Some exciting results for scoring the bulls this week…..

The popular Stantons RIGHT STUFF PP was raised to EX-96 !
RIGHT STUFF-PP is believed to be the 2nd highest scored living bull, surpassed only by teammate A2P2-PP @ EX-97.
It also makes them the 2 highest scored polled bulls… ever.

Congratulations to Stanton’s on breeding this superstar which combines their genetics on the top & bottom side of his pedigree.
Right Stuff daughters are calving in now and we are hearing great comments!

These great scores could not be achieved without excellent care, development & production on our bulls provided by the team at ST stud in Listowel- Huge thanks!

This proof week had lots of moving pieces - new formula changes & the yearly genetic rollback.
Right Stuff-PP & sons went against the trend with nice increases!
They are some of the most balanced – complete bulls on markets with ideal caseins & all polled!

New record!

What we believe is the 1st time in history of Holstein breed in Canada that 2 of the Top 4 sires with most progeny registered have been Homozygous Polled (PP). Also interesting to note they both are from Validity/ Vector and both are A2A2
Validity/ Vector is pleased to be at the fore front of modernizing of the Holstein breed as seem by the increasing shift towards elite Polled & A2A2 bulls in Canada and around the world.
A2P2 -PP continues to be the “go to bull” for many producers worldwide – as seen in the chart with 1 in 10 calves born being sired by A2P2. We feel RIGHT STUFF-PP is the perfect mating on typical A2P2 daughters. The RIGHT STUFF’s are beginning to calve in and we are getting great comments & pictures -keep them coming !

3 of Top 6 heifers in the breed are sired by 724HO02037 Stantons OVERHAUL-P

Overhaul-P calves are creating excitement and many are testing well above PA.
His dam was #1 GLPI cow in Apr & Aug’25 and his full sister recently scored VG just fresh; adding confidence to the mating.
Overhaul-P is impressive as well - scoring VG-88 at 22 months age.
He has an easy to use- complete profile with ideal caseins A2A2 & BB and added bonus being polled.

She is a result of crisscrossing our best males and females for many generations.

We are excited to see the transformational shift A2P2-PP is making in the Holstein breed.

Earlier in 2025 he reached maximum score EX-97 and became highest scored polled bull ever
Now he ranks #1 for “Most Registrations in Canada” and again the 1st polled bull to ever achieve this feat.

A huge thanks to all that have contributed to A2P2’s success; the producers in Canada (& worldwide) that have embraced and utilized him in a big way; the team at Select Sires Canada for the tremendous job marketing him in Canada and the staff at ST Listowel for their exceptional care & semen production
