Selection figures before daughter proofs
Sire's dam best lactation: 4132 kg — paternal granddam milk depth on the card.
Why dam kilograms matter
Young AI bulls are judged largely by the dam's recorded lactation and fat. NDDB mean sits near 2,573 kg; only about 1.63% of recorded cows clear 4,000 kg. Read this figure against that curve — not Holstein expectations.
Parentage as published
Limited to the public card and research harvest. Missing generations stay blank — not invented.

Science that frames every dossier
Morphology
Red coat predominant (~80%); red with white spots common. Convex forehead, pendulous leaf-like ears with terminal notch, lyre/half-moon horns, thoracic hump, loose skin and dewlap for heat dissipation.
A2 tendency
High A2A2 frequency in literature for Gir does not replace lab genotyping for an individual animal — not printed on these cards.
Heat hardiness
As a tropical zebu, Gir is selected historically under heat, sparse forage, and parasite pressure.
