Leaders daughterproven rankings in Germany maintain positions
2023-04 Proofs
After a long wait, we can welcome the new German indexes of April 2023, with basic adjustments of -5 for B&W and -4 for R&W. The introduction of new breeding values has not changed the number 1 bulls among the daughterproven Holsteins and Red Holsteins in Germany.
Young genomic sires
Arrozo-son Arizona has been dethroned during the April 2023 index run, not only on the basis of RZG, but also gRZ€. Newcomer RUW Champion*, a SHS Clapton son from BMN Elli (by Freemax), which was sold for € 12,800 during the Highlight Sale 2021, takes Arizona's place regarding gRZG. Champion definitely lives up to his name and defied his strong opponents with 160 gRZG, 126 gRZE and 128 gRZN. Former leader Arizona drops 8 points in his gRZG score and now tests 159 gRZG with a good amount of milk. Place 3 is also occupied by a debuting genomics sire, namely the American Peak Saiko (Magnifique x Pursuit), which excels in gRZ€ with 2698 and owns a big will for production with a score of 153 gRZM. Highest Dutch genomics bull in Germany is again 3STAR PB Krispy at place 8 (down 1 place compared to December). Krispy is a Progenesis Pinball from the American Art-Acres Kay 721 EX-90 cow family, which is expanding in Europe with high offspring in multiple systems. As an embryo, he was imported from Canada by GenHotel. Again highest RDC & polled sire is the German-bred Skat P RDC, a Sponsor P that goes back to the deep American cow family of Regancrest-PR Barbie EX-92. Where he scored 164 gRZG in December and was ranked 4th, Skat P RDC drops to 7th place and now tests 158 gRZG. Based on the gRZ€ index in Germany, the American Peak Rainow (AltaZazzle x Explosion) takes the lead with 2744 gRZ€! In the genomics list of the total breeding value gRZG, this popular sire of sons can be found in 9th place with 158 gRZG.
The number one in genomics tested R&W sires is again Koepon Sirius P Red with 162 gRZG! This grandson of the Global Red Impact Cow 2021, Lakeside Ups Red Range VG-86, excels with his +0.28% fat and +0.08% protein, 129 gRZN, 128 gRZGes and top scores for FUN and EUT. In addition to the number 1, this proof run is once again filled with more bulls bred by GenHotel members, or better: the entire top 5! The outcross Red Rocks Mask Red, bred by Red Rocks Holsteins from the Massia family, also manages to maintain his position with 158 gRZG and Voorhof 3STAR RUW Spooky Red rises one place to be 2nd in the rankings with a huge gRZG of 160! In December, this snow white Star P RDC from a VG-85 Match P RDC debuted and knows how to still live up to all his expectations by growing into the new number 1 gRZ€ with 2729 gRZ€! De Oosterhof 3STAR Fresco Red, which dropped from place 2 to 5 compared to December, can still be found in the top R&W with 158 gRZG. The Freestyle-Red son descends in several generations from the French brood cow Radieuse EX-91. The highest debutant is the 3STAR OH Ranger-Red son GlH Redford, bred by Geestland Holsteins. Redford, owned by RBW, is a member of the Des-Y-Gen Planet Silk cow family and storms into the list with 160 gRZG, putting the German dairy farm of the Funck family on the map!
Again, the great Tirsvad 3STAR Member PP Red (156 gRZG) is the No. 1 gRZG homozygous polled red sire with only a three-point drop in his overall index. The K&L OH Matty P RDC son, stationed at RUW, can be found this proofrun in 14th place. Also notable is Member's maternal brother 3STAR Tirsvad Ranking P Red, which can be found in the top lists for the first time with a gRZG of 157, and after the aforementioned Redford, is the second highest Ranger-Red son based on gRZG.

Progeny proven
Continuing to be the absolute number one is DG OH Topstone, co-bred by De Oosterhof. Although he has dropped five points in his total breeding value, with 156 RZG he remains well ahead of the number 2 PG Super Uno (152 RZG), which continues to rise and gains two places in this ranking compared to December 2022. Striking is the huge number of daughters of number 1 Topstone, the Topshot son from the Prudence cow family. Where in December he had 677 lactating daughters in his index, this proof run increases the number to more than 2380! Rising to third place compared to the last index week, we find Super Uno's full brother with 149 RZG, namely Suprem. Although the new number 4 Garido has dropped 1 point in his index to 149 RZG, this Gymnast son has risen four places in the list and remains just ahead of AI stud-mate and popular sire Casino. The breeding value (148 RZG) of this bull sired by Charley is now supported by more than 4300 lactating daughters in Germany. Storming into the top 10 at number 10, is Siemers RUW Rafting, imported as an embryo. Although we find the American Ragen son in 28th place in December with 142 RZG, the Whittier-Farms Outside Roz offspring shows his strength and has also increased 3 points in his RZG score in this April turn. Highest polled sire is - again - KNS Simon P, bred by GenHotel member KNS Holsteins. With 143 RZG, the former sire of sons can be found in 14th place. The highest newcomer to the progeny proven, black-and-white RZG list is Synetics' Soundbar, Sound System x Rubicon. With 89 daughters the bull - also - bred by KNS Holsteins scores 145 gRZG. Soundbar is a grandson of the VG-88 scored Tramilda KNS Cutchen.
For no less than the fourth time in a row, completely undefeated, remains in charge: Aperol P Red with 145 RZG! This top proven sire is followed by the 143 RZG (unchanged) scoring, Dutch Caudumer Solitair P Red bred by the Haytema family. In December we found the polled R&W bull by Salvatore RC in fourth place and now he has climbed to the 2nd place. The highest newcomer to this list is also the full brother of Solitair P Red, namely Caudumer Snickers P Red at RSH/Phönix with 141 RZG and 278 daughters in lactation. Snickers joins his brother and is just behind him in 3rd place. In place 4 we also find a debutant from the Netherlands, namely Schuit 3STAR Embrace Red (139 RZG). He's delivered by Schuit Holsteins & GenHotel and an Emperor RDC son from Wilder K 1004 RDC VG-86, supplied as an embryo by Wilder Holsteins. Striking is his excellent 127 RZGes and +0.35% fat and +0.24% protein. Dropped from place 2 to 5 compared to December 2022, the 139 RZG scoring Bentehoek is Andy-Red (by Anreli-Red), which has doubled in number of daughters to more than 1400. A remarkable appearance in 8th place, namely Solito Red is a Salvatore RC from the KHW Goldwyn Aiko RC/Kamps-Hollow Durham Altitude cow family. Not only is he ranked 8th with 137 RZG, but with 138 RZE, Solito Red is also the highest, proven type sire in Germany!
