Genomic Giants Become Proven Success Stories at World Wide Sires August 2015 genetic evaluations show

that WWS bulls continue to rise to the top, leading the industry in TPI, PTA Milk, Protein, Fat and Type. This round of genetic evaluations was especially remarkable, as WWS claimed the top 6 spots on Holstein Association USA’s Top 100 TPI list, and 7 of the top 10.

7HO11351 SUPERSIRE remains the No.1 proven TPI sire, increasing to +2715 GTPI, and 7HO11314 MOGUL maintains his No.2 position with a GTPI of +2570.
