Dairy Co produce tables for Genetic Trends for all of the Dairy Breeds in the UK, and I have been looking at the differences between the Five main Breeds, Ayrshire, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey.
There are 14 Guernsey heifers in the January 09 Dairy Co rankings that have a GMI of more than +350, they are sired by 9 different sires and the list is dominated by 6 daughters of Trotacre Jay Mr Luck in the Briddlesford herd.
There are 18 Young Guernsey Bulls with daughters born in the UK that are awaiting their first proofs, the number of daughters listed are registered with EGCS and most of these bulls will have additional daughters in herds on Guernsey Island.
