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.
FUTURE STAR sires receive this designation if they meet two specific criteria:
The first two steps in creating your best future herd are creating a pregnancy and delivering a live, healthy calf. FUTURE STAR sires address both steps.
A Pregnancy
FUTURE STAR sires are genomically proven, plus they have the coveted high fertility Alta CONCEPT PLUS status. This means that actual pregnancy check results prove that these bulls create more pregnancies than the average sire.
As sires with the coveted Alta CONCEPT PLUS designation, with conventional semen, you'll get an up to 7% conception rate advantage, and on sexed semen, they offer an up to 8% conception rate advantage.
A Live, Healthy Calf
The success of your future herd starts with calves that thrive from birth. That's why Sire Stillbirth (SSB) is an essential component of the FUTURE STAR equation. Sires selected for this trait carry genetics specifically chosen to produce more live, healthy calves.
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.
Alta CONCEPT PLUS sires are known for their high fertility. Using real pregnancy check data from progressive dairies across North America, these sires have been evaluated for fertility and are proven to create more pregnancies than the average bull.
