Alta EDGE sires are the newest, most cutting-edge genetics at Alta. These sires excel for a given genetic index or possess specialized traits that set them apart and are known to be sires of sons, which means they are making the biggest impact on the entire Holstein or Jersey breed.
G-STARS are Alta's genomic sires that do not have milking daughters yet. Almost all bulls at Alta fit the G-STAR lineup at some point in their career.
• Newer genetics to fast-forward your genetic progress
• Elite genomic rankings to fit a variety of genetic plans or trait requirements
• Bulls chosen specifically to perform in progressive dairy environments
• Some G-STAR sires may also carry the Alta CONCEPT PLUS designation, meaning they're proven to create more pregnancies through high fertility
FUTURE STAR sires help you create more pregnancies and live, healthy calves. These sires have the high fertility Alta CONCEPT PLUS status and are known for their low Sire Stillbirth value.
PROVEN STAR sires are daughter-proven. These sires have more reliable proofs because it combines genomic data with herd performance records from his milking daughters.
Alta CONCEPT PLUS sires are known for their high fertility. Using real pregnancy check data from progressive dairies across North America, these sires have been evaluated for fertility and are proven to create more pregnancies than the average bull.
