ANOTHER FROM THE FAMILY

NUMBER 8

HERE WE GO AGAIN... The NCAA just released the results of their pre-season football rankings. Again, as usual, the BIG 10 teams are vastly overrated, with 8 among the top 25. The conference has had only two teams even make the playoffs since its inception five years ago!

The Matriarchs Come Through Again

BONE STRUCTURE

Three of the main matriarchs in our herd showed up again when we scored in June, transmitting through their family members.

Seldom addressed but important just the same, is bone structure. A Purdue study determined that mammals with bigger, stronger bones produce more muscle. When I analyze my Angus, bigger knees relate to bigger bones, more muscle and a prime grade. In dairy, bone structure relates to strength, and we know its importance!

Great job, Dunn County 4-H judging team, winner of state judging contest. Grandkids Fritz & Hannah Ullom, nephew Ben Styer, and Abby Powers. Good luck at WDE!

Congratulations to our customer Rusty Herr and Golden-Rose Genetics Golden-Rose BarBritzi B-Red EX90 93MS

Rusty chose complementary matings, then introduced Absolute Red to this deep pedigree, producing Britzi’s dam (above) Golden-Rose ABS Ginger-ET*RC EX94. Ginger is owned today by our customers at Ridgedale Holsteins, Sharon Springs, New York.

Straight Excellent back to 1930’s and the famous Audrey Posch. Congratulations to buyer Ferme Blondin!

Three-year-old Golden-Rose BarBritzi B-Red EX90 93MS with her Jordy calf at the Legacy of Golden Rose Sale June 28, 2019 in Christiana, Pa. She was purchased by Ferme Blondin, Saint Placide, QC, Canada. She was fresh in March, milking 100 lbs with a 5.7% Fat test. S. Bunting photos

TheWorld’s first 20th generation EX in Holstein breed and Red!

Rusty purchased Britzi’s 4th dam Oakfield Pronto Ritzi EX93 2E (above) as a heifer, breeding the recent 4 of 20 gen. EX. During June classification, Britzi was praised for her level udder floor, teat size, shape and placement.

“

I tried other products without much effect, so I was surprised when I tried Udder Comfort in 2015. Fresh 2-year-olds received Udder Comfort 2x/day 7 days and it brought out the quality and potential. It works faster and better than anything else, really softens udders. --Rusty Herr
