While the Hoard’s Dairyman Bull List will be available in the December issue, we are making it available to readers here as well. It can be downloaded by clicking this link.

To makes heads or tail of all those bulls, we sorted through the top bulls and ranked them on nine different traits or indexes in the Holstein breed. In Jerseys, we ranked bulls on two traits and all other breeds on one trait.

There were 3,840 bulls declared active by A.I. marketing organizations. That was up 365 bulls from August 2017. Overall, there were 1,149 bulls available that also have milking daughters.
