Genosource Captain stays at the top of the International GTPI daughterproven ranking, with +3287 GTPI (+34 for GTPI). Gameday comes in second with +3163 GTPI (+125 for GTPI), with Westcoast Lambeau rounding out the stage at +3147. Ripcord is the top GTPI sire over 12 months with NAAB-code, with +3390 GTPI and +1507 NM$. Darth Vader comes in second at +3342 GTPI, with +1482 NM$ and +2458kgM, while Genosource Bonjour rounds out the stage with +3314 GTPI. SHG Lego remains the world’s leading PTAT sire, with +4.69 PTAT, he is a Siemers Fitters Choice kid from the #1 PTAT cow (>2 years).The #1 PTAT Red Carrier bull is SHG Lazer *RC with +4.24 PTAT. The genomic Holstein and Jersey lists have seen strong new leaders, with OCD Thorson Darth Vader-ET claiming the top spot on the Holstein Net Merit (NM$), Cheese Merit (CM$), and Total Performance Index (TPI) lists. Darth Vader’s numbers are over 100 points better than December’s leader on those traits and a GTPI of 3342. In the Jersey breed, JX Peak AltaFarva {6}-ET has risen to the top of both the CM$ and JPI lists. A.I. organizations reported 6,697 bulls active to the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB) for this proof round, with 4,566 genomic bulls, giving young sires a 68% market share. Holstein sires totaled 5,502, and 889 Jersey bulls were included, making up 95% of all bulls reported and more than 96% of all genomic bulls reported, both consistent with the December evaluations.
