National & World Ag News Headlines Accelerated Genetics' Man-O-Man Bull Dies USAgNet - 05/11/2012 Accelerated Genetics has announced that one of its top sires, 'Long-Langs Oman Oman,' better known around the world as 'Man-O-Man,' has recently passed away. But the cooperative says the bull's death does not mean an ending for his influence on the Holstein breed, as his legacy will be carried forward by his clone, '014HO06429 Man-O-Man 2.' "While we will forever be appreciative of the genetics that Man-O-Man offered to breeders around the world, the torch has been passed to Man-O-Man 2," says Vice President-Sales and Communications Gary Fassett. "Fortunately, within the next six months Man-O-Man 2's lifetime semen production will surpass that of Man-O-Man. This will allow Holstein breeders to use Man-O-Man genetics for the foreseeable future." Man-O-Man has already made a tremendous influence around the world and is a favorite of many Holstein breeders. Following the April 2012 sire summaries, Man-O-Man was the #2 sire on the top 100 U.S. TPI list with +2247 TPI. In addition, Man-O-Man is the highest 100-percent RHA proven bull in the breed for TPI.
