“EPIC was selected as one of the high-ranking genomic young sires and was popular from the very early days of his career,” said Scott Ruby, senior vice president, international sales and product management, World Wide Sires LTD. “Customers around the world have appreciated EPIC’s ability to sire outstanding dairy strength and trouble-free cows that last for many lactations.”
EPIC sold more than 775,000 units of semen in his lifetime and was especially popular in herds throughout Europe and North America. With more than 45,000 daughters in his production proof and 23,505 daughters in his type proof, EPIC was a customer satisfaction superstar. Holstein Sire Analyst, Kevin Jorgensen said, “EPIC sires a no-holes pattern that producers around the globe love. He was an early fitness specialist and today he carries Select Sires’ Mastitis ResistantPROTM designation. EPIC’s influence will continue through his offspring, including impressive sons like 7HO12111 DRAGONHEART.”
