Cow families are the basis of any great breeding program and at Semex, we’re no different. The 200HO sires are built on a foundation of the world’s most successful maternal lines. We scour the Earth in search of the most sought-after genetics in order to help you be more profitable and meet your goals.
Famous proven Semex sires such as Starbuck, Aerostar, Rudolph and now Goldwyn are the kind of bulls that have served as the foundation of many herds worldwide, delivering both profitability and longevity. What made these sires so special was their own ability to stay relevant. In fact Goldwyn, still ranks as the #22 LPI and #61 TPI sire two years after his first son debuted, and nearly eight years since his own first official evaluation.
Two of Goldwyn’s sons continue to be among the most well-respected sires worldwide:
0200HO2235 Smithden Admiral VG-88 EXTRA debuted in August 2011 as the #1 LPI sire and his proof today still excels for the same qualities… Longevity, calving ease, low SCS, high components and solid type! No accident, this Designer Series™ and Health$mart™ sire’s maternal line is one of the industry’s most famous. His dam is Smithden Allen Alison VG-88 19* with 2 Superior Lactations and then three more Superior Lactation Award dams, all scored VG or EX. His proof tells us his daughters are just like these Smithden cows, with an impressive +1183 kgs Milk, +82 kgs Fat, +48 kgs Pro, an exceptional +108 Herd Life, solid conformation, low SCS, with great milking speed and calving ability. Admiral is best used on cows needing additional milk and fat with a balanced type profile.
0200HO05575 Gillette Jordan VG-87 EXTRA arrived in August 2010 along with a large wave of Goldwyn sons. Like his father, he offered great type, low SCS and great fat percentages. A year and half later, this Designer Series™, Repromax™ and Health$mart™ sire stands alone as one of a handful of proven sires in the world that can offer over +2.00 for PTAT, UDC and FLC, with less than 2.70 SCS, positive deviations and 92% production reliability! In Canada, the figures agree with a remarkable 74% GP and better rating on 241 daughters. This very special Goldwyn can take credit from his maternal line as his dam is the famous Gillette-I Durham Jericho EX 15*, with nearly 90,000 kgs lifetime and then four more VG or EX dams.
Ask your Semex representative how to put these two highly reliable and proven profitable Goldwyn sons to work in your herd today.
