will range from 101 - 130 BSI points
• Those that are below breed average will range from 70 - 99 BSI points
Whatever your choice of beef sire, rest assured our sires are reliably proven by dairy farmers for dairy farmers. something which sets Genus ABs Beef apart from the rest.

And that’s through a combination of expert selection and the most reliable calving data.
Our beef development manager, Arwel Owen, hand-picks bulls with the potential to enter our elite stud. We then prove each animal through the Genus beef calving survey.
We’ll only claim a bull as ‘easy calving’ if at least 97% of births are unassisted. Such integrity means you have the confidence to choose exactly the right sire for your dairy herd.
Everyone at Genus ABS is dedicated to profitable beef. To see how we can help you, call 0870 162 2000 or visit www.genusbreeding.co.uk

Heat detection and fertility all in one!
For more information please contact us on 0870 162 2000
Increasing reproductive performance can be tough.
When time and labour are under pressure, heat detection often suffers. Poor heat detection leads to low submission rates, fewer pregnancies and reduced profits. A focussed approach to breeding and reproductive efficiency will boost herd productivity and profits.
• Accurate real-time data every six minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!
• range of up to 2000 metres
• No need for gates / readers

Within recent years, there has been increasing interest by suckler farmers to breed their own herd replacements.
this is mainly due to the poor and variable quality of stock available to purchase and the bio-security risk associated with purchasing animals of unknown disease status.
A PotENtiAL MANAGEMENt soLUtioN...
replacement heifers are the life blood of every beef suckler herd, as these animals provide the opportunity to drive productivity through genetic improvement, long term. these animals deserve considerable attention to ensure they reach their full potential performance and this can be achieved through the use of quality genetics via sexed beef semen.
tHE BENEFits oF UsiNG GENUs ABs Ai ANd sEXEd BEEF sEMEN...
• opportunity to create 90% females from Ai (90% female sperm in each straw).
• calving ease of heifer calves born from Genus ABs selected sires with short gestation length and appropriate calving ease, both directly and in their daughters.
• Greater opportunity to calve at 24 months, due to potential calving ease of a heifer calf.
• Efficiently increases herd size.
• More animals for pregnancy to a terminal sire.
• Breed own heifers and create a closed herd.
• reduce disease risk from purchased females.
• increases control over replacement costs

tom cox, Bleaklow charolais, derbyshire...
Genus ABS sexed beef semen has offered me the opportunity to retain the best bloodlines in my herd and increase the speed of my genetic gain.
A high genetic easy calving bull from Genus ABS became available sexed which I used in my pedigree Charolais herd with great success, achieving a 78% conception rate.
Moving forward I would be more than happy to use sexed semen on my breeding heifers and best cows. This has allowed me to breed females of a higher genetic merit and ultimately have more heifer calves to retain as breeding stock from the best maternal lines, while still allowing me to retain my high herd health status. Tom Cox
the cowan Brothers, Blaencwmpridd, dyfed...
We were faced with an aging herd and needed to increase the flow of replacements. Not keen to buy in replacements with the disease risk being involved, the decision was taken to use AI and Genus ABS sexed beef semen.
AI and sexed semen has allowed us to select bulls with strong maternal traits. In the first year we used just conventional semen, but for the last two years we’ve used sexed semen, which has significantly increased our chances of getting heifers from heifers.
The system now, is first service to sexed semen. Last year we achieved 68% conception rate to sexed semen and this year it was 72%. Second service is to conventional semen and then we let the bull sweep up so we have a concentrated breeding window of six weeks.
This year overall we got 92% in calf to AI which has tightened our heifer calving period and means we will have a nice even batch of heifers to rear and calve at 24 months of age.
