STgenetics® global genetic leader, CAPTAIN, has made history being the first bull of the Genomic Era* to achieve six consecutive proof runs as the #1 sire on the Top 100 International TPI® Bull List provided by Holstein Association USA.
This milestone validates genomic technology and the improvement it has made on modern cattle genetics. Pushing industry boundaries, STgenetics® along with CAPTAIN has together created a legacy of incredible generational genetic improvements.
CAPTAIN was introduced to the industry in April of 2019 as the #1 TPI Genomic Young Bull. Since his first achievement he has claimed international success by topping the charts in the U.S., Canada and the UK. He claimed the #1 TPI sire on the Top 100 International TPI® Bulls List in December of 2022 and has now held this spot for six consecutive genetic evaluations, a feat that no other proven sire from the genomic era has achieved.
CAPTAIN added 1924 daughters to his proof for a total of 6077 daughters, proving that performance is in his genes! For the August 2024 Genetic Evaluation, CAPTAIN came in at an impressive +3331 TPI and is +1408 NM$. He has proven time and time again to make impressive daughters that are high performance with beautiful udders as he combines his production traits of +2462 Milk and +243 CFP with an impressive Udder Composite of +1.57. And continuing his international dominance, CAPTAIN also holds steady for LPI & Pro$ Sire in Canada at +3728 GLPI and +2666 Pro$ and he also remains #1 in UK as the top PLI sire.
The global consistency and performance CAPTAIN has achieved is one STgenetics® is extremely proud of. “CAPTAIN is a bull unlike any other our industry has seen, and we are looking forward to seeing what else he and his sons will help our dairy producers achieve,” states STgen™’s Founder & CEO, Juan F Moreno.
