E225 Stud Wars: April 2025 – The Genetic Force Awakens


Listen Later

Sexing Technologies emerges as the Death Star of dairy genetics, commanding 130 total TPI sires (32.5% market share) and a staggering 160 NM$ sires (40% dominance). Their genomic firepower is unmatched, with 79 genomic TPI sires (39.5%) and 107 genomic NM$ sires (53.5%)—marking a +33.5% NM$ surge since June 2024. ABS Global retaliates with a Sith-like grip on polled genetics, controlling 137 Polled NM$ sires (68.5%), up 46.5% year-over-year.

Rebel Strongholds & Niche Battles

The PTAT sector remains the Rebel Alliance’s territory: Blondin Sires, Inc. leads with 56 total PTAT sires (14%), while ASCOL and Semex Alliance secure 15.1% and 17.3% shares, respectively. The "Others" faction dominates here, holding 51.7% of PTAT, proving small studs still thrive in type traits. Meanwhile, Semex Alliance rules Red & White PTAT with 76 sires (38%), a +17% surge since 2024.

Proven Genetics: The Old Guard’s Last Stand

Alta Genetics and Select Sires anchor the proven frontlines:

  • Alta Genetics: 78 proven sires (13% share) across TPI and NM$
  • Select Sires: 74 proven sires (12.3%) but faces -10.6% TPI decline
  • Sexing Technologies expands its beachhead with 51 proven TPI sires (25.5%)

Special Forces & Stealth Threats

  • GENEX: Quietly amasses 82 total sires, including 46 NM$ warriors
  • JLG Custom Services: A rebel sleeper cell with 28 total sires (3.5% proven PTAT)
  • CRV: Holds 31 total sires, including European-focused genetics

The Galactic Map of Power

  • Total Genomic Empire: Sexing Technologies (230), ABS Global (197), Semex Alliance (172)
  • Proven Rebellion: "Others" cling to 45.4% share (273 sires)
  • Polled Supremacy: ABS Global’s 137 sires dwarf rivals (Sexing Tech: 15, Select Sires: 18)

Conclusion: The Stud Wars’ balance has shifted—genomic titans consolidate power, while PTAT remains the rebellion’s hope. Dairy commanders must choose: ally with empires for profit or back rebels for diversity. The future of Holstein genetics hangs in the balance.
