MEET THE SIX NEWEST SIRES calling the St. Jacobs Linear Choice lineup home. This blog has all you need to know about the latest new releases, and these sires truly embody where FORM MEETS FUNCTION.
We have seen that a range of customer types use Linear Choice sires, despite the fact that they were first created to provide a solution for commercial dairy producers. Because Linear Choice sires are hand-selected to produce balanced cows, you can anticipate moderately sized, healthy, and productive cows from these right-side linear sires.
Let’s dive into these new releases!
94HO20383 ZEUS-PP
ZEUS-PP is a very balanced and complete bull, right-hand linear including strong udder traits, and positive female fertility traits. He offers a strong percent Fat and Protein, almost 1000 PTA Milk, and is Homozygous Polled. ZEUS-PP is one of the very rare bulls that checks all these boxes and his calves will be naturally hornless! Backed by a North Irish line of the Rud Zips, use ZEUS-PP to create balanced cows that milk well, look good, and will be hornless.
94HO21467 JENNINGS

94HO21710 LODGE
Over a point and a half on type with over 1100 PTA Milk, high percent Fat and Protein, and strong fitness and health traits describe what you will find with LODGE! His daughters will not only be good-looking but will also be healthy, have low cell count and mastitis occurrences, and be profitable cows with their high components. LODGE wraps right-hand linear, production, components, and fitness into one package.
94HO21721 MURPHY
MURPHY is over +1500 lbs Milk, has strong components, will produce cows who look good, will last, and be fertile with healthy udders.

MURPHY is a perfect example of the kind of bull we look for in the Linear Choice program.
