Australian Jerseys once again, give a world class performance

Mar 3, 2025

Brookbora Borung. #1 ranked daughter proven Jersey in the December 2024 ABVs

The final ABV release in December clearly demonstrate the strong performance of Genetics Australia sires and clearly shows why our 2025 bull teams are the strongest we have ever made available.

Australian Jerseys top the local bull tables and are building in demand around the world, it is easy to see why. The highest bull in Australia with daughters milking and a publishable ABV is BORUNG [Malachi x Askn] at $427 who is closely followed by DOUGGAN [David x Murmur] $376 BPI.

We congratulate both Brookbora and White Star Jerseys for breeding these two world class bulls. We also thank them for supplying other top bulls from their herds and to all the breeders of the other Jersey bulls in the team, several with multiple bulls in the Team. It is of no surprise that Australian Jerseys breeders have developed some of the best cow families in the world and we are fortunate many of the resulting bulls from these top families are in the current Jersey Team.

In the Australian Reds Breed, we introduce new sires ARBMOPOKE [Cygnet x VR Firmino] $282 BPIg and ARBCHARLIE [Caesar x Tokyo] $316 BPIg, as the two highest bulls standing in Australia. We thank Longroad Australian Reds and Oaklands Pastoral Australian Reds for breeding these highly rated young bulls.

These bulls are closely followed by ARBSKEETA [Onstad x Foske] $270 BPIg and ARBNORMAN [Primestad x Faber], a new 2025 addition and bred by Oaklands Pastoral Australian Reds.

CNLYONS [Beemer x Ilex] remains the No.1 BPIg Illawarra sire and also tops the Sustainability Index (SI) list. He has attracted widespread interest, and we thank Hamilton’s Run in Mt Gambier for breeding such a top-ranking bull.

It has been several years since we have included an Australian standing Guernsey in our team. The wait has been well worth it, PAPARAZZI is turning heads with his stylish appearance. His Dam, Kerrilyn Pistol Peach EX94 2E has taken the world by storm in the past few years. She is Australia’s higher ever Guernsey cow and was named All Australia Cow in 2022 & ‘23. She was also Senior Champion Cow, Best Udder and Grand Champion Cow at IDW in 2022 & ‘23, and Supreme Senior Champion All Breeds IDW in 2023. Based on early feedback we would be surprised if he is not one of the most popular Guernsey bulls internationally in 2025.

Also included in this catalogue are Brown Swiss and Montbeliarde sires, which are listed from leading international suppliers.  Montbéliarde sire included in our Summer team are PORTORICO [Nino JB x Jebalan] and SAVINO [Paraguay x Mitsouko]. Brown Swiss sires worth highlighting are SUPERSTAR [Blooming x Payssli] and PAYMAN [Paypal x Arrow]

You’ll also discover our ‘Summer Specials,’ offering not only the best from our team but undoubtedly the best value as well

The December ABVs release clearly demonstrates Genetics Australia’s commitment to supplying elite genetics from a wide range of breeds to current and future dairy farmers.

Bulls in the Genetics Australia teams are world class and farmers can be confident they are using elite bulls selected for their daughters to perform well in Australia.
