spermex german brown swiss - top sires 2011

Dear Breeders, Partners and Brown Swiss Enthusiasts around the world,

we are glad to present you our new catalogue of the best German Brown Swiss sires with their proofs from thelatest Interbull run in December 2010.

Within the past year the introduction of genomic proofs for Holsteins and some other breeds was one of themajor items in cattle breeding. Genomic selection will become for sure a very important tool for all modernbreeding programs and also in the Brown Swiss breed we look forward to get reliable genomic values in2011/2012. But independent of the proper implementation of genomic proofs into the breeding programs wehave to consider the most important requirement of the majority of the dairy farmers world-wide:

RELIABILITY

Using genomics, young bulls will be more reliable as in the past and the genetic progress will be improved. However we shall not forget on the other hand that thecommercial dairy farmers need A.I. bulls with reliable figures in all important performance, type and fitness traits to produce the profitable and uncomplicated cow which fits everywhere. This kind of serious selection will stay our main target so that also in the future you can be sure to rely on the best German Brown Swiss genetics, no matter if you take young sires, proven sires or bulls which already havesecond crop results.

Moreover we will continue in Germany to make a second type scoring for the offspring of the most importantsires in the third lactation to get even more information which bulls sire the longlasting and therefore mostprofitable cows.

The well balanced conformation and strong feet & legsare the basis for the excellent durability of the BrownSwiss cow. In the past 10 years the average lifetimeproduction of the German Brown Swiss cows hasincreased from 21,000 to almost 26,000 kg milk. Statistics from Bavaria indicate that Brown Swiss havea remarkable higher lifetime production in comparisonto all other dairy breeds in the same area. In combina-tion with a high share of roughage intake Brown Swisscan refer to the lowest production cost per kg milk in the statistics. The flat lactation curve avoids extremeproduction peaks in which the energy intake can’t cover

the demand. This is the reason for a stable metabolism of the Brown Swiss cows which finally leads to the bigplus of the German Brown Swiss:

LONGEVITY

In Germany Brown Swiss cows almost complete one lactation more than the average of all dairy cows and no otherbreed has such a high average lifetime production and such a high rate of 100,000 l cows.

The Eco-index-list pays special attention to this ability of the Brown Swiss to sire easy handling, longlastingcows:Major constitution traits such as persistency, performance increase in further lactations, fertility, calvingease and longevity have a higher emphasis in the Eco index. Actual top bulls in this special list are Jubev, Prossli, Etpat (M*), Huray, Prejula and Juleng.

ADAPTATION

Due to the natural conditions in the Alps, the origin of the Brown Swiss, with a widerange in its climate and a difficult surface of the landscape in which the young cattlehave to walk long distances, the Brown Swiss have excellent adaptation qualities. Due to the rearing system in the mountain area Brown Swiss start with moderate performances after the first calving but keep the yield very well over the whole lactation and have the capability to grow steadily with every following lactation which keeps the cow healthy and tough. These qualities of the German Brown Swissare well confirmed under various conditions all over the world.

Looking at the absolute figures you have to consider that about 80% of the German Brown Swiss cows are keptunder semi-intensive conditions in the lower and upper mountain areas of the Alps!

Ideal choice for CROSSBREEDING

The sum of the positive characteristics has lead to a steadilyrising number of farms using German Brown Swiss sires in crossbreeding with other dairy breeds. The F1-generation shows an extraordinary vitality, levels up the protein content inthe milk and gives easy handling cows. In the second crossbredgeneration the type comes closer to the purebred Brown Swisstype. In the table of contents on page 4 we have listed somerecommendations which bulls should suit best for the differentcrossbred systems and generations in combination withHolsteins, red breeds and Jersey.

Effective BREEDING PROGRAM

Germany’s breeding program is the largest in the world for BrownSwiss. Almost 200,000 Brown Swiss cows are under milk recordingin Germany and the A.I. studs Greifenberg, Memmingen andHerbertingen test about 125 Brown Swiss bulls annually (page 14). Several young sires are co-tested in other countries to get compa-rable results in different environments. The bull dams are selectedvery carefully. In 2009 the average production of the bull dams wasmore than 10,600 kg milk with 4.22% fat and 3.80% protein. Youngheifers of the next generation who promise an advanced geneticprogress are selected as well as older cows which have definitelyproven their qualities over the years.

Best genetics from all over the world are used under the special emphasis to keep the balance of performance,type and fitness (components of the total merit index - page 15).

VARIATION of BLOODLINES

plays another important role in the German breeding philo-sophy. By the use of various alternative bloodlines it waspossible to keep the inbreeding coefficient of the GermanBrown Swiss population on a moderate level in the past decade in spite of the strong progress which was achieved atthe same time. The 40 bulls presented in the catalogue have 21 different sires. Rare pedigrees are always an essential partof the breeding program.

We hope that the present collection of our German BrownSwiss top sires will find your interest and are certainlyconvinced that they will help to increase the profitability inyour herd and to manage the challenges of tomorrow!

Finally we would like to announce that the European Brown Swiss conference will be held in Germany in 2014.All interested people are kindly invited to come and visit Germany and get more detailed information about theGerman Brown Swiss population located in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

PL = lifetime production in kg milk till January 2011.

The ecological index (Eco-index) is a total merit index, which summarizes all available ancestry and performance information of a bull. It is a useful tool toselect suitable bulls for organic farming, since a particular emphasis is placed on longevity, persistence and further improvement of performance in eachlactation. At least 20 daughters in the third lactation are necessary for a bull to be listed after eco-index. Depending on the importance for performance,animal health and longevity, different weights are used for the calculation of the index. For further information on the eco-Index and its calculation, visit our homepage www.spermex.de or contact us [email protected]!

Furthermore we have included a table giving an overview about the suitability of each bull for the use in crossbreeding with different breeds: HF = Holstein, RB = Red Breeds, J = Jersey F1 = first crossbreed generation; F2 = second crossbreed generation; F3 = third crossbreed generation

PROHUVO defended his #1 position in the German top list within the past three estimations. The three main benefitscan be summarized easily with protein, feet&legs and fertility. The whole cow family of Prohuvo impresses by extre-mely high protein percentages of 4% and more and also by a very good fertility. The base cow Klara (sire: Brisowik)got 11 calves and produced 106,000 l milk in her lifetime. A progeny visiting tour was organised in January 2010.The 8 daughters we inspected confirmed the figures and also the linear description: They were mostly dairy in typebut had sufficient strength in the chest. Frame and type varied a bit according to the maternal basis. However allcows demonstrated a good harmony and functionality in their body. The rumps showed a correct inclination andwere longer as expected and wide enough. The strong pasterns and high foot angles have to be pointed out whereasthe hocks were not always quite clear. The rear legs tended to be a bit more straight. In the free space barns theProhuvo-daughters impressed by an excellent locomotion. The fore udders could have been a bit longer and the rearudders wider but were well attached. The whole udder attachment was high enough and the suspensory ligamentwas correct. Teat placement, length and thickness were ideal. Furthermore the udders showed a good texture andseem to milk out quite well. All breeders reported about an excellent milking speed. The Prohuvo-daughters werevery fertile and already pregnant again for a long time. Their owners described them as easy handling cows whodon’t need much attention. We are convinced that Prohuvo-daughters have the potential to get longlasting profitablecows in different environments. In crossbreeding systems we can recommend Prohuvo especially on Holsteins in F1and further crossing steps as well as for red breeds provided that enough frame and strength exist. He should not beused for heifer inseminations.

PROSSLI, the Pronto-son out of the former highest German index cow Hussli-Goldfee, was co-sampled in Austria, theNetherlands and Australia. His daughters are medium sized with a lot of dairyness. They could have had a bit morestrength in the chest but the group at the fair EuroTier in Hannover in 2008 demonstrated that they have the potentialto grow further and develop well during the first lactation. The backline could be stronger but the feet&legs areimpressive: Very dry hocks and strong pasterns combined with high enough foot angles and a very good locomotionqualify Prossli-daughters to be used in various barn and grazing systems. The udders of the Prossli’s are small with anice texture. The fore udder attachment is the weaker point of the udder composite but the rear udder attachment, thecentral ligament and the correct teat placement and length are strong benefits of Prossli. A sufficient milk perfor-mance is combined with high protein percentages and positive fitness figures. During the past two years Prossligained steadily in his productive lifetime index. With a PL-index of 130 he is the longevity-star. This underlines hisqualities to sire very functional, profitable and longlasting cows for all environments. In the new ECO-index-listProssli is # 2 thanks to his enormous constitution figures. Prossli can be used in purebreeding as well as in cross-breeding, especially on Holsteins he is able to add his special fitness qualities. In the Netherlands Prossli alreadybelongs to the top-3 for a certain time now. His crossbred daughters in Holland show a very similar breeding patternas the purebred cows in Germany. Prossli is used as sire of sons in several countries and also in crossbreedingsystems. We can highly recommend him for heifer inseminations.

VASIR-daughters have an enormous strong will for milking. They do not only convince through high performances inthe first lactations but also demonstrate a remarkable increase in second and third lactations. With +1434 kg milkVasir is still the leading performance bull in the German Brown Swiss breed in spite of the several basis adjustmentsduring his career. The high yields are combined with good fat and protein percentages. Further on Vasir combines lowsomatic cell counts with a high milking speed which is seldom to be found. A progeny visiting tour in 2008 was joinedby people from several European countries. The 12 inspected Vasir-daughters confirmed the performance qualitiesand the linear description very well: They were tall, long and dairy; sometimes there could have been a bit morestrength in the forehand. The backline was better than it could be expected from a Vinozak-son. The extremely strongpasterns and high foot angles have to be pointed out, the hocks were correct. In the udder traits the long and wellattached fore udders and the correct teat placement of the Vasir-daughters had to be emphasized quite positively. On the other hand the rear udder attachment could have been higher and wider. At the jubilee show in Buchloe (June2009) a group of 6 Vasir daughters confirmed the general feedback of the breeders that they are capable to developvery well with the second calving and that the rear udders of the Vasir daughters get a better attachment. Vasir isrecommended from us to be used in purebred Brown Swiss herds to improve the performance level and the locomotionas well as fore udder attachment and udder health. In crossbreeding systems with Holsteins we give him a preferenceto be used in F2 and F3 whereas we consider him also as a good crossbred partner for red breeds. The remainingstock of Vasir will be probably sold out within the next months.

PAYSSLI is actually the German top type scorer with a final scoring of 134 and an extremely balanced linear descrip-tion. Already at the national German show in Buchloe in spring 2010 he got a lot of attention with his consistentdaughter group but also afterwards Payssli impressed with an excellent farm visiting tour in summer and a progenygroup at a local show in the fall and as well at EuroTier in Hannover in November 2010. The cows demonstrated agood development during the lactation and always an impeccable udder quality. Now in December Payssli gainedagain 2 points in his TMI and 2 points in his final type score. This is meanwhile well confirmed by his daughters inAustria and Switzerland where we also get very positive response on Payssli’s daughters. Payssli combines sufficientmilk & protein potential with a lot of style, correct legs and lovely udders. Besides he is positive now in all fitnesstraits: Low somatic cell counts are combined with a good milking speed and as well persistency and stayability rateare high above average. The maternal calving ease index of 120 is actually the best of all German bulls and probablycaused by the long, wide enough and well sloped rumps of the Payssli-daughters. Further on they are in calf againsoon after calving. The combination of performance, type and fitness is very well appreciated by the owners of thePayssli-daughters. We actually recommend Payssli for purebreeding and all crossbreeding systems. His half-brotherPatriot seems to follow him in many ways. However his reliability is not high enough at the moment to make a definitemind so that we give a clear favour at the moment to Payssli.

In the past three years HURAY has been by far the most heavily used German Brown Swiss sire world-wide. Thepopularity is hardly surprising looking at Huray’s complete qualities: A strong will for milking is combined with anexcellent persistency during the lactation and a remarkable development in second and third lactations. Rememberingthe daughter group which we inspected in January 2008 it is easy to understand this impressive combination ofperformance and fitness: Huray-daughters show a good frame with dairy character on one hand but enough strengthand capacity on the other hand. Strong pasterns and high foot angles qualify the Huray-daughters as easy walking,functional cows for modern barns as well as for grazing systems. The rumps are long but a bit too sloped whichshould be taken into consideration for the mating. Well attached fore and rear udders keep the udders on a sufficientlevel in spite of the high performances. In the udder quality Huray can be considered as the best son of Hussli. Allfitness traits are average or better which shows that the Huray-daughters are able to stand the enormous yield withoutany health problems. This tendency is confirmed by the present ranking as # 4 in the Eco-index-list which lays moreemphasis on constitution traits and gives further lactations a higher value as in the total merit index. Tracing back thepedigree of Huray you will see that this combination of excellent performance and fitness can be found in the wholefamily. Dam Laura produced an average of 12,766 kg milk in 5.4 lactations and grand dam Lolina almost reached alifetime performance of 100,000 l with an average of more than 10,000 l. Huray can be recommended in purebreedingas well as in all crossbreeding systems on other dairy breeds like Holsteins, Jersey and red breeds. The easy borncalves from Huray show an extraordinary vitality and growth capacity. The first second crop daughters from Hurayare milking now and the present response on farms is quite positive. First figures can be expected in April 2011.

Due to his excellent allround qualities JULENG belonged to the most popular German Brown Swiss sires in the pasttwo years. He kept his proofs on a very stable level during this time which was basically caused by a very gooddevelopment from first to second and third lactations. High milk performances are combined with neutral components.This potential is well fixed in the cow family behind Juleng: Dam Playboy-Heriett (> 50,000 l lifetime with 3.8% protein) and grand dam Tradition-Henriett (> 60,000 l lifetime production with 3.7% protein) were both high perfor-ming cows. In May 2009 we had the opportunity to inspect 7 daughters of Juleng in first and second lactations whichshowed an outstanding uniformity: A lot of frame and an enormous strength in the forehand without loosing dairytype was the general impression. Backline and rear leg set were correct, only the hocks could have been clearer. Thefore udders were long and well attached and the udders showed a good texture. The teats tended to be a bit longerthan average. The owners were very satisfied with the Juleng-daughters and their excellent milking speed and charac-ter. Juleng can be highly recommended for heifer inseminations but also his daughters show very easy calvings. SoJuleng belongs to the few bulls who are able to combine these contrary traits positively. Another benefit which has tobe mentioned is the beef performance of the Juleng-sons. Whenever beef is not the most important trait in the BrownSwiss breed the higher income from the male calves is welcome and it also underlines that Juleng sires substance androbustness. The remaining straws of sexed semen from Juleng will be sold out within the coming weeks. However hestill produces conventional semen and as mentioned above: Farmers can profit from female and male calves of Juleng.
