International Protein Sires gained stature resulting from the December 2012 sire summaries. "The additional daughters in 6HO1126 Rockwell's proof provided further stature to his top 100 TPI World Ranking. A new proven sire graduate and recent high profile genomic proven young sires have elevated the IPS Holstein sire lineup still further. These enhancements support our objective in breeding cows rather than numbers. And this approach to dairy cattle breeding has gained favor with dairy farmers around the world," stated Ron Sersland, President and CEO of IPS.
