high genetic potential young sires
sampled each year in the Shawano,
Wi.-based cooperative’s program.
The program offers incentive
payments, including a bonus for
producers on protein test, to
qualified users of junior sire
semen. The program allows
Midwest to increase the number of
young sires samples and makes
sampling more efficient.
Defiant and Peerless and the
other sires-in-waiting will have to
wait about four years from sam
pling before their first Predicted
Differences (PD’s) are caculated.
Only about one of six bulls sampled
has credentials high enoueh to
meet Midwest’s strict standards
for its active dairy line-up housed
in Shawano.
