I've just gone through your 2005 Breeders Guide on line. It looks great. It's a lot easier to navigate through than the GO catalogue. When you click on it an order form comes up. To view the PT bulls you have to click on the catalogue icon at the bottom left just above the Adobe download icon. I think you should have the PT bulls come up with an option to click on a GO contract. Just a thought!

Alta Updates No. 3 2005

Exciting New Graduate - ALTACOLIN has lived up to all the industry speculation over the last 6 months by graduating as the number 2 APR sire (APR126)...and the number one ASI sire. Sired by the immortal DONOR, ALTACOLIN descends from one of the great cow families in the Holstein breed. With a maternal sire stack that includes bulls the likes of Lord Lily, Jabot, Prelude, Leadman and Starbuck and traces back to the great black cow in Montmaple Christina EX. ALTACOLIN was bred by the Mason family at Congupna in Northern Victoria. His 4 nearest dams have all tested up to 4.7% fat and 3.5% protein. A feature of the bull's proof is the comparison with his legendary sire DONOR. ALTACOLIN is a higher CFP bull, higher on components and on type. We anxiously await further daughter data in the May proofs....to see if he can overtake his sire. ALTACOLIN is 90% black and produces excellent quality semen and will be a mating sire domestically and internationally. 'At an APR od 126, 30 kilograms of protein couple with 0.8 type and 0.4 mammary makes ALTACOLIN by far the most exciting new Holstein graduate not only in 2005, but since the debut of his sire DONOR more than 5 years ago. We are absolutely delighted that ALTACOLIN has graduated and it reinforces our philosophy that great bulls come from the best cow families. Priced at $22+GST RRP ($17.60+GST through progeny test) makes ALTACOLIN tremendous value' says Daryl Brown General Manager of 21st Century Genetics. A protein specialist added to the 21st Cenetury Genetics team this season is ALTAKORIOIT. This DONOR son out of Meadow Bridge Manhattan's best daughter in Glomar Manhatten Lucy EX is one of the elite production sires of the breed, at 30 kilograms of protein and 1056 litres make him a necessity when sourcing production. Ranked equal number three on protein kilograms with super workabilities make ALTAKOROIT excellent value at $14+GST RRP. He has also been tested free of Factor XI which is carried by his dam.
ALTAHOLLAND - Lucky Mike continues to maintain the high levels that he has set. He remains the number one Type bull in Holland and number three overall on the DPST ranking. His ability to throw tremendous scale and body shape coupled with remarkable udders make Lucky Mike the must use sire of the Holstein breed. His calving ease is an added bonus for Holland's number one Type sire. Priced at $32+GST RRP this season makes this short supply bull a must use bull for every farmer's breeding program in 2005. What other number one Type bull retails for $32+GST?
COGENT BREEDERS - UK - The introduction of Aquila Patron Lucente into the commercial sector at $35+GST this season will see this Patron son being a large volume bull at 21st Century Genetics in 2005. Having added 9 second crop daughters in the recent UK proof round, LUCENTE has not only maintained his proof he is now considered a calving ease sire. His tremendous production and award winning type has made this Cogent sire a most popular sire of sons all around the world. LUCENTE recently has had his sex sorted semen passed and is now available in short supply.
OHG - Germany - Lancelot has increased slightly for milk, fat and protien, reaffirming his position near the top of the German ranking. His lift of 4 RZM to 147 makes him the highest ranked sire in Germany that is still living. Germany added a milking speed rating in February placing Lancelot at 112, that a full deviation above the breed average in Germany. He has lifted 4 APR points (allowing for the base change) whilst the highly credentialed Rudolph son, Ramos increased by 1 RZM in Germany to 140. He continues to be the number one udder health bull avialble from Europe. He is 95% reliable and calving ease.

She also won a production award at IDW in 1997. ALTAWHISKEY has a wonderful balance of production, components, type, shallow udders and high farmer likability.
