Philip Halhead purchased Amos at the Royal Cornwall show
on behalf of Semex to continue the aggresive expansion of
the Beef stud. " Semex supply the very best Holstein
genetics to dairy farmers in the UK and Ireland and increasingly
these same farmers are seeing the added value of using easy
calving but high value beef sires on the dairy cows, no longer
needed to breed dairy replacements" commented Philip.
"Amos is the ideal bull for crossing onto dairy cows
as he exhibits good muscle development with a medium frame
score and easy calving traits. Combine that with excellent
EBVs for eye muscle area, retail meat yield, terminal production
index and self replacing index, you start to understand the
appeal of this modern Simmental bull"
Simmental is growing
in popularity for use on dairy cows and Amos will help Semex
to grow its market share.
Philip makes the point " Dairy
farmers are using more Holstein sexed semen than ever before
and beef semen sales are growing every year, Semex can provide
the complete package to dairy farmers and we are sure Amos
will become very popular"
Semex with the help of Norbreck Genetics will put Amos through
there young bull testing scheme to assess the calving ease
and calf quality of calves born from dairy cows. Meadow Quality
the calf purchasing company are keen to watch a bull like
Amos develop and will have no hesitation in placing him on
a reccommended Superior Sire list with the EBV data he exhibits.
"Cairnview
Snazzy the sire of Chyanhal Amos is sired by the much admired
Popes Laird a bull we have watched with great interest since
his sale in Perth Auction and one that is breeding very well" stated
Philip. |
