1 May 2012 No.26 light 6 times 100,000 litres: Heimat EX 90, Idea VG 86, Paula VG 87, Ines VG 87, Hofdame VG 86, Illana VG 87 Photo: Christine Massfeller Successful Holstein Events show Top of the Breed Bulls such as Gibor, Laudan, Leif and Mascol have set a trend in Holstein breeding, but the perfect mix of high will to milk, excellent fitness traits and good conformation have been rooted in German Holstein breeding for many years as is shown by this group of 6 cows on the farm of family Kleemann from northern Germany, East Friesland. All of them are classified VG or EX and have passed the magical total of 100 tons, and are still in the best of health. Further proof that RZG produces cows with outstanding conformation as well as vital and highly efficient animals was demonstrated at the shows at the end of 2011/beginning of The show season started with the show Blickpunkt Rind 2011 in Brandenburg. Around 100 animals competed for the grand champion title which was given in the end to the very harmonic SL Jazzdance. Another highlight of this show was the presentation of the daughter group of the outcross sire Eminem. His second crop daughters really impressed and scored particularly for their uniformity and outstanding udders. His daughter Emely was awarded best cow of the progeny. At the beginning of December, lots of interested breeders met at the show Nikolausschau Overall winner of this exciting competition was the well-known show cow and dam of the newcomer Mad Max: RH Maxima EX 94. A group of the outcross sire Cecon was shown. As well as lots of harmony and real elegance, Mad Max dam RH Maxima EX 94 the high udder quality of these animals with lots of development potential should be praised. At the HighlightSALE 2012, the first daughter group of the Red Holstein newcomer Selayo was presented. Daughters of this outcross sire underline this bull s qualities. The animals shown were juvenile with lots of frame, very good feet & legs and top-class udders. This year s WEU-Konvent 2012 once again had a group from Marbach. Besides the grand champion, LOH Nastygirl, he had other top animals at the show. Another very famous bull whose second crop daughters impressed was Cassano. His daughter group enthralled with frame and strength. For feet & legs and udder transmission, Cassano leaves nothing to be desired. As newcomer, daughters of the production sire Biarritz were shown. His daughters had enormous will to milk and convinced in every way. continued on next page

2 Continued: Successful Holstein Events show Top of the Breed At the show Neumünster am Abend, not only the best Holsteins competed against each other, but also animals of the Angler and Red Holstein dual purpose breeds. In total, 8 sires were represented by daughter groups: the all-rounders Terbium, Labiate and Sesterz, the conformation specialists Brigade and Zabing RC as well as the Red Holstein sires Faromir and Litera. Another group that impressed was the daughter group of the Angler superstar Haithabu. With such high quality in the progeny groups, it was hard for the judges to select the champion animal, but the Terbium daughter Kosta was the winner at the end. At Hessens Zukunft 2012, for the first time, a Jersey cow, Kendra, won a regional show. A further highlight was the daughter group of the top selling genomic bull Goldday. This group impressed in every way with lots of capacity and strength. Shottmar also showed a group of functional cows with good udders and excellent feet & legs. The show Excellent-Schau 2012 became a celebration of German genetics. Numerous daughters of German bulls triumphed in the different age classes. Alliance established his good reputation as the No. 1 conformation sire with several very good daughters. Two more recent sires were shown: Ronin (s. Roumare) and Bokito (s. Bolton). They breed functional, highly efficient cows with correct feet & legs and udders. At the annual heifer show Färsen-Schau in Bitburg, Carmano proved his domination of Red Holstein breeding. His daughters filled the top places in the Red Holstein classes over and over again. A group of the newcomer Selayo, co-tested in Canada, was shown once again. At the show Rind Aktuell 2012, Gunnar daughter Grandiose celebrated a highly acclaimed victory. Grandiose succeeded against very strong competition. The progeny shown impressed as well. Strobel and Zar showed exactly what breeders expect from these well-known proven bulls. In addition, daughters of the bull Brigade were presented and really excelled and scored with their uniformity. As newcomer, a daughter group of the bull NOG Mato was shown. The functionality and correctness of the juvenile animals should be praised here, too. Daughters of our bulls win, not only in Gunnar daughter Grandiose Germany, but, as well Joyboy daughter Highjoy, Carmano daughter Zamara and Eleve daughter Joella triumphed in Austria. The most beautiful cow in Estonia is the Faber daughter Lindi and Jefferson daughters dominate in Slovenia with record production and good conformation. Daughters of Jeff and Jardin had wins in the Netherlands and Alliance is a guarantor of good placings in Italy.

(DHV) 4 th December "Breeding value estimation December 2012" 6 th December "Nikolausschau", Bismark Rinderzuchtverband Sachsen-Anhalt eg (RSA) German version available as PDF: Gibor and Laudan passed away Gibor and Laudan set new standards in Holstein breeding history. After a phenomenal career as outstanding fitness sires Laudan and Gibor passed away. These two bulls are milestones in German breeding history due to their extremely good breeding values for longevity, udder health, daughter fertility and feet & legs and all this combined with outstanding milk production Mr Fitness : Gibor transmission. Despite the remarkable age of 14 and 15 years they are still able to provide progress in breeding for vitality and functionality and they are still topseller. Gibor could make it into the Top-15 of the most frequently used bulls in Germany in 2011, after a career of 10 years. Now he has more than 30,000 daughters all over the world. Outstanding success: Laudan Laudan was honored in the years 2004 and 2005 at the height of his career as most popular bull in Germany and could rank among the Top-10 in the following years. He has more than 65,000 daughters worldwide and a lot of highly tested sons.

3 April Proof Run of GGI Top daughter proven Sires Shift of base the Top-10. This once again proves the RZG s advance as RZM RZS RZE RZN RZR RZG Dairy type Body F&L Udder RZD the basis for Holstein selection. So the quartet Red Holstein of Mascol and his sons Malix, Mavid and the newcomer Daughter proven GGI sires Despite the annual shift of base, our bulls have impressively confirmed their high breeding values. The list is led by the fitness specialist Guarini who is strong for production. It is precisely these attributes which allow this excellent heifer bull to become so popular and this can also be seen in the other bulls in NOG Mato especially impress with high production transmission and excellent components, as well as very high fitness values. Another highly interesting newcomer is Goldday. This Goldwyn son, out of the heart of the Blackstar Raven EX 95 dynasty, has clearly come up to the expectations of his high genomic breeding values with his first daughters. Tableau is still the bull of the Red Holsteins. There are other familiar bulls at the top of the list with this popular heifer bull. Despite the shift of base, bulls like Jerudo, La Crosse, Carmano and Taurus have still proved impressive. Besides the production sires Cojack and Calvin, the most interesting newcomer is Selayo. He is only listed unofficially, but his daughters (45 DEU + 54 CAN) convince overall, and, due to his excellent fitness values, Selayo will find lots of friends. Further information can be obtained at For detailed figures please take a look at the table on the right hand side. Goldday (Goldwyn x O-Man x Durham x Luke) He passed the test! The highest genomic tested Goldwyn son from his year of birth has proved his excellent abilities as a sire with his first daughter proven breeding values. This bull, that is strong for conformation, shows really outstanding values of more than for the individual traits, thus confirming his linear which has no weaknesses. His impressive daughters presented themselves as a very uniform group at the show Hessens Zukunft They were of a desired dairy type with lots of harmony. Goldday s daughters move on solid feet & legs and have good locomotion. Udder transmission is just as every breeder wishes it to be. Fore udder attachment is optimal, teats are placed well below the udder quarters and the suspensory ligament is very strong. With positive protein transmission, more than 1,100 kg milk and an above average RZS of 114, it is obvious why this bull is already used intensively as a sire of sons. His fitness values of RZN 127 and RZR 115 are remarkable for such a young bull. Goldday leaves nothing to be desired and he can be recommended for use on heifers. Selayo aaa aaa 234 (Elayo x Goldwyn x Durham x Formation) Selayo successfully confirmed, with his daughters in Germany and Canada, the promise of his figures of his genomic breeding value estimation. The Elayo son out of the Glen Drummond Splendor family really impressed with his progeny group at the HighlightSALE This group s uniformity underlines the strengths of this young all-rounder. His tall, dairy daughters have clean feet & legs and show very good locomotion. Rumps are perfectly sloped and are of sufficient width in order to achieve very good breeding values for maternal and paternal calving ease. Top class udders with a very strong suspensory ligament and excellent rear udders complete the outstanding transmission of this promising newcomer. With excellent functional traits, Selayo s daughters promise to be healthy and long lasting cows. Milk production of more than +1,000 kg, with positive protein transmission make this bull a great all-rounder. He has a completely outcross pedigree in Red Holstein breeding with Elayo x VG 87 Goldwyn x VG 87 Durham. Scan QR-code for detailed online breeding values RZE (Index) RZE (Index)

5 April Proof Run of GGI Top Genomic Sires As with the daughter proven sires, the top list of the genomic bulls is also characterized by the variety of pedigrees. There are eight different sires and seven different dam s sires in the Top-10. Borussia BY is a unique bull at the top. His pedigree combines a rarely used sire and a very solid, but not often used dam line so far. Besides his outstanding fitness breeding values, Borussia catapults his extremely high production and components transmission to the highest grzg ever: 161. Furthermore, it is good news that our older G- Genomic bulls confirm their breeding power too through their first sons as well as their first daughters. So Bilstein BY can underline the qualities of Billiard and Great Day proves the outstanding potential of Goldday. Among the Red Holsteins, Cold Boy still leads the list. He is out of an O-Man dam. The new Tableau sons, Tabit and Tallboy, attract special attention as well, showing the same transmission profile as their sire. The same is true for Desk, Don Juan and Julandy to name but a few. There are more and more interesting alternative bloodlines among the polled sires. GGI can offer a wide range of good young sires besides Laron P with Asap P, Toppoll P, Parma PP and Remake-P. Further information can be obtained at For detailed figures please take a look at the table on the right hand side. Snowflake aaa (Snowman x Goldwyn x Outside x Lee) The first sons of the leader of the Interbull list, Snowman, are coming. A very special young sire has entered service: Snowflake. His dam is the Goldwyn daughter Kansas who became famous for her many highly predispositioned genomic tested progeny and is one of the most popular bull dams in Europe at the moment. Snowflake s granddam is no less than All-European Championship winner 2006: Outside Kora EX 93. His RZE of 131 with excellent breeding values for the single traits and a balanced linear are hardly surprising. His breeding values promise framy, dairy cows with excellent feet & legs and good locomotion. The firmly and highly attached udders, in combination with a strong suspensory ligament and somewhat longer teats are exactly what every breeder wants. RZM of 138 with +2,138 kg milk and his above average fitness values speak for themselves. With RZN 124, owners will enjoy his productive daughters for a long time. Scan QR code for detailed online breeding values grze (Index) Mad Max (Destry x Talent x Lee x Benefit RC) aaa Mad Max (Destry x Talent 2) will create interest among Red Holstein breeders. His dam is the most successful Red cow in Germany at the moment: RH Maxima EX 94. This cow became famous with wins at lots of national shows and also passed the test internationally. The conformation qualities of this exceptional cow can be seen in the complete transmission profile of her son Mad Max. He is one of the top conformation sires, with an RZE of 134, of the Red Holstein G-Genomic bulls. Udders are the highlight of the framy Mad Max daughters. With a breeding value of 130, with highly and firmly attached udders and very good teat placement as well as a strong suspensory ligament, this should result in excellent udders. Furthermore, they have clean feet and legs with optimal angle. The transmission quality of Mad Max is completed by very good production transmission of more than +1,100 kg milk with positive protein percentages. The bull also attracts particular interest for his good udder health and longevity so that Mad Max can be really recommended for widespread use. grze (Index)
