2 GGI - German Genetics International GmbH GGI German Genetics International GmbH is the international export marketing body of the seven leading German breeding organizations, representing these on the international market. As well as a range of sires of beef, dual purpose and other dairy breeds, we offer, in particular, -class Holstein and Red Holstein genetics. In co-operation with our competent partners world, GGI offers breeders from all over the world access to the entire potential of German Holstein breeding. Moreover, GGI is a reliable partner for all aspects of cattle breeding and management. All sires offered are tested with reliability and accuracy, based on the world leading estimation model for breeding values. This applies to daughter proven sires as well as to only genomic tested young bulls. The German breeding philosophy is clearly reflected in GGI s product range. This includes milk production with components, conformation with excellent feet & legs and functional, healthy udders as well as fertility and great evity. The aim is an efficient, healthy, trouble-free cow that gives production under a variety of housing conditions over many lactations. Please contact GGI or our international partners because using the best GGI sires you will always be on the right track! Daughter proven sires and genomic selection: a question of reliability Since August 2010, all breeding values have been enhanced by including genomic information in order to increase reliability, especially of young daughter proven bulls. As well as established daughter proven bulls, since August 2010, bulls with only genomic breeding values have the status of a tested sire as well. Genomic breeding values are calculated with the help of the young bull s genome structure by comparing this with the genes of the daughter proven sires (reference sample). Consequently, the quality of the genomic breeding values directly depends on the quality of breeding values on a daughter basis and the number of bulls included in the sample. Germany has the largest and best structured reference sample in the world with more than 30,000 sires (August 2015). This sample represents the entire, current Holstein population from Europe and North America so that the predominance of the German breeding value estimation system will remain for genomic selection, too. Due to the much ened generation interval, young bulls mostly get clearly er breeding values than recent daughter proven sires. However, it should be kept in mind that the reliability of only genomic tested bulls is significantly be the daughter proven sires. That is why GGI provides a range of only genomic young bulls without daughters, young daughter proven hopefuls with a few hundred daughters and solid second crop sires with several thousand daughters. It does not matter what you are seeking for your herd: GGI will have it! To give you a quick overview of top-class German genetics, you can find in this catalogue both daughter proven sires with reliability and genomic bulls who will bring faster breeding progress. GGX sexed semen 'Made in Germany' The ST laboratory in Cloppenburg, Germany, guarantees consistent and reliable results by using the latest sexing technology and therefore, increases your chance of getting excellent female offspring to over 90%. Of course, the GGX semen also complies with the est standards for hygiene and quality. The most recent genomic bulls, as well as reliable, Holstein and Red Holstein daughter proven bulls, and different beef breeds, are continuously offered at a consistent level of quality. To always keep up to date, we are constantly including new bulls in our sexed semen portfolio.

This exceptional bull has been one of the most popular German daughter proven bulls world for more than three years and stands his ground in these times of genomics, as one of the best conformation sires ever, despite competition. Goldday daughters are uniformly framy cows with lots of capacity and with adequate dairy type and lots of elegance. The homogeneous animals show above average width in the entire body so that the mostly correctly rumps are characterized by lots of width. In the overall appearance, feet and legs of the progeny should be mentioned as a plus in Goldday s transmission because they score well in every field and enable very harmonic despite the enormous frame of the animals. The rear udders of the Goldday daughters are carried by a and are ly and ly attached leaving nothing to be desired. Fore udders show a attachment as well. The somewhat r teats are what is required on modern dairy farms throughout the world. Thanks to his complete transmission profile, even in the field of fitness traits, Goldday is one of the best sons of his frequently used sire on a global scale and still a great investment for every dairy farmer. 4 German Genetics International GmbH Genetics Made in Germany

The Maserati daughters are uniformly framy, cows with sufficient depth and capacity so they are able to take in adequate roughage to deal with their production. However, they retain a desirable dairy type despite their substance and capacity. Fore hand width can be seen in the mostly correctly rumps so that there is overall, a harmonious appearance. The correctly angled feet and legs leave nothing to be desired and impress for bone quality and their set. The fluent and s should be praised in particular. Rear udders are very and attached sufficiently, with a. Fore udders show texture, attachment and correct width. With teat placement and medium teat length, you can consider them to have reliably quality udders. Maserati is a truly complete sire who can clearly improve a herd within one generation. This is true for production, components, fitness and overall conformation. German Genetics International GmbH Genetics Made in Germany 5

This early Super son out of the Dutch cow family of the Rita s was an insiders tip from then on and has measured up to those expectations. The very stylish Shirocco daughters are elegant, juvenile animals with lots of development potential. The medium-sized animals have lots of dairy type and average. Their body fs into a somewhat er rump though the animals calve trouble-free. The optimal definitely has a positive influence on calving ease. A desirable rear leg angle and set and especially excellent bone quality really underline the animals elegance. A special of Shirocco s transmission profile is udders. The very ly and ly attached rear udders are carried by a. Fore udders are firmly attached as well. Due to and optimal teat placement, Shirocco also has an excellent RZRobot. As well as very daughter fertility, Shirocco also offers other qualities. In addition to his type, his excellent bone quality and his outstanding udder transmission are in demand in the current population and that is despite the fact that breeders have to be happy to compromise over his production transmission. 6 German Genetics International GmbH Genetics Made in Germany

Snowflake is an early Snowman son and directly descends via his ly efficient dam Kansas from the legendary Batke Outside Kora EX. Snowflake s grand dam Kora not only recorded countless national show wins, but was also awarded best cow of the entire continent at the All-European Championship The Snowflake daughters as seen at the DHV Show 2015 are characterized by the optimal combination of dairy type and frame. Due to their, and depth, they have capacity as well as adequate substance. The average rumps are almost perfectly. The animals move well with their s, and feet and legs excel for hock angle and set. Moreover, they show bone quality. Fore udders are well-attached, as are the and rear udders. The animals have a suspensory ligament and fine udder texture. The somewhat r placed teats stand out for their correct length. Snowflake can be considered an all-rounder who offers very balanced transmission for conformation at the est level as well as very milk yield. This is exactly what has characterized Snowflake s cow family for generations. German Genetics International GmbH Genetics Made in Germany 7

When he got his first official genomic breeding value in December 2014 he was the first bull to reach a total merit index of over 170 grzg and this with a so far unrivalled production breeding value of 167 grzm, thanks to milk yield transmission of over 3,500 kg. However, due to the base shift, his figures fell slightly.cinema descends through his sire from the Cosmopolitan family, one of the most popular cow families ever. This family is also responsible for top bulls like Marigo and Checkmate. Perhaps Cinema s dam is in even er demand. She is an extremely efficient heifer, outstanding for conformation too. In fact, Cinema is her est son in Germany, but she also bred Beat, Chevalier and Baltikum, other topclass sires.all of them have the ability to achieve figures in almost every system.the Cinema daughters should show dairy type and, due to their with average, have sufficient capacity. The slightly rumps enable easy calving thanks to their width.having normal angle, the breeding values promise correctly angled and set, feet & legs with feet and correct.the udders of the Cinema daughters are ly and ly attached, both in the fore and the rear, and therefore, should be easy to milk and able to cope with very production. 24 German Genetics International GmbH Genetics Made in Germany

This bull has an interesting background, especially for Black & White breeders, but also gives new opportunities for Red Holstein breeding due to the fact that he is a red carrier. The cow family of Sunday P has been outstanding with well-classified conformation as well as production and excellent components for generations. So it is not surprising that this family, originally from France, produced bulls such as Gunnar and Jentin. On the dam s side, this family also impresses as Sunday s half sister is currently the est homozygous polled animal in the world for grzg. Moreover, she is the full sister of Knut P. In the linear, Sunday P scores with his transmission for. With average type, the daughters should show sufficient. Rumps of the Sunday P daughters should be and impress with their clearly above average width. This is also a reason for the very calving traits. The feet and legs show a correct angle and desirable set, enabling very. High foot angles should also be commended. Udders are ly and firmly attached in the fore and rear, and transmission for is also positive. As well as correct transmission for conformation, his transmission for components and extremely figures for the fitness traits speak well for Sunday P.

His sire was very rarely used in European breeding programs so Totilas holds a special position. He can be recommended for spread use. On the dam s side as well as Toprock, Epic and Man-O-Man there are lots of popular young cows that descend from Glen Drummond Splendor. The Splendor family has not been a reliable source for genetics since the introduction of genomic breeding values. Our topclass sire Laron P could really prove the qualities of this cow family. The young dam of Totilas, Savannah, has another string to her bow with Janitor. The Totilas daughters should be medium-sized animals with a dairy type. Body traits are rather average in the beginning, but his pedigree promises development potential and this can also be expected when you look at the evity breeding value. With adequate angle, feet and legs should really excel with bone quality and s which result in. Udder breeding values promise rear udders that are ly and ly attached, carried by a suspensory ligament. Fore udder attachment leaves nothing to be desired so the quality udders are easy to milk, despite somewhat er teats. Due to his extremely breeding value for evity and fertility, you should -list Totilas. He combines these traits with milk yield and positive protein transmission. 26 German Genetics International GmbH Genetics Made in Germany

When looking at the development of his dam Maxima, the progeny of Mad Max should become even better in the lactations to come. The elegant animals have harmony, a firm top line as well as, level to rumps of very width. Feet and legs are correctly angled and set. With average s, the bone quality and fluent should be commended. The firmly attached rear udders are sufficiently and show width as well as a suspensory ligament. The fore udders are of adequate length and correctly attached. They show texture. Teats are correctly placed and of the desired length.
