Ten years ago, we set out on a mission to challenge our competitors and drive up the quality of dairy genetics in New Zealand. Today, we are proud to announce that we have reached another milestone in this journey. Samen NZ has achieved not just one, but multiple #1 positions on both the RAS (Ranking Active Sires List) and BW Bull List (NZAEL AE 19/09/2025).

‍RAS (Ranking Active Sires) List:

BW Bull List:

- #1 BW Jersey bull (among all breeds with BW Reliability ≥70%)

- #2 Jersey BW bull (513/70) on the Jersey list.

‍

Our genetic programmes continue to outperform the competition. When comparing our Fast Forward Pack and Samen NZ High NZAEL BW Team averages against another New Zealand Holstein-Friesian Fast Forward Pack, the results speak for themselves.

This represents just one of many milestones to come. Farmers have expressed their needs, and today we deliver news of index success. However, these sires, along with the majority of our catalogue, have much more than just index performance to offer.
Polled genetics, A2A2, significant udder improvements, medium stature, and fertility are all key focuses that have helped us build a range of sires bred to deliver the next generation of dairy cattle with exceptional longevity to farmers nationwide.
‍

For farmers already using Samen NZ genetics in their herds, we thank you for your support and are proud to deliver these results. We will continue to raise the bar for you.

To farmers considering the change to Samen NZ, we look forward to breeding a herd that complements your dairy farm's system. It's never too late to get started, it's a smooth process, and there are thousands of farmers across New Zealand now breeding better herds with us!
