“ ... for our fresh cows, especially 2-year-olds.” — Tom Kestell

TOM AND GIN KESTELL, EVERGREEN-VIEW FARMS, Waldo, Wisconsin 130 registered Holsteins BAA 111.4 (52 EX, 71 VG) RHA 45,000M 1710F 1397P, SCC 100,000 2016 Holstein milk production records in 6 of 8 age divisions 2017 National Dairy Shrine Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder

“We use Udder Comfort™ for our fresh cows, especially 2-year-olds. We don’t have much mastitis or extreme edema. We use this product on fresh udders to speed up circulation and bring out any swelling they might have. I also like rubbing it on hocks. We have good success with this,” says Tom Kestell, 2017 NDS Distinguished Dairy Breeder. Happy and healthy cows are the focus of the dairy Tom and Gin Kestell started in 1971. Evergreen View Farm, Waldo, Wis. is home to 130 cows with RHA 45,000M 1710F 1397P, and 2008-15 World Record Cow Ever-Green-View My 1326-ET. Her 72,147-lb record was surpassed Jan. 2017 by daughter Ever-Green-View My Gold-ET with 77,477M.

Thousands visit the farm and genetics have gone to 30 countries. Tom loves everything about dairying and balances high genomics with his focus on type and production. “Where it is needed, Udder Comfort really works. It has been a good product for us,” he says. Quality Udders Make Quality Milk

Selling choice of 5 #1 IVF female embryos by Doorman, Avalanche RC or MAS. First eggs to be sold out of her! Dundee Annelise was Grand of the WDE Jr Show and is a 2X AA & AC nominee. But her real fame is coming as a brood cow. She has no Goldwyn or Bookem in her pedigree. Her December Doormans stood 2, 5 and 6 at WDE and made up our Jr Best Three that stood third! She also had 1st, 2nd and 5th Dec calves in the WDE Jr Holstein show with Res JC!

Sid Blexy

is one of our best heifers. She is directly out of the WDE Supreme Champion Blexy EX-96 EX(98)MS. She’s born in March and can show. She is ready to IVF and already has embryo interest.

Also selling choice of ten Sept calves from Craigcrest Sidney EX-92 max, the Sid dtr of Rejoice EX-94; Avalanche embryos from an EX Alexander x EX-95 Camomile; and Goldwyns x Dundee Hez EX-92. We thank Eduardo Ramirez and Esteban Posada from Mexico for buying a great group of 50 heifers; Vincent Beaudoin of Quebec for buying 20 two yr olds; and Ferme Jocelyn Cote for purchasing 20 head! Congratulations and thank you to all the buyers of Borderview Genetics this year. It has been a great start to our business and we are thrilled with the success of many people who have purchased cattle from us.

Flicka EX-92

1st 125,000 lb cow Int’l R&W Show 2017 Flicka was purchased by our great neighbors and friends, the Carpenters, and won the production cow class at WDE for them. She has a dtr selling in Nashville for the Carpenters! Another winning purchase by the Carpenters is St-Jacobs Stormatic Adel, Grand Champion VT Jr Holstein Show and 2nd ESE open show.

Shampagne

1st Jr 2, Int & Res Grand NE Fall Nat’l 2017 1st Jr 2 Yr Old Int’l R&W Show 2017 Shampagne was sold before her class at WDE to Westcoast Holsteins in BC, went on to win her class that day, and then win the Westerner show in Canada a few weeks later. We wish Westcoast great success in the future with Shampagne.

Other winners include Brennan Wolker, IL on Rogga Atwood Elize EX-94 Res Champ IL Championship Show; Mike Strowd, NC for the HM Jr Champ NC State Fair with a Dec calf from the Alley family; Amelia Sammetinger, OH for Addiction Luchesse-Red, Res Jr Champ OH State Fair R&W Show.

Automatic ~ Alexandra

WDE was full of thrills, but these two girls took our breath away. Congratulatons to the Walker and Weigel families on their success with these two Doorman dtrs of Dundee Annelise EX-95. They stood 1 and 2 in the WDE Jr show Dec Calf class, and 5 and 6 in the open show. Alexandra was the Supreme Champion Heifer for the Weigels at the WI Jr State Fair as well!

We have a large number of heifers in our barns for sale and eggs in the tank from many greats. Check out our website at www.borderviewgenetics.com.

Fertility continues to attract attention regardless of geographic location or the size of your dairy. Genetic advancement is not achieved without conception and a resulting pregnancy. Our REPROJET lineup highlights sires with high Sire Conception Rates (SCR). Focusing on fertility along with elite genetics delivers a greater number of high-value pregnancies.
