The December proof run has shown that Cogent continues to be the destination of choice for productive genetics. Not only are we home to the top genomic bull for milk, Genosource Jefferson (1,458kg milk), but we offer breeders a highly productive and balanced vision for your next generation. Taking top spot for average milk and average combined fat and protein kilograms, we are sure to have a bull to meet your high production needs.
Our commitment to producing highly productive and sustainable genetics is exemplified by the fact that more than half of the new entrants in our December 2024 catalogue derive from Cogent’s internal creation programme.
With standouts like Cogent Casemiro (£PLI808) promoting production with over 1,000kgs of milk and positive percentages, Cogent High Contrast (£PLI788) offering a balanced linear packed full of production at 1,000kgs milk with 86kg solids and Cogent B Tulsa (£PLI679) a productive bull built to last, offering an outcross option for early adopters of Genosource Captain and 51.5kg Fat.
Speaking of Captain(£PLI799), he has made history as the first bull to take the #1 TPI spot for a 7th consecutive run (+3336 TPI). His genetics continue to make waves, such as Genosource Jumble (£PLI709) who combines a balanced linear with type and Captain’s production capabilities and Cogent High Pace
(£PLI861) who offers a vision for the future on the most profit-focused farms.
This proof run also celebrates the transition of several Cogent bulls from genomic testing to proven status. Drouner K&L Chase (£PLI570), one of our most sought-after bulls, debuted with 110 daughters in the UK that excel in consistency, productivity, and longevity. While Kopeon Oh Robin-Red is now the #1Proven LPI Red & White bull in Canada (+3532 LPI and +8 Conformation), #1 Proven R&W bull in Switzerland (ISET +1430) and #2 R&W Proven bull in Germany (RZG 145).
Our aim remains the same, to offer our customers the future that you want through genetic progress that will leave an indelible legacy on your farms. The Cogent Difference lies in delivering more than just bulls – we provide tailored solutions to advance your herd’s potential and ensure a sustainable future.
