Dairy producers around the world are choosing Linear Choice sires. You might be asking, “Why?”
The answer is simple: Linear Choice is Where Form Meets Function.
While only a few years old, the Linear Choice program is built on the time-tested trust and genetic expertise of the St. Jacobs brand, but with an additional concentration on balanced sires that are easy to use for dairy producers. Every Linear Choice sire is intentionally selected with commercial dairy producers in mind. Our approach to genetic selection for this program focuses on helping farmers create balanced, healthy, fertile, and long-lasting cows—cows that work for today’s dairy producers and the future they are planning for.
Linear Choice sires are designed to deliver consistency. Each one produces well-built, productive, and healthy cows by emphasizing right-hand linear traits. You can except cow that are moderately sized with strong yield figures, structural integrity, and reliable health traits. This focus on the kind of cows producers want—the ones that boost profits—results in high customer satisfaction and continued global growth of the Linear Choice program.
At ABS, we recognize that no two dairies are the same. That’s why we deliver genetic solutions tailored to a wide range of operational goals. Our diverse product portfolio gives you the flexibility to build the herd you want—on your terms. Our April releases bring the same proven strengths producers expect from the Linear Choice lineup, adding even more depth and opportunity to an already impressive group of sires.
Let’s meet the new release sires.
