COGENT BILL
WINTERSELL DEMON
Balisto x Epic x Goldwyn
Deman x Gerard x Goldwyn
Cogent Bill has been one of
the most popular Excelgen
sires of recent times due to
his all round combination
of health, traits, good type,
components and being bred
from a strong cow family. Bill
ranks very highly in a number
of European countries on
their respective bases. With
excellent components and
being our #1 sire for cell
count within the EU and low
scores for calving ease this
jet black bull ticks a lot of
boxes. Bill has the added
bonus of being a BB kappa
casein and A2A2 beta casein
sire which complements the
high components extremely
well. Early reports on progeny
suggest they are easily born
calves with plenty of vigour. Bill
is available sexed.
Demon is another fat and protein specialist – especially for protein
percent as he is the current #1 protein sire in the Excelgen line up. In
addition to high percentages Demon offers good DPR and very good PTAT
and mammary scores. Demon is bred from the Mila family – a family
proven to be hard wearing long lasting dairy cows competing in large herd
environments. Proven favourites Wintersell Milo and Curtismill Wintery
are bred from the maternal line also.
