|  | An Exceptional New Sire |  | | |
We are proud to annouce that Jesfa is the latest addition to our line-up
From a stud already establishing a reputation for top quality type and production sires comes Jesfa, the latest and most exciting new release from Bullsemen.com.
German proven Jesfa is a son of leading French sire Jesther CV out of a VG Basar dam and looks set to become a top sire of sons. Transmitting close to +900kg milk and +45kg combined fat and protein Jesfa is among the top bulls available for milk and solids in the UK. Unlike his sire, Jesfa has also tested free of the recessive CVM gene.
Jesfa has a rock solid linear profile with no weaknesses, as reflected in his overall Type Merit score of +2.55. According to Nick Kirby, managing director of Bullsemen.com, Jesfa is the ideal sire for today’s larger herds looking for average sized cows with plenty of capacity, correct, wide rumps and more dairy strength. The bull is also very good on legs and feet and has an udder composite of +2.72, which is exceptional at this level of milk production. Putting the bull’s proof into perspective, Jesfa is currently the only bull available in the UK over 800kg milk that also scores over +2.00 on udders, feet and legs and overall Type Merit.
The release of Jesfa tops an exceptional proof run for Bullsemen.com, which currently has five of the top 50 £PLI sires on the books. These include the No 4 £PLI sire Jardin, high type and component sires Jurus and Emil II, and the high milk and solids sire GG Addison Satire. Overall the online active stud averages £52 PLI , -5 SCC , 393 milk , 18 fat , +0.05% fat , 14 kg protein , +0.02% protein , +1.7TM , +1.1 feet & legs , 1.7 mammary , +1.0 dairy strength and +0.02 Lifespan.
Semen from Jesfa is available for the direct price of £19 online, or via our freephone number 0808 202 3230.

| | Bullsemen.com Brings Minimum Standards To Sexed Semen | | | |
Sexed semen is now available from eight Holstein bulls in Bullsemen.com’s current “Minimum Standards” catalogue, with all meeting the company’s “no holes” philosophy of at least £130 PLI, +200kg milk and +1.0 of type.
Included in this new sexed semen offering are the German-proven Gibbon son Gibor – who climbs to 12th in the April 2008 bull proofs having been the highest ranking new entrant in the January listings - and several bulls from the major American co-operative CRI including Dillon and Stopper.
According to Bullsemen.com managing director Nick Kirby, the company’s approach to sexed semen is an extension to its overall approach of marketing the highest quality without compromise.
“There is arguably no better bull than Gibor currently available as sexed semen,” he says. “He has over 7000 milking daughters in Germany and now has a UK PLI of £197 and a Type Merit of +1.45. With a Lifespan of +0.6 and a really good SCC PTA of -21% this bull offers outstanding value whether sexed or not.
“CRI is maintaining a dedicated approach to sexed semen through its Genchoice facility whereby bulls are selected for sexing not only on sperm quality but also on genetic quality. All the selected sires have to be in the Top 20% for Lifetime Net Merit which is the US equivalent to the UK’s £PLI index.
“Overall, we are looking to supply sexed sires that will deliver a good level of genetic improvement and that can be used across a group of heifers to improve overall type on commercial dairy units.”
CRI Genchoice bulls currently on offer as sexed semen through Bullsemen.com include Convincer son Be Ware Convincer Dillon who has a PLI of £163 and a Type Merit of +1.05, and the Bellwood Marshall son Fustead Stopper who is a good all round type and production bull with a PLI of £136 and Type Merit of +1.37.

| | High Ranking Sexed Semen at Conventional Semen Prices | | | |
High ranking Holstein bulls Dillon, Pomeroy and Stopper - all over £130 PLI, more than +200 kg for milk, and at least +1 for UK Type Merit – are being offered by Bullsemen.com as sexed semen this summer at “conventional semen prices”.
It’s a move that, according to the company’s managing director Nick Kirby, should make what is now proven technology irresistible to the great majority of UK dairy farmers yet to explore the potential of sexed semen.
“The use of sexed semen offers dairy farmers significant advantages including increased selection intensity and a consequent acceleration in genetic advancement in their herds,” says Mr Kirby. “These benefits, however, depend on the sexed semen being from bulls of a high standard, and – to be commercially attractive to farmers – the bulls need to be affordable.
“Offering sexed semen from bulls such as Dillon, Pomeroy and Stopper – all bulls that meet our minimum standards criteria - at prices as low as £22.50/straw means we are indeed combining quality and affordability, and this we hope will encourage greater uptake of the technology across the full spectrum of dairy farmers.”
The three discounted sexed semen bulls are all from the major America co-operative CRI, which is maintaining a dedicated approach to sexed semen through its Genchoice facility. This means bulls are selected for sexing not only on sperm quality but also on genetic quality. All the selected sires have to be in the Top 20% for Lifetime Net Merit which is the US equivalent to the UK’s £PLI index.
Be-ware Convincer Dillon (sexed semen price reduced from £29 to £22.50) is a Convincer x Duster sire with £163 PLI and strong components and particularly improves fat percent at + 0.28%. He will also improve Udders, Feet & Legs and is +1.05 for Type Merit.
Hidden-View Pomeroy (sexed semen price reduced from £29 to £22.50) is an Emerson X Bellwood sire with a lifespan of + 0.3 and is a Somatic Cell Count improver with a ranking of – 16%. Pomeroy has the qualities to increase herd health and produce cows that last.
Stopper (sexed semen reduced from £34 to £29) is a BW Marshall X Leadman sire that offers a good Type and Production package, with well attached udders.
