Extremely Balanced Mr Sam Son Joins Semex Line-Up
Article posted on April 8, 2010, 18:52:55

none0200HO02106 Stantons Steady EX-90-CAN EXTRA is Semex's first Mr Sam son. Based on his debut proof Steady meets his name's expectations... balanced!

From the famous Saturday family, Steady's dam is a VG-85-2YR-CAN 15* Convincer from the VG-86-3YR-CAN 32* Rudolph Stress cow. Next dam is Sher-Est Thor Soup VG-88-3YR-USA GMD DOM 1* and then EX-90-5YR-USA GMD DOM Sher-Est S-Wind Saturday. This family is well-known for delivering profitable sires to the marketplace including seven other sires at Semex.

Steady arrives with an enviable proof from a unique pedigree, being a Mr Sam son from a Convincer dam. This cross truly worked, delivering balance and power throughout.

"These are big, black, powerful, angular cows," says Carl Saucier, CIAQ Progeny Analyst. "They have shallow udders with tremendous fore udders, are wide with hard tops, balance and style."

These field reports match his numbers at +14 Conf, +10 Mammary System, +11 Feet & Legs and +12 for Dairy Strength. USA figures of +2.23 PTAT match, and easily make him a Designer Series™ sire.

Steady offers even more for all dairymen looking to capitalize on profitability, being a Semex Health$mart sire with a +105 Herd Life, 2.99 Somatic Cell Score, +108 Milking Speed and +108 Daughter Calving Ability in Canada.

All this, and Steady is Semex's highest new release fat deviation sire at +0.52 in Canada and Semex's #2 sire in the USA lineup at +.22! Also, he's a high fertility Repromax™ sire making Steady a truly balanced sire that can be quickly added to breeding programs worldwide.
