New bulls give breeding efficient and healthy herds considerable boost


In this run, many new bulls excel in efficiency and health. Delta Atlantic consolidates his number 1 position in black-and-white and moreover makes his mark as a bull sire and grandsire, for both red-and-white and black-and-white. 
 
Delta Atlantic (Ramos x O Man) is leading the black-and-white ranking head and shoulders above the rest. His NVI has increased by 14 points to a fantastic score of +332, with a towering longevity of +829 days. No wonder Atlantic is currently by far the most widely used CRV bull.

While Atlantic is leading the ranking of black-and-white breeding bulls, red-and-white has the scoop of the first grandson becoming available worldwide. This is InSire Top Bull Delegate vd Peul (325 NVI, Deputy x Atlantic). Just like his grandsire, Delegate passes on superb practical traits, such as udder health (109), claw health (104) and longevity (+806 days), thus contributing to a healthy herd (+7%). With an extremely high NVI of 325 points, Delegate passes on high contents (+0.26% fat and +0.19% protein) and high efficiency (+8%). With an overall score of 113 for conformation, with 113 for udder, Delegate is a bull that is a good match for any modern herd, either red-and-white or black-and-white.

Atlantic’s dam is also the dam of Arroyo, Delta Colorado’s sire.

Colorado passes on great efficiency (+7%) and health (+4%), with very high scores for udder health (107) and claw health (105).

Quatro Patrick (309 NVI, Atlantic x Onedin) is a black-and-white Atlantic son that presents himself. Based on his genomic breeding values, this InSire Top Bull scores no less than +10% for Better Life Health, which allows him, just like his sire, to do a very good job for breeding a healthy herd. A herd that is therefore easy to manage, as is also proven by his inheritance for fertility (105), udder health (105) and claw health (108).

Daughter-tested Bertil sons
In this index run, a number of daughter-tested Bertil sons draw the attention. One of those sons is
De Biesheuvel Bertoli
(Bertil x O-Man, 223 NVI). He passes on a good milk production (+743 kg), with very high contents (+0.27% fat and +0.24% protein). This combination enables him to increase the efficiency of the herd (+5%). Bertoli’s pedigree is free of O-Man and he scores high for udder health (+105) and claw health (+105). His daughters have great dairy strength (108), and their body condition continues to be very good. Both Bertoli’s dam, De Biesheuvel Javina 3 VG87, and granddam, De Biesheuvel Javina VG88, are still alive and have high lifetime productions.

Delta Lambert (221 NVI, Bertil x Win395) is a Bertil son with an interesting bloodline. With no fewer than seven CRV bulls in his pedigree, Lambert can be traced back to Sunny Boy. With +1715 kg, this bull passes on a very high milk production. In addition, Lambert daughters produce a lot of fat and protein (+110 kg). Lambert is perfect to use on (too) large cows. Moreover, Lambert is an excellent bull to use for leg improvement (111) in the herd.

After a very good performance at the NRM in June this year, Aurora Jeroen (245 NVI, Bertil x O Man) shows that he is in firm control. He combines an excellent milk inheritance (+973 kg) with high contents and this great combination results in a very high Inet (€374) and many kilograms of fat and protein (+117 kg). His daughters keep his breeding values stable, which will only increase interest in Jeroen.
