NUMBER 1

Unbelievable... After humiliating the highly ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and Wisconsin Badgers and winning the BIG 10 conference, the Penn State Nittany Lions were left out of the National Championship Final Four. The selection committee named the Buckeyes among the final four. Huh?? Enjoy the Winter!

SMALLER IS BETTER? 1. I’ve been reading the articles touting smaller cows are better for the modern dairy. 2. I disagree. TONS of waste roughage can be fed to develop well-grown, large heifers. 3. Larger heifers calve easier. 4. On the back end, these cows bring extra $$$ on culling.

“I was surprised... we saw udder quality noticeably improve.” — Rusty Herr

GOLDEN ROSE GENETICS, Rusty Herr CHRISTIANA, PENNSYLVANIA Now 50 Holsteins, 3 Jerseys: 25,700M 967F 814P Since 2005: Bred 25 EX cows, 9 descended from Pronto Ritzi

Rusty Herr believes every cow deserves to be treated like a queen. That is his goal at Golden-Rose Genetics in Lancaster County, Pa. “I like breeding and milking healthy, comfortable cows that last. Udder Comfort™ fits that philosophy by supporting the cow and udder after calving,” says the young dairyman who bred 25 EX in 11 years, 9 of them descendants of Pronto Ritzi. A year ago, he sold 175, downsizing to 50 cows in a new tiestall barn. “I had tried other products, without much effect, so I was surprised by Udder Comfort. Last year we had fresh 2-year-olds selling. Udder Comfort 2x/day for 7 days really brought out the udder quality and potential.” “We don’t have much edema, but with Udder Comfort, we still saw udder quality noticeably improve. It definitely brings down swelling faster and better than anything else, and it’s great for skin, not irritating like some products.”

Still in the herd are 16th, 17th and now 18th generation EX (l-r): Oakfield Pronto Ritzi 3E EX93, Golden-Rose Atwood Ritzi 2E EX93 and Golden-Rose Braxton Ripley EX90. Atwood Ritzi is the highest scoring 17th gen. EX in the world and dam of 3 of the 4 18th gen. daughters in the world. She has 130,000 lifetime at the start of her 4th lactation.

Quality pays!

Be encouraged and call us today for nearest distributor. We will help you get started. Farm milk prices appear rising. Keep culling those unprofitable cows monthly. Notice OPEC reduces oil production when oil prices down. Aim for 1.5% cull rate or higher/month. Culling speeds progress, saves time, money & effort, & increases your profits. You deserve a break. Our products will help increase your profits and make milking cows more enjoyable again. Try, and you’ll see why so many state, national & world-record cows and their herdmates are on this system.

A happy, safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all! Distributors needed in select locations.
