Offer Your Bull Trough AMS Genetics/HP
December 1, 2014
AMS Genetics and Holstein Plaza have several overseas clients looking for bulls. These clients have their own indexes and therefor more bulls have a chance to go. A good example are two Chevrolet sons from the Pine-Shelter Cheyenne family that recently received a high RZG index and now sold overseas. We currently test bulls in the following systems. For more background information about different systems, please take a look at the Breeding Management article in Hotspots Autumn 2013, for a link CLICK HERE.
- RZG: Strong focus on lbs. protein and health traits
- PFT: Strong focus on lbs. protein, fat and udders
- PLI: Strong focus on fat, protein, productive life and DPR
- NVI: Strong focus on lbs. protein, DPR, udder health, udders and feet & legs
