With the August sire summaries, International Protein Sires has added several new genetic pacesetters. "As IPS celebrates 25 years in the A.I. business, we show continued growth and thank our loyal patrons. Through this growth, IPS is able to add dynamic genomic tested sires as noted by the August sire summaries. In addition, exciting new daughter proven sires have joined the IPS sire lineup with the August run," remarked Ron Sersland, President and CEO of IPS. Leading the new genomic sires is 566HO1260 STORM PROOF at +2680 GTPI. He is +1174 for milk along with being +.16% for fat and +.10% for protein, resulting in combined fat and protein of +152 lbs. His NM$ is +790 while his CM$ is +841. STORM PROOF also excels in type at +2.52 with an udder composite rating of +2.10. These qualities result in a fitness specialist at +5.3 productive life. STORM PROOF is sired by Silver from a young Willpower daughter that is now fresh.
One exciting addition is 566HO1267 FIX IT at +2640 GTPI. FIX IT excels at a high threshold for milk at +2158 pounds coupled with superior confirmation; +2.42 for type and +2.17 for UDC.
