Picston Shottle has been making a big impact in America, being the first British bred and tested bull in history to top the Holstein World annual sales review.
Shottle, who is owned by the UK based breeding company Genus ABS, has taken top place on the listing. Holstein World analysis’s all the US cattle sales that have taken place in 2006, showing the top sellers and also publishing a list of bulls that sired the highest average price per lot sold. Shottle came out at Number 1 with an average of his progeny standing at $8,825 on 104 lots sold, and this was a massive $600 more than the next sire.
“We are extremely pleased that Shottle is being recognised around the world and this review shows the incredible confidence that breeders from around the world have in Shottle and UK Genetics,” commented Andrew Rutter, Breeding Programme Manager for Genus ABS. “His ability to breed great type, longevity and production ensures that Shottle will add real value to any herd, wherever it is in the world.”

ICMSA Receives Confirmation From Taoiseach Ahern On Herd Scheme
THE President of ICMSA, Jackie Cahill, has confirmed that the association has received a personal undertaking from Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to introduce the Dairy Herd Premium Scheme for which the farm organisation has been pressing.
Mr Cahill said he was delighted to receive the confirmation during a meeting with the Taoiseach and the Minister for Agriculture Mary Coughlan at Government Buildings.
Minister Coughlan told the ICMSA delegation that she expected the details of the Dairy Herd Scheme to be finalised shortly and both sides discussed the ICMSA proposal that such a scheme would be supported by annual funding of s50 million. The introduction of a Dairy Herd Scheme would represent a considerable achievement for the farm organisation who have long argued against any developments or proposals that they felt discriminated against dairy farmers.
Turning to other matters, Mr Cahill said that he had emphasised the need for a radial overhaul of the Farm Inspection system, including the critical need for pre-inspection notification.
Minister Coughlan assured ICMSA that she would continue to seek EU changes to allow for pre-inspection notifications and that definite proposals on this matter would be considered by the EU Farm Council at its meeting in Luxembourg in April. Amongst the other matters discussed by the farm delegation and the Government team, were WTO, tax and stamp relief for farm consolidation enlargement and the funding of the various farm grant schemes.
