AUGUST 2025 UPDATES

NEW The American Jersey Cattle Association now publishes Percent Jersey Ancestry (PJA) as another layer of transparency. This information indicates the probable Jersey breed composition for each animal based on pedigree and ancestors. This new notation is different than Generation Count and Breed Base Representation. While both of those measures will continue to be available as they offer distinct insights regarding ancestry, PJA will serve as the most accurate and consistent tool for assessing Jersey ancestry and registry status. To learn more about PJA and other ancestry tools offered by AJCA, scan the QR code.

ADJUSTMENT

The calving traits calculated by CDCB for Brown Swiss underwent both a phenotypic and genetic base change in August 2025. The combined effect of the genetic and phenotypic base changes reflected an increase in difficult calving of about 0.6%.

SELECT SIRES DESIGNATIONS

FeedPRO optimizes selection for increased production and moderate body size while maintaining body condition score and daughter fertility. This revolutionary index designates sires with the genetics to improve income over feed costs and maintains health and reproductive traits.

The FertilityPRO designation identifies sires with semen that will likely improve pregnancy rates. This designation is assigned by examining industry service Sire Conception Rate (SCR) values, along with intensive in-house semen quality evaluations.

Sires earn the SHOWCASE designation through outstanding breed-leading Type or show-winning pedigrees. Turn to this designation to produce your next show winner or improve the overall type in your herd.

GrazingPRO sires improve the profitability of grass-based production systems by transmitting greater longevity, improved mobility, moderate stature, greater component yields and superior production - all while not compromising Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) and Somatic Cell Score (SCS).

RobotPRO sires transmit desired traits for robotic milking systems. These sires were selected based on component and milk yield, milk quality, udder health, functional udder traits like udder floor, and milking temperament. Use these sires to create the next generation of profitable cows for your automated milking system.

Throughout this directory, you will find sires sporting the special designation icons listed here along with their descriptions. Use these tools to choose sires that best reflect your management style to meet your goals.

This icon identifies sires with sex-sorted semen available. More heifers is not out of reach with our research-backed gender SELECTED sires. All gender SELECTED semen is processed using Ultraplus technology.

Look for the gender SELECTED 4M icon to identify sires with sex-sorted semen available in 4 million sperm doses. All gender SELECTED semen is processed using Ultraplus technology.

The Elite Sexed Fertility icon designates sires that can help you achieve the highest sex-sorted semen conception rates, enhancing your return on investment! This innovative designation distinguishes our highest performing sires for sex-sorted semen in both 2M and 4M products.

Sires which excel in multiple indicators of mastitis resistance are more likely to deliver genetic improvement. Mastitis ResistantPRO uses a combination of CDCB Mastitis Resistance, CDCB Somatic Cell Score (SCS) and Zoetis Mastitis Resistance.

UR ZOMBIE {0}-P AMEN-PP x Popcorn-PP

With our growing knowledge about the bovine genome, experts have predicted for some time that we’d likely discover numerous cattle genetic defects. Human genetic researchers estimate that we each carry four or five genetic defects. It’s reasonable to expect that these exist at a similar level in cattle.

USDA researchers along with international collaborators have identified haplotypes that appear to cause embryo loss or stillbirths when these haplotypes exist in the homozygous state.

These genetic conditions have not been directly observed and we do not know the exact genetic or biological cause of why the embr yos or fetuses are not viable. Because of this, they’ve been given simple names of Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1), Brown Swiss Haplotype 1 (BH1), Brown Swiss Haplotype 2 (BH2), Ayrshire Haplotype 1 (AH1) and Ayrshire Haplotype 2 (AH2). These haplotypes appear to have a recessive mode of inheritance where animals with zero or one copy of the haplotype are completely normal. Those that inherit two copies of the haplotype are lost as embryos or are stillborn.

The impacts of these haplotypes vary and are dependent on their frequency in the population and at what stage of gestation the pregnancies are lost. JHI has a frequency of 18.4%. BH2 exists at a frequency of 13.3%. Two haplotypes have been discovered in the Ayrshire breed (AH1) and it exists at the highest frequency of 22.2%, AH2 exists at a frequency of 21.0%.

It’s important to realize that the negative impact of these haplotypes is already accounted for in the routinely published sire conception rate (SCR) evaluations and daughter pregnancy rate (DPR) genomic evaluations. So, if you are using these traits in selecting your A.I. sires, you’re already avoiding or compensating for these genetic conditions.

The haplotypes each represent a distinct and unique genetic condition. They are not related to each other. The haplotypes have no impact when a bull that is heterozygous for AH1 is mated to a cow that is heterozygous for AH2. The risk is only experienced when animals are heterozygous for the same haplotype.

Select Mating Ser vice® (SMS®) is an excellent tool for managing these genetic conditions. By using the SMS program, herds with at least one generation of pedigree information on their cows can use heterozygous bulls with less than 1% chance of lost pregnancies from known conditions.

JERSEY NEUROPATHY WITH SPLAYED FORELIMBS (JNS)

The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) recently shared news of a new undesirable trait known as Jersey Neuropathy with Splayed Forelimbs or JNS. Select Sires is working closely with the AJCA and researchers from USDA-AGIL to learn about this new undesirable trait. As your cooperative, we will continue to support you and provide you with the most up-to-date information.

Genetic research and genomic testing are more prevalent than ever before. As technology advances and we test more cattle, we will continue to make these types of genetic discoveries. While it is likely that many sires will carry this undesirable trait, we have the available genetic information and breeding strategies to avoid its impact. By using genetic test results, pedigree information and guidance from your Select Mating Service® (SMS®) genetic consultant, you can avoid carrier-to-carrier matings and successfully manage undesirable traits. This breeding strategy avoids economic loss while continuing to utilize the industry’s best genetics.

The list below contains sires from the Select Sires and Accelerated Genetics lineups that are carriers for JNS.

Avoid raising straws above the frost line.

On new canes, bend the identification tab up to a 45º angle.

Use the forceps to remove one straw at a time from the top. If it takes more than 10 seconds to retrieve the straw, lower the canister back into the tank and allow to re-cool for 20 to 30 seconds.

Shake the straw gently to remove excess liquid nitrogen and promptly place in 95º F (35º C) water to thaw for at least 45 seconds. Thaw only as many straws as you can use in 10 to 15 minutes. When multiple straws are thawed, do not allow direct contact during thawing process.

To retrieve straws from the bottom goblet, grasp the cane and raise it until the straws are even with other cane tops. Hold the cane and canister with one hand. With your forceps in the other hand, remove the desired straw and place it in the thaw water.

LOADING THE INSEMINATION GUN

Before loading the insemination gun, pre-warm the barrel by stroking it vigorously with your hand five or six times.

Make sure the plunger is back about six inches to allow for insertion of the straw.

Remove the straw from the thaw water and wipe it completely dry with a paper towel.

Check to see that the straw contains semen from the desired bull and that a small bubble is at the crimped end.

If the bubble is not at the crimped end, gently tap the straw until the bubble moves to its correct position.

Place the cotton plug end of the straw in the gun. It will stop at exactly the right depth.

Wipe the scissors with a paper towel and cut the straw at a right angle ¼” below the lab seal.

Slide the plastic sheath over the straw and gun and firmly attach the sheath and gun together.

Inspect the straw end of the gun to ensure a proper seal between sheath and straw.

Wrap loaded guns in a paper towel or in a plastic sheath cover to provide both thermal and hygienic protection and place inside your clothing for transport to the cow.
