The State of the Gir Weekly — GirTank

Your weekly window into the world of Gir — the news, the market, and the genetics moving right now.

Week of July 13 – July 20, 2026

🖋 The State of the Gir

The most significant development this week is that the Roundup has begun tracking new listings for the first time, capturing a total of 43 postings from nine seller sites across four countries. This marks the catalogue’s opening inventory rather than a weekly crop of new arrivals.

Those listings comprise 23 embryos and 20 semen, a fairly even split. Among the priced embryo listings—ten in total—the median asking price sits at $154. Brazil leads with 22 listings, followed by Mexico with 11, India with 8, and Colombia with 2. The sire most offered is Girolando, appearing in nine listings, followed by Gyr (three listings), Gir Leiteiro (two), Gyr Lechero (two), and Gyr Lechero Y Girolando (two).

The initial snapshot provides a key baseline for tracking market dynamics, enabling future comparisons as new arrivals populate the catalogue.
