Alta CONCEPT PLUS

Alta G-STARs are Alta's genomic sires that do not have milking daughters yet. These sires are specifically chosen to perform in progressive dairy environments and help you fast-forward your genetic progress.

PROVEN STAR sires are daughter-proven. These sires have more reliable proofs because it combines genomic data with herd performance records from his milking daughters.

By Definition

Established in 2001, Alta CONCEPT PLUS has grown to become one of the industry's most reliable and accurate sire fertility evaluations. Built with accuracy in mind, it uses real pregnancy check data from progressive dairies across North America to determine whether each Alta sire creates more or fewer pregnancies than the average bull. Based on this data, sires could receive one of the three Alta CONCEPT PLUS designations: CONCEPT PLUS CONVENTIONAL, CONCEPT PLUS SEXED, or CONCEPT PLUS BEEF X DAIRY.

The accuracy of the evaluation remains high because it accounts for key factors that affect conception rates, such as semen type, herd, lactation, season, and variation from breeding codes or technicians. This means you can trust that Alta CONCEPT PLUS sires will help you create more pregnancies.
