ABS Global expanded its protein sire lineup with the addition of one new Brown Swiss and two new Jersey sires following the August 2010 sire summary.

“ABS continues to increase its commitment to the Jersey breed by developing an expanded offering of proven sires possessing diverse genetics that meet the needs of all Jersey herds,” stated Scott Bentley, Global Dairy Product Manager. “The daughters of these new sires have impressed not only our team, but also the breeders which are finding the daughters to fit well into their operations.”

29JE3542 Gabys BALLARD-ET is an Action son that sires longevity (+4.2 PL) and daughter fertility.  Daughters possess outstanding udders (+2.61 JUI) carrying them high above the hock with high, wide rear udders.  BALLARD will also be offered in the ABS Sexation® sex-sorted semen lineup.

29JE3541 Fairway KLIPPER-ET is an udder improvement specialist (+2.27 JUI) siring functional udders that produce volumes of high quality milk.  KLIPPER daughters are sharp, angular individuals that track well on a correct set of feet and legs. KLIPPER is backed by a pedigree that sires long-lived, high scoring cows.

The Brown Swiss graduate, 29BS3807 Sun-Made Garbo VANGUARD, hails from a successful A.I. cow family made popular by VANGUARD’s grand dam—Genesis Even Victoria 3E-93.  VANGUARD daughters have well attached mammary systems and closely placed teats.
