This division of the Association is responsible for the contract mating and the selection of the top young bulls for sire proving in herds throughout New Zealand. Both proven and unproven semen is sold to members at a very competitive rate with some semen from bulls only available through the association. The New Zealand Milking Shorthorn Association is now working alongside Semex. Semex and the RBG Committee have put together a catalogue of bull semen which will suit the commercial dairy farmer nationwide.

You should now have received your Semex catalogue with the 2020 bull team. If you haven’t received your catalogue please get in touch with you Semex Representative.

There are four new bulls presented by RBG for 2020:

Westell Carbo Arlo S1S – AB Code 520555
Brecon Sonic Boom – AB Code 520556
Brecon Kaikora – Ab Code 519541
Brecon Antonio S1S – AB Code 516540

Along with these bulls, you can also obtain semen for other RBG bulls and some overseas genetics is also available. Once again talk to your representative about your needs or make contact with any of the RBG committee or give me a call on 06 3292648.

Just a reminder that if you autumn calve, you may have a bull which would be eligible for selection in the 2021 Bull Team.  So check your young bulls to see if they have the characteristics which we get asked for such as polled, roan A2A2.
