The STgenetics® Balanced Breeding Sires lineup creates high scoring and extremely functional cows that can excel in any environment. Namely, this program brings sires that provide the correct amount of economic, health and composition traits to the breeding table for today’s dairy producers looking to make moderate sized, high performing and profitable cows. Now, STgenetics® is pleased to introduce, STructure™, the evolved framework behind Balanced Breeding genetics.
STructure™ is more than a breeding program, it's a philosophy of genetic excellence, designed to deliver balance, functionality, and performance across diverse dairy operations. It’s built on three distinct product lines: STable, STellar and STyle. These product lines are all focusing on making cows that combine production, conformation, and long-term functionality and each tailored to meet specific herd goals.
“When I travel the world, I listen to the breeders and what they're looking for, I had more producers ask me for balanced bulls, bulls that just really meet their needs and don’t have extremes,” says Brian Behnke, STgenetics® Genetic Program Specialist. “However, the definition of balance changes at every farm and every breeding establishment, by segmenting these different product lines the way we have, it just makes it much easier for all of us to really focus on what these bulls truly provide to the breeders.”
STructure™-STable
The STable product line focuses on productivity, longevity, and health and is customized for producers prioritizing moderate stature, consistency, fertility, and feed efficient cows. STable genetics reduces replacements and interventions, improving herd stability and efficiency. The traits emphasized in this product line include: production and health, Cow Conception Rate and Calving Ease and strength. STable sires help breeders build resilient, fertile herds for sustained productivity and genetic improvement.
STructure™-STellar
Next is STellar, which represents the top tier in breeding programs focused on producing high-type animals with superior conformation and appeal while providing positive production traits. This product line focuses on combining visual excellence with structural soundness for long-term productive herd performance. The traits with the most emphasis here are milk yield and components, exceptional conformation and high genomic production and body composite. STellar genetics helps breeders succeed in competitive exhibitions by enhancing visual quality and durability.
STructure™-STyle
The final product line is STyle, which offers a genetic profile tailored to make high type animals with showring appeal. STyle uses pedigree information and proven breeding strategies to make the next generation of competitive animals. This product line supports herds that prioritize premier pedigrees and proven performance through time-tested cow families by emphasizing final score, udder and feet and legs, frame and style and show-winning genetics.
