Nope, Genex only does theirs in February, I think Select Sires is about the same time. Evne ABS will have a new one in a couple of months.

Most of the major studs wait until after Denver to send out the catalogs. Not sure why, but I think it is so they can catch all the news from Denver on the sires in the catalog and if they buy something at Denver.

No catalogs yet but Genex and ABS send out quarterly publications that sometimes introduce new bulls before the catalogs comes out.

The Cdn book vs the US catalogue will vary greatly. Mostly due to health tests

I had to chuckle when I saw my old info posted.
Anyway, the reason I always have that info is because I print it each year in my newsletter because I purchase semen in bulk orders for our members - anywhere from 400-700 units each spring.
NBI is out of business - too bad, use to get a 50% discount!
I have a different # for Select 1-540-483-5123 but they have several numbers for ordering books.

I edited my original post to remove NBI. The other number for Select Sires is still listed on their website. We don't AI but use the stud books to help us evaluate when making replacement selections, male or female. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was tossing a lot of the older books. I've wished I had them back on many occasions! It took me a while to find your original post, but I knew I certainly appreciated it when I wanted to get on their mailing lists. I thought some of the newer people might appreciate it also. To Jeanne, thanks again!

I did the same thing so the oldest one I have is Carnation Genetics from 1983. Wish I had some of those old ones back.

I finally bit the bullet & canned a bunch of the real old ones. Don't know how old the oldest are, but sure is nice to have around.
fit2btied - you're welcome.
