Dear Customer
We are delighted to bring you Cogent’s spring 2013 catalogue in which genetic diversity is a strong theme.
In a breeding environment in which bloodlines are in danger of becoming too narrow, the Cogent stud has risen to the top and now has the world’s number one Profitable Index (PLI) sons of Shottle, Goldwyn, Bolton and Baxter.
So, if you are aiming to widen the range of bloodlines you are using in your herd, we are confident you will find just what you are seeking amongst our bulls.
Investing in the best genetics is something that will have a major influence on your farms profitability for years to come. We are delighted to receive such positive feedback from our many customers on how Cogent progeny are influencing their individual businesses. With the utilisation of genomic data within our bull selection process we are confident we can continue to make an even greater contribution

to your herd’s future welfare and profitability.
Cogent sexed semen is another trusted path to increased farm profits and as global market leaders in this technology, we are consistently seeing excellent results with this product. Utilising dairy sexed semen enables you to carefully select the elite females from which to breed heifer replacements while at the same time having the option of using Cogent’s superior beef sires on the remaining portion of the herd to produce a valuable calf for sale.
We look forward to meeting you at the major shows we will be attending this summer.
