With the 2025 season well underway, Genetics Australia is excited to share a preview of some of the standout young sires about to enter the market. These bulls represent the strength of our domestic program, now supercharged by our partnership with URUS and the integration of the Peak breeding program — delivering elite global genetics selected and developed for Australian conditions.
Holstein Highlights
ZEPHYR
Decipher x AltaMagnifique
Back in 2023, Genetics Australia joined the URUS family and launched a bold new chapter in bull development — and Summit View Zephyr is an outstanding example of what that collaboration can deliver. Bred from one of Peak’s elite donor dams and born right here in Australia, ZEPHYR is the first genomic sire to emerge from our new co-operator program.
With strong positives for milk, components and functional type — including longer teats — ZEPHYR is a modern, well-balanced bull with broad appeal. He’s expected to be available from June–July, so contact your GA representative to secure early access.
WILARA NOUGAT
Candyman x Bolti
A heterozygous polled bull that ticks many boxes for today’s Holstein breeder. NOUGAT improves both fat and protein yield, adds strength through chest width, and maintains moderate stature. Add excellent health traits — 112 for Survival and 114 for Fertility — and you’ve got a versatile sire that delivers on performance and function.
WILARA LOLLYMAN
Candyman x Varley
Combining two of Australia’s most influential cow families — the Carenda Vs and the Wilara/Gallrae Lola’s — LOLLYMAN brings extreme fat and improved feed efficiency, making him well-suited to the current economic climate.
WILARA CONRAD
Yolo x Bolti
With a diverse pedigree that includes Pepper, Stoljoc and Pierre, CONRAD delivers high fat and protein alongside a +521L milk boost. Strong across the board, he features excellent udder traits (106 Mammary System) and a 106 Survival ABV, meaning he’ll contribute both yield and longevity to any herd.
Jersey Gems
TULLYP
Boyd x Matt
From Rob and Kerrie Anderson in Gippsland, TULLYP is a heterozygous polled Jersey with +562L milk and a 402 BPIg. Strong across type, fertility and survival, this is a bull that Jersey breeders will want in their joining plans for 2025.
VATMAN
Vast x Hatman
A type specialist from the Wallacedale Melanie family, Vatman boasts a 109 ABV for Overall Type and positive components and workabilities. Whether you’re breeding for the ring or for robust replacements, VATMAN is a smart choice.
GT
Starlord x Douglas
Named by breeder Daryl Hoey in honour of long-time friend and GA legend Greg Tiller, this bull lives up to the name. Balanced and modern, GT excels across production, fertility and health traits — a versatile option for progressive herds.
These sires are just a glimpse into the strength of our upcoming lineup. With more bulls on the horizon from the PEAK and GAH programs, Australian dairy farmers will continue to benefit from the best of both worlds — elite global genetics, tailored for local conditions.
