Milk!
MAY 2022
NUMBER 4
It’s time for a PARTY!
It is the basic force of the breed. It is also the reason why the Holstein breed has become the world’s biggest breed. Production! Milk! That’s what Holsteins are really, really good at. And that’s why dairymen around the world have always loved high production sires, sires that transmit oceans of milk. If they do so, dairymen are often ready to accept some minor deficiencies for other traits. When the daughters of Pawnee Farm Arlinda Chief came along, dairymen were ready to excuse the volume of their udders, since they milked in such a superior way. But milk does not always come with larger udders! When Cal-Clark Board Chairman arrived at the scene, Holstein cows could produce lots of milk from beautiful udders! Now a new unequalled production sire has broken through, and he is unequalled for more than one trait. Never before has the breed seen a milk bull that showed so much milk: +3397lb. And he combines that with a record high TPI – never before has the breed seen a daughter proven bull higher than 3100 TPI, but he does it: 3172 TPI. That’s based upon 1,329 daughters in 75 herds, so his reliability stands at 99%. Welcome to: Mr T-Spruce Frazz Lionel!
