With the completion of the January 2010 sire summary, 54BS410 Kulp-Gen Dynasty Dragon—tops the Type list. DRAGON—who is currently +1.0 PTAT—is heating up the charts both in the U.S. and Europe where he was jointly sampled. New Generation Genetics President Dan Gilbert recently returned from a trip to view Dragon daughters in Austria and Switzerland and came away impressed, saying “Dragon’s daughters are extremely consistent with super udders, great feet and legs, strength and high components, especially fat.” Pictures of these daughters can both be found here on our website and on our Facebook page. Dan also notes that “Dragon’s European daughters were some of the best two-year-olds on their respective farms and most could have easily gone VG using the United States classification scorecard.”

Dragon daughters also impress U.S. breeders who are currently adding them to their milking herds. Marketing Manger Jake Hushon has seen 12 Dragon daughters across the country and says, “They remind me of a taller longer version of the TD’s. The cows work hard and have great udder attachments and correct teat placement.” Dragon is one of the only Brown Swiss bulls available that will improve all udder traits.

“Candid pictures” are posted on Dragon’s page and there will be additional photos available this spring and in the April newsletter.

For more information on the new Type specialist Dragon or any sire in our lineup, feel free to contact us at dan@brownswiss.com or call (920)-568-0554.

The action at the Starmark Sale held recently in Wooster, OH was hot, and New Generation Genetics sired some of the best Brown Swiss in the sale. New Generation daughters when compared to daughters from other studs were the top averaging group, gross and sired the most animals through the ring—the true trifecta. 18 out of the 46 lots were sired by NGG bulls; No other stud had half as many daughters that went through the sale ring. The average for New Generation daughters was $9,483 and the total gross was $170,700, representing nearly 50% of the gross of the entire Brown Swiss lineup! The numbers don’t lie; 6 out of the 8 highest selling animals were sired by NGG bulls which included daughters by LEGACY, Wonderment, DENVER, VIGOR, and Premium. We congratulate Wayne & Connie Sliker at Modern Associates for doing a great job with the sale and thank them for continuing to promote the Brown Swiss breed at the highest level.

This year’s journey on the tanbark trail was an exciting one for New Generation Genetics where heifers and cows sired by NGG’s bulls stole the spotlight. At the All-American show, held on September 16th & 17th in Harrisburg, PA. New Generation daughters stood at the top of the class. Blessing Mort Laura LEGACY sired two class winners, the winning winter yearling Rose Ledge SS MLL Snazzy ET and the winning Jr. 2-year-old Brothers Three Wisp (at left) who would go on to be named Honorable Mention Intermediate Champion. LEGACY also sired one 2nd place, two 3rd places, and a 4th place daughter. Rolling View DENVER sired 6 daughters placing in the top 6 of their respective classes, which included 3 of the top 6 Sr. 2-year-olds. Top Acres EP Premium sired two class winners including the 1st place fall calf PA-Lynn-Leigh P Tinkle ET who would go on to be named the Res. Junior Champion and 1st place Sr. 2-year-old Round Hill Premium Lil Fern. “Lil Fern” is the same young cow that topped the 2008 National Convention sale and was later named Intermediate Champion of the show. Premium also sired a 5th place and 6th place heifer. The #1 Net Merit bull, Sun-Made VIGOR, debuted with the 3rd place spring calf. Vance sired the 1st place Aged cow R & S Vances Joan and other sires with top 6 finishers included Link, Etvei, Jolt and Wonderment.

The excitement for New Generation Genetics continued at the World Dairy Expo held in Madison, Wisconsin. The two-day show, held October 1st & 2nd displays the best cattle in the country and the Brown Swiss show was no exception. New Generation Genetics sired daughters lead all other studs in top 6 finishers with 25, over ¼ of the show. Leading all Brown Swiss sires was LEGACY who sired three class winners. The winning spring yearling and the 07 All-American Spring calf was Sequa Legacy Lila. Winning the Fall yearling class and full sister to both NGG young sires Total and Theory, was Sunnyisle Legacy Thyme ET who is a daughter of Res. Senior Champion Sunnyisle Colby Twilite. The milking classes were no exception as a repeat winner from the All-American and winning Jr. 2-year-old was Brothers Three Wisp. Legacy also sired the 3rd place Jr. 3-year-old and two 4th place yearlings. Two Premium daughters won their classes which included the 1st place Spring calf Brothers Three HP Willow ET and Winter yearling Round Hill Premium Wink ET. Premium also sired the 2nd place Sr. 2-year-old, the 4th place 5-year-old, and the 5th place Spring yearling. Bo Joy Premium Galaxy, a New Generation young sire sired two 4th place calves and will look to add more next year. Soon to receive a proof Mort Legacy BONANZA sired the 3rd place Jr. 2-year-old. Other bulls with Top 6 finishers include Denver, Investment, Link, Solution, Starbuck, Monaco, Vigor, and Vance.
