The August proofs for cows were published yesterday by Dairy Co and the CDI website was also updated, whilst reviewing the top 1000 cows, I looked to see which had daughters that may/should in time appear at the top of the list.
I have used the PLI rankings as all of these 10 have a PLI calculated where as those sired by young US bulls have no GMI calculation. I have tried for more than two years to get EGCS to address this problem, but unfortunately the individual responsible has no interest in breed development and has failed to to get the problem resolved.

The Brymor herd of Diane and Robert Moore has half of the 10 heifers listed and it would seem that the system at Brymor with robotic milking and a TMR on offer for 12 months of the year is delivering the goods.
Six different sires and 8 different maternal grand sires give variety for the future.
