At the center of the program is a simple promise: Where Form Meets Function. Linear Choice is built to deliver cows that not only look right on paper but perform where it matters most—YOUR BOTTOM LINE.
Our Linear Choice program continues to grow, being backed by the trusted genetic expertise of the St. Jacobs brand. What sets this lineup apart is our intentional focus on balanced, easy-to-use sires selected specifically for commercial dairy producers. Every sire in the lineup is chosen to help build healthier, more fertile, longer-lasting cows that fit today’s management demands, supporting your goals for your future.
Linear Choice sires are designed to bring consistency to your breeding strategy. With an emphasis on right-hand linears, they help produce moderately sized, well-built cows with strong production, structural integrity, and dependable health. In short, they are the kind of cows that producers want more of because they are functional, profitable, and built to last.
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 June Linear Choice releases bring the same proven strengths producers have grown to expect from this lineup, adding even more depth and opportunity to an already impressive group of sires.
