Jerseys
KawakawaMagic crossNothing could prove more potentially exciting than the magical cross of Maunga x Manhatten. High flying new graduate Okura Maunga Kawakawa-ET is just that and has launched himself onto the New Zealand charts as a dual index bull whose daughters carry exceptional udders and are extremely well-liked by farmers. 
ManhattenProtein KingNo other Jersey bull in New Zealand can touch the sire Manhatten for his protein power, overall conformation and farmer appeal. Now in his fifth season since graduating in 2003-04 Manhatten still maintains the no.1 New Zealand Merit Index (NZMI) spot for the breed and is yet to be dethroned after five years as the highest ranking jersey sire in the country for protein, with a current protein BV of 37kg, clearing his nearest rival by 8kg! 
MurmurRoaring to No. 1The Jersey breed in New Zealand has a newcomer in its midst that has roared up the charts mercilessly shunting other Jersey sires aside in his wake. Unlike his name Okura Lika Murmur SJ3, there is nothing quiet about the way this new graduate has stepped past all other Jersey sires to claim the number one spots for both New Zealand Merit Index (NZMI) and Breeding Worth (BW) in the Jersey breed. 
ZealotA rare acquisitionWhen the first New Zealand sons of Jersey super sire Okura Manhatten burst on to the scene a year ago as proven sires in their own right CRV Ambreed’s Whitimore Man Zealot shouldered his way above the rest with a production and type profile emulating that of his famous sire almost identically. Now a year later he holds steady as the CRV flagship for Manhatten sons transmitting tremendous protein and milk production, from capacious milky cows with superb udders. |
