Diamond Sires are ‘Rock Solid’ bulls
with over 1,000 milking daughters.
Therefore recognising sires with
outstanding Second Crop success and
ensuring genetic accuracy.
Rock Solid Genetics highlights sires
with over 100 daughters in 60 herds.
Providing stable Type and Production

sires Identifies from sires Genus within ABS. the Genus
ABS stud with the easiest Calving
Ease ratings, based on hundreds of
observations. Calving Ease sires enable
cows to get off to the best possible start
after calving.
Based on over one million services a
year, Genus ABS are unique in being
able to identify fertility ratings of our
stud. The bulls with the highest Semen
Fertility are identified with this symbol.
Identifies those bulls that score well
on the traits that are desirable on a
grassland system, locomotion, fertility
and body condition score etc.
Identifies those sires who’s daughters
show improved daughter fertility. Use
these sires to maximise the reproductive
