Semex has actively sought sires that will offer more to a broader range of customers," says Brad Sayles, Vice President Global Marketing. "We're appealing to more and more dairymen worldwide through a product offering that continues to become more diverse. Dairymen are looking for their genetic suppliers to offer more than just the very top of the lists. They're looking for sires that are outcross sires, highly reliable sires and sires that can get to work today on their bottom line."

Two of these outcross sires are sired by Laudan:

• 0200HO00423 Canyon-Breeze Alaska was Semex's #1 LPI Release sire in April, ranking an impressive #12 LPI at +2039 LPI on his debut. Two proof rounds later he ranks as the #13 LPI sire at +2246 LPI after increasing both daughters and reliability. From the same family that gave us Semex great Canyon-Breeze Allen, Alaska's dam is a VG-85-2YR-USA BW Marshall from a VG-88-6YR-USA Storm and then the EX-94-3E-USA DOM Emory sister to Allen himself. Their dam is an EX-93-5YR-USA GMD DOM x EX-91-2E-USA GMD DOM x VG-85-7YR-USA, all with high production lifetime records. Alaska is a Health$mart™ sire that's ready to work on the dairy. Health$mart sires are identified as those that sire the most valuable and profitable cows on the dairy. These sires excel for qualities that dairies can easily quantify in their ledgers including Daughter Fertility, Milking Speed, SCS, Herd Life and Daughter Calving Ease. Alaska easily fits this bill being +107 Daughter Fertility, +104 Milking Speed, low 2.73 SCS, +107 Herd Life and +109 Daughter Calving Ability in Canada. All this with a solid conformation, solid +1037 Milk and positive deviations of +0.14F and +0.17P, this outcross sire is also a high fertility Repromax™ sire, making him an easy choice for dairymen everywhere.
• 0200HO05513 Favreautiere Gailuron ranks as the #12 LPI sire at +2263. On his second proof round, Gailuron has increased his LPI by over 300 points while adding several daughters. A highly profitable Health$mart™ sire, Gailuron's dam is VG-88 5* Comestar Gail Igniter. Next dam is VG-86 17* Brigeen Rudolph Glinda, then VG-89 GMD DOM Mandel Golda and three more generations of VG/EX dams. Gailuron offers solid conformation with an impressive +1697 Milk and +.10%P. He shines in his functional traits being +106 Herd Life, +105 Daughter Calving Ability and a low 2.81 SCS.
