OLYMPIAN Jasper, said to be one of the only two bulls in the world to combine type scores above 2 and a PIN of more than £40, has been added to Cogents stud.

He is a Jabot son, out of the Spibys Dixie family, with a 93% reliability production proof of £50 PLI and £41 PIN, says the company.

Jasper is said to have an 81% reliability type proof of 2.06 for type merit, 2.38 for legs and feet and 2.01 for mammary system.

According to Cogent geneticist Marco Winters, Jasper is one of the most complete dairy bulls in the business and can be used to produce long-lasting productive cows.
