What’s on the Horizon?

Nov 13, 2019

Each year at this time we start to get information on our Horizon genomic sires as their daughters hit the milking shed. It”s an exciting time for all involved as the potential new daughter proven sires emerge from the group and the reports from the field start to roll in.

This year we have a range of sires that we will be following closely, and we will be nominating to the breed societies to enable their daughters to be classified and contribute to the Type Breeding Values. Our target list for 2019/ 2020 is:
