Top Tri-State bull Caprie-ET dies after leg injury
Tri-State Breeders Cooperative reports the death of its top sire Caprie-ET from a three place leg fracture and subsequent infection after an accident around mid August. An autopsy showed the injury prevented healing while four infectious bacteria halted recovery despite extensive efforts. Caprie’s semen will be preserved but no stockpiling occurred. Ripley notes four other proven sires will continue to carry desired Holstein traits, with several available semen sources including Lekker Ivanhoe Bell Jesse-ET and Bear-Path Fantastic. Caprie had predicted differences in milk and fat and left 27 daughters in 19 herds averaging high milk yield and fat.
