12027 Storflor has many strengths making him a perfect sire for dairy farmers who are undertaking crossbreeding worldwide. He has high component percentages and yields, excellent mastitis resistance and fertility, gives excellent udders, is very good for heifers matings, and in addition to that, his beta-casein is A2A2. His daughters are expected to have a wide chest, a great body depth, wide rumps with a correct angle. His index for claw health is also very positive, which means farmers should expect low lameness frequency from Storflor’s daughters.
Storflor’s pedigree combines 11819 Onstad and 11078 Gopollen, popular daughter-proven bulls that have produced great daughters both in Norway and internationally when used on Holstein cows. His indexes for milking speed and temperament are also very positive. As said, Storflor's profile has plenty of good reasons to make him so high on demand.
“Storflor is expected to become a “daughter proven” sire by the end of 2022. His first daughters will start calving in Norway in the spring with most of them calving in the next summer. We are excited to see how they will perform, and we are very confident that they will meet farmers' lofty expectations,” expressed Håvard Tajet, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer of Geno.
His breeders, Karoline and Odd Magne Storflor are currently managing their farm in Trøndelag, Norway. Karoline and Odd Magne have successfully improved their herd’s genetic gains and over the years have delivered several sires and heifers to Geno’s testing- and AI station for commercial use.
