Jersey Sires Continue To Accelerate (4/9/09)

New excitement for the Accelerated Genetics Jersey sire lineup came with the April Sire Summary. PACE graduates from previous summaries continue to rank well within the breed and offer a variety of pedigrees along with high production, strong components, outstanding type and high JPI.

Making impressive gains for production and health traits, 014JE00473 Tollenaars Impuls Louie 260-ET moved into the Top 5 JPI sires at +267 JPI. He is a high milk sire (+1739 PTAM) who is positive for fat test (+.02% fat). Health traits are a strength for Louie as he is +3.8 PL and +0.9 DPR. Louie provides the rare combination of high production genetics while offering outcross with a low 5.4% EFI. He sires tall, strong daughters that have correct feet and legs, and very desirable udders.

014JE00472 Forest Glen Artist Alexander continues to offer high component outcross genetics. He is an Artist from a Very Good Bold and possesses a rather low 5.6% EFI rating. Alexander sires high components (+.19% fat and +.05% protein) along with great health trait ratings (+5.4 PL and +1.0 DPR). Look for Alexander to sire shallow udders with strong fore udder attachments.

Another pair of high JPI PACE graduates include 014JE00446 Norse Star Jace Triumph-ET and 014JE00437 Will Do Mor Russell. Both bulls have identical rankings of +202 JPI. Triumph sires outstanding milk production but is still positive for both fat and protein test. He sires great type (+1.7 PTAT) as his daughters are dairy with great fore udders, strong center support and excellent teat placement. Russell is a Mor son that specializes in high components (+.20% fat and +.04% protein) and positive health traits. New release 014JE00467 Chario Mor Excitement (Excite) lives up to his name. This Mor son out of a Mannix is a high fat bull (+.05 fat and +61 PTAF) that also sires great type (+1.50 PTAT). They are tall with good strength and dairyness. The Excite daughters have great rear udders, strong center support and smooth fore udders.

Other sires that continue to impress as they add more information include: 014JE00460 Ahlem Jace Epic-ET with high components and great udders and 014JE00415 Ralaine Paramount Peter who seems to climb every summary.
