What is a PROVEN STAR Sire?
Alta EDGE
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-STAR
G-STARs are Alta's genomic sires that do not have milking daughters yet. These sires are specifically chosen to perform in progressive dairy environments and help you fast-forward your genetic progress.
FUTURE STAR
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
By Definition
PROVEN STAR sires are daughter-proven. This means the proof of a PROVEN STAR sire is more reliable because it combines genomic data with herd performance records from his milking daughters.
Benefits
-
Greater reliability from daughter-proven herd performance data
-
More confidence that PROVEN STAR sires will deliver on the genetics in their proof
-
Proven to perform in progressive dairy environments
Alta CONCEPT PLUS
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.
