Hotspots, Summer 2013 Dear Readers, Dear friends, The summer has arrived! Farmers are busy bringing crops in but some of us have also experienced the downside of summer, flooding in parts of Europe and devastating hurricanes in the US. Being in our industry, summer also means preparing for the show season and all the events that surround it.

These shows and events have such a big impact on our industry, first of all it is a great place to watch magnificent cows, next it is a place where young people can develop themselves, learn that without hard work there will be no success and also learn to live with loss.

How many of our current industry leaders have their roots in the show ring. Next it is THE meeting place for people working in our industry. All players from IFV/ET centers, A.I. companies to the truckers benefit and from the hard working breeders to volunteers.

Therefore, I ask every participant in our industry to financially sponsor and support their local show, judging contests, national shows and other similar activities.

Without your financial input there will be no more shows and you are the one benefiting the most from this hard work. We like to thank all the volunteers that make all these great days possible for us. A big big thank you from the complete Hotspots Team.

Very best regards, The Hotspots Team

Rainyridge Tony Beauty

Queens of Longevity “Nobody could have ever predicted the sort of fame she would generate,” shared Steven Boerchers, Rainyridge Holsteins, Manitoba.

Considered by many as one of the greatest show cows of all-time, Rainyridge Tony Beauty was scored Excellent5E CAN 9* and the oldest Holstein to ever win the title of Supreme Champion at World Dairy Expo at the age of 14. Beauty had a long and illustrious career spanning throughout the 1990s and capturing All-Canadian Mature Cow four-times and All-American Mature Cow threetimes. Beauty has proven not to be just another pretty face. Her lineage is having an impact in countries around the world with names like RF Outside Breeze Excellent-95 and her daughter Rainyridge Talent Barbara Excellent-95 and Beauty’s granddaughter Topmark Rudolph Beauty also scored Excellent-95.

Early roots Purchased over the phone in 1982 at the Spring Sensation Sale was Despics Tempo Diane Very Good-85-3YR-CAN and the start of the Beauty story at Rainyridge. The mating of Marshfield Elevation Tony to Diane was a careful selection by Ron Boerchers, founder of Rainyridge Holsteins, and the start of the legend of Beauty.

Beauty had three direct daughters scored Excellent and nine Very Good. “It is tough to pick just one of Beauty’s daughters because they all transmitted well but Rayverley Prelude Evelyn had the biggest impact. Ten Comestar Leader embryos from Evelyn were purchased by

Ray Brown, Rayverley, Manitoba, resulting in four heifer calves, one was Leader Ezra and the other was Leader Eva,” Boerchers, shared.

It is from this branch that the family continues to grow and develop especially in Europe where the Beautys are quite popular.

Eva, Etain and Eara Rayverley Leader Eva scored Excellent-90-CAN is a daughter of Rayverley Prelude Evelyn Excellent-90-3E-CAN 13* and the dam of Rainyridge Shottle Etain Very Good-89-3YR-CAN. Etain was nominated All-West Junior Two-Year-Old in 2008 but is best known for her red carrier daughter, Rainyridge Mr. Burns Eara Very Good-89-CAN. Eara was shown throughout western and central Canada as a heifer being named All-West Junior Calf in 2008 and Nominated All-West Junior Yearling and Junior Two-Year-Old. “A very marketable line of the Beautys is Rainyridge Mr. Burns Eara, who has daughters and granddaughters selling in the sale [Rainyridge Dispersal Sale, June 24, 2013]. This family has been very popular in Europe producing the former No. 1 gRZG red-polled female in Germany,” Boerchers said. Rainyridge UR W Ella-P Red, the Laron-PRed granddaughter of Eara topped the Mox Type and Utility Sale in September 2012 selling for €21.500 to Heavenly Genetics and I-Cow Holsteins, UK. Direct from Eara is Rainyridge Gerard Enemy *RC with a GTPI of +2058 making her among the highest red carrier females in Europe.

Enemy is co-owned by Roccafarm and Diamond Genetics and due in August where owner, Ivo Hulsbosch, Roccafarm, is excited about calving her in. She has two polled Ladd-P heifers (one red and the other black) and one red Ladd-P bull calf awaiting genomic results.

Selling for €15.000 in the 2013 Eurogenes Summer Sale was another fantastic daughter of Eara, Rainyridge RZH Planet Elaine. Elaine graced the cover of the Winter 2013 edition of Hotspots and is scored Very Good-88-2YR-NL. Now owned by Oosterhof Holsteins of The Netherlands, Elaine is the tremendous Planet daughter placing second in the two-year-old class at that National HHH-Show in 2012.

She is also one of the highest GLPI cows in Europe at +2957 and the highest daughter of Eara.

This branch of the Beautys is far from complete with Eara due again in August and Rainyridge looking forward to continuing to work with one of Mr. Burn’s greatest daughters.

Steven Boerchers, Rainyridge Holsteins

"The Beautys have always consistently transmitted strong udder attachments with lots of veining, correct functional feet and legs and have stamped sharp dairy chines and show style into this family as well as the longevity they have been known for."

the title of mature cow at the Royal Winter Fair and went on to be named All-Canadian Mature Cow in 2003. She has seven daughters classified in Canada and all are Very Good or Excellent; highlighted

by Rainyridge Dundee Ember Excellent-93. And another great brood cow for the Boerchers, Rainyridge R Marker Ella Very Good-88.

Rainyridge Talent Barbara Excellent-95 is the red carrier Talent daughter of RF Outside Breeze Excellent-95. Breeze a granddaughter of Tony Beauty and daughter of Raverley Briana Milan Excellent90-3E-CAN.

In Switzerland, Ezra’s daughter by Champion has breed some fantastic show daughters in the Ruegruet herd. Rainyridge Champion Ezmeralda EX-90-SW was bought during an auction in Germany at an A.I. in Sachsen, which is now Masterrind.

“RF Outside Breeze was bred as virgin heifer to Talent resulting in Barbara. Breeze had an extreme front end for a heifer almost too much. The cross with Talent complimented that feature as well as he was a calving ease bull. We got lucky with her carrying the red gene.

Patrick Ruettimann, Ruegruet

We were really excited with Barbara in the months prior to her calving. She was housed at Ravenbrook during this time when long time friend and business partner Sheldon Froese called one day and said you need to see this heifer. He went on about how this big jet black two-year-old was 62 inches tall and had a pot of rib and this long sleek neck," shared Boerchers.

“When she calved for the first time she was a bit heavy but after she matured she became more and more dairy. That counts for all the Tony Beauty family members we had at our farm and I think that is in the same line as Tony Beauty herself, with the years and each calving she became better and better.

Ezmeralda has been flushed this lactation to Aftershock and is now bred back with hopes to calve again for the sixth time. Out of her we have a Mr. Sam daughter who was successful at the heifer shows. She was first in her class at Lausanne 2010 and is now a good milking cow in our herd. We have three Jaspers, the most well-known is Ruegruet Jasper Esperanza who was a successful show heifer in Switzerland before she was sold to Ponderosa, she should now be fresh for the second time,” Ruettimann explained.

The oldest daughter of Ezmeralda is a Roy Racer who went Excellent-91 in her last lactation and keeps getting better and better as she ages. “I think the Roy Racer is the first fifth generation excellent from the Tony Beautys. From the Roy Racer we have sold many embryos to different countries in Europe and in the coming years a lot of heifers will calve out of this family and we are really looking forward for that.

Because at first they might seem to be a little heavy, with the years and calves they become better and better,” says Ruettimann.

Shortly thereafter, Barbara was brought back to Rainyridge to calve out and the realization set in that they had something special. “Barbara developed like a typical Beauty slow at first but with loads of potential,” Boerchers said.

Barbara made the trip to the Royal Winter Fair as a junior two-yearold placing 18th but was back as a junior three-year-old and nominated All-American and All-Canadian. As the 2010 show season approached, Barbara was one of the most talked about show cows.

“We made the decision before she went to Madison that if the opportunity came and our price was met we would let her go. We had numerous offspring from her already and were in a great marketing position if she was sold. The decision to sell was made much easier knowing that two great cattle and business men such as Ernie Kueffner and Tim Abbott would be her new owners,” shared Boerchers.

Barbara had it all

When asked about how the partnership formed, Kueffner replied, “I had just purchased the cow and Tim Abbott was managing St. Jacobs ABC when he saw Barbara. He really loved her and he had bull interest as well. He asked if there was a way for him to get in on her and I liked the cow too much to sell all of her so we formed a partnership.”

Barbara went on to win the five-year-old class at World Dairy Expo and the Royal Winter Fair and was the 2010 Unanimous All-American and All-Canadian Five-Year-Old.

“Dad always knew Beauty was special as a bred heifer, but Barbara was quite different. She was never shown as a heifer, we always thought she needed a bit of refinement. As a young heifer she was big and gangly, but still attractive,” shared Boerchers.

Seems like a perfect fit especially considering that 18 years earlier, Kueffner fell in love with Barbara’s great granddam Tony Beauty and tried to buy her but the owners would not sell.



The marketing of Barbara was a team effort and the decision was made early on not to sell any embryos from her to keep the cow exclusive. “I had the privilege to keep her [Barbara] under my care, so I had a bit more input because I was handling and working with the cow on a daily basis. Matings and marketing decisions were always discussed first though, and we were always sure to come to an agreement,” Kueffner said.

Barbara’s story continued when she topped the Kueffner Kows at Cowtown Sale and Complete Dispersal for $230,000 to River Valley Dairy, Illinois. Barbara had already proven herself in the show ring and had become a household name. Her daughters were commanding top prices and she fit many markets from type to red to genomic.

Sadly less than six months later, Barbara was lost to cancer.

Global and St. Jacobs ABC, Rainyridge Perseus is the unique red carrier Jasper son of Barbara with a PTAT of +2.94. At International Protein Sires, the Barbara sons have also been quite popular. Hylite BarbwireRed, the Shaquille son of Barbara has been siring junior champions across Canada and the United States and embryos by him are still in high demand.

Success in the UK

Rainyridge Talent Barbara *RC EX-95-USA 2010 Unanimous All-American and All-Canadian 5-Yr-Old

Ernie Kueffner, Kueffner Kows

“Her legacy won’t be able to reach its full potential simply because she could’ve produced more offspring. However the daughters I’ve seen are very impressive and considering the scores and success of Barbara and the three dams behind her I’m optimistic for them as cows."

To date, Barbara has eight daughters scored Very Good-86 or higher and like all things legacies take time to build and develop.

Red Superstar Helping with that legacy and following close behind in the excitement surrounding Barbara is her red carrier Superstition daughter, Rainyridge Super Beth Very Good-86-2YR-CAN. Beth is owned by Cormdale Genetics, Diamond Genetics, Anderstrup and Al-Be-Ro and was the high seller of the RockyMountain High Sale 2011 for $79,000. She has a GTPI of +2130, DGV LPI of +2925 and is outcross.

Most importantly she has become a breed leader in producing huge red carrier genomic offspring. Her daughters are testing exceptionally well with Calbrett Supersire Barb *RC the No. 1 *RC GTPI and GLPI heifer in the world currently with a GTPI of +2527. A first choice Numero Uno from Super Beth was sold on the 2011 Sale of Stars to RockyMountain Holsteins and their selection, Calbrett Uno Baby Girl, is also red carrier and among the top females in the breed with a GLPI of +3109 and GTPI of +2377. Full sister Calbrett Uno Brin *RC sold for $47,500 on the Vente Nationale de Printemps this past spring and also ranks among the top 15.

Rainyridge Super Beth certainly adds a unique new element to the Beautys and her story will continue as she sells in the Cormdale Summer Sale on July 29 with her outstanding daughter, Supersire Barb.

From Barbwire to Perseus the Barbara sons are doing well stamping out daughters excelling in elite show type. Available through ABS

The export of Tony Beauty's Astre daughter from Stanhope resulted in the successful establishment of the family in the UK. Mark Nutsford from Riverdane Holsteins in Cheshire first saw Tony Beauty as a milking four-year-old at the Royal Winter Fair where she was placed fourth in the best class of cows he had ever seen. She was awarded Best Udder that day, and this seems to be her trademark even now.

Mark Nutsford, Riverdane

“She just had such a good udder and such potential, you could tell she would make a great cow. I have never had a bad one, they all have unbelievable udders however you breed them.”

And breed them he has. While a friend was on the phone to Stanhope inquiring about a different heifer, Mark asked him to find out if there was anything left from Beauty. There was one maiden heifer by Astre, and after the deal was done, she was shipped to the UK. Stanhope Berdina Astre went on to make a lifetime production record of over 220,000 lbs. of milk and scored Excellent-92-3E. Her first daughter, by Rudolph, was sold as an in-calf heifer, but Topmark Rudolph Beauty Excellent-95-3E developed into a great framed show cow and went on to win the Royal Highland Show for new owners, Ridgefield Holsteins.

It was Berdina's second Excellent daughter by Counselor that went on to breed the most successful line of Beautys at Riverdane with Riverdane Stormatic Beauty Excellent-90 taking the Royal Show honors and her Goldwyn daughter, Riverdane Goldwyn Beauty Very Good88, repeating this a few years later taking Champion Heifer.

One of the best cows in the Riverdane herd today is Carnation Beauty's last daughter, Riverdane Goldwyn Beauty Very Good-89. Due in August, she will be the next member of the family to hit the show circuit, following on from the Reserve Championship at the 2012 Dairy Expo, which was awarded, to the first place four-year-old, Willsbro Berdina Howie Very Good-89. Mark sold the Riverdane herd to Willsbro in 2008 but bought the Howie back as a heifer. She was the last daughter to be born from Stanhope Astre Berdina, but it is certainly not the last time this family will impact the UK show rings.

Known for their longevity, this industry favorite cow family deeply rooted in show type has crossed over to red and added in the index.

This combination will allow for the legacy of the Tony Beauty family to continue to be written for years to come.

choose your favorite North americaN or europeaN show cow kamps-hollow weigland aj-et excellent-93 eevee at 4-05 Breeder: Ryan Kamps, Wisconsin, USA Owner: Ryan and Troy Weigel, Wisconsin, USA show Results: • Reserve Senior Champion, Midwest Spring National 2013 • 1st 5-Year-Old, Midwest Spring National 2013 story: Kamps-Hollow Weigland AJ-ET is a great show cow from a family known for their high indexes. Born August 2008, AJ is a daughter of the well-known show type bull Wilcoxview Jasper. Her dam is an Excellent-90 Champion and direct daughter of the famous Kamps-Hollow Altitude.

Breeder comments: Ryan Weigel - “AJ has been the standout cow for both type and production since calving as a two-year-old. Fresh with her third calf in January, AJ peaked at 145 lbs. per day and has held close to that ever since. She was raised to EX-

93 just three days fresh and I think there’s more points in her. As with many of the Altitudes, AJ keeps getting better with age. AJ has daughters in the Weigland herd by Alexander, Braxton, Dempsey and Damion and calves coming by Aftershock, Atwood, Braxton and Windhammer.

She’s short bred to Atwood and will be IVF’d again after confirmed pregnant. AJ has full sisters in Europe and embryos exported.” Also inter-

esting to note, AJ developed from some non-freezable No. 2 and No. 3 embryos that were put in at Weigland due to lack of recipients at Kamps-Hollow.

siemeRs alisha gold ava-ets excellent-95 eeeee 2e Breeder: Crystal Siemers-Peterman, Wisconsin, USA Owner: Crystal Siemers-Peterman, Wisconsin, USA show Results: • Champion Bred & Owned, WI Championships Show 2012 • 2nd Aged Cow, Midwest Spring National 2012 • 3rd 125,000lb. Cow, International Holstein Show 2012 • Junior All-American 5-Year-Old 2011, 4-Year-Old 2010, Junior 2-Year-Old 2008 • HM Junior All-American 3-Year-Old 2009 • Nominated All-American 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011 story: Siemers Alisha Gold Ava-ETS was born March 2006 the Goldwyn daughter of EO Siemers Ashlyn Alisha. Alisha sired by Gibson was the start of a very successful story of the Ashlyn cow family at Siemers Holsteins. It all began with a purchase of 10 embryos from Ashlyn, which resulted in Alisha and four other females of which one turned out to be EO Siemers Ashlyns Angel-ET EX-96 GMD. The Goldwyn flush from Alisha hit a home run producing Siemers Alisha Gold Ava-ETS, who besides a beautiful show cow is also a massive producer making a 365 day record of

56,330 lbs. of milk with 4.1% 2301F and 3.3% 1865P. Breeder comments: Sherry Siemers “Ava is special in the fact that she has been nominated for Junior All-American and All American in many different stages of her development, as a heifer, young milking cow, mature cow and last as a 125,000 lb. production cow. She is a great milk cow that always looks beautiful and is super to work with. Ava never misses a beat and she has become the pet of the barn. She is also trans-

mitting which is important to her future legacy. We sold a Sid daughter this spring in Wisconsin that was an awesome calf. We are proud of the notoriety she has brought to the farm, carrying our prefix is important to showing what our breeding program can produce. Ava is not done yet, she is taking a year off and will be bred soon for pregnancy.”

valleyville Rae lynn veRy good-89-2yR-can Breeder: Frizzells Valleyville Farm, Prince Edward Island, Canada Owner: Quality Holsteins (Canada), La Ponderosa (Spain), Al-Be-Ro (Italy) show Results: • All-Ontario Senior 2-Year-Old 2012 • Reserve All-Canadian Senior 2-Year-Old 2012 • Reserve Intermediate Champion, Ontario Spring Discover 2012 • 1st Milking Yearling, Autumn Opportunity 2011 story: Valleyville Rae Lynn was born October 2009, the Sanchez daughter Eastside Lewisdale Angelina EX-90-2E-CAN. Angelina is the Champion maternal sister to Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy EX-95CAN; so it can be said that she has a tremendous show pedigree. The genomic index of Rae Lynn also shows a great type number with +16 for Conf. and +2437 GLPI in Canada. Rae Lynn was purchased at the age of 11 months at the Island Heat Wave Sale, she was a long, tall really well balanced heifer.

Breeder comments: Ari Ekstein “Rae Lynn is a dream come true for all of us at Quality. Anytime you buy a young heifer you always dream that they will

calve out with a great udder. Rae Lynn fulfilled and exceeded all of our expectations. When we brought her out as a milking yearling there was a lot of interest in her. We are thrilled that we were able to keep a part of her and own her with such great partners. We are hoping she will make it to the Royal again this year on the same lactation. She is fresh since last October and still milking over 100 lbs. per day. She has a tremendous appetite and an amazing natural will to milk. One of Lynn’s best characteristics is that she looks the same every day. Cows like her

are easy to get ready at a show, fill her with feed and milk and she does the rest. We plan to calve her out again next spring and anticipate that she will be “on the money” to contend with the best in 2014.”

Currently, Rae Lynn has an Atwood and Lauthority daughter housed at Quality that carry high genomic numbers for type and GLPIs of +2690 and +2398.

ashlyn vRay excellent-94 eeee Breeder: Vray Holsteins, France Owner: Ponderosa Holsteins (ES) & Al-Be-Ro Holsteins (Italy) show Results: • Reserve Senior Champion European Show Fribourg 2013

story: One of the most spoke about cows from 2013, Ashlyn Vray. Purchased by Ponderosa Holsteins in France, with a great pedigree as a

Goldwyn x Lheros x Lee. Ashlyn Vray won the Reserve Sr. Championship in one of the heaviest classes ever shown in the world, the Senior Class at the European Show in Fribourg!

As well she was part of the winning Spanish country group. Ashlyn Vray is bred back again and is one of the cows to beat next year for the show season.

Breeder comments: Pepe Ahedo: “Ashlyn is the best cow we’ve ever had and made global fame for Ponderosa Holsteins after her great pictures and performance at the European show in Fribourg. She is bred back now and will calf in October by Windbrook. The plan is to show her next year at some international shows like the Swiss Expo in Lausanne.”

story: Vanity is one of the most promising young cows for the future in the European show ring. She is owned in a partnership with some Italian top breeders, including Al-Be-Ro Holsteins from G. Rossetti. Vanity is a Goldwyn dtr from a VG-87 Damion from an EX-93

Artreius and became world famous with her performance in the European Show ring where she won the Junior Championship!

ber Al-Be-Ro Holsteins purchased a part in this heifer and after that she won the Jr. Championship at the European Show in Fribourg. Until so far we have a Alexander son and we flushed her to Aftershock and McCutchen and try to get her pregnant so we canshow her at the Italien National Show in 2014 in her 2nd lactation.

story: One of the greatest dtrs of Baxter for type in the World with no doubt. She had a remarkable year with winning Grand at the Eurogenetique and two top 3 places at the most competitive shows in the World, the European Show in Fribourg and the Swiss Expo in Lausanne, and getting the maximum score of VG-

89-FR 4yr. Delicia stems from one of the most successful bull producing families world wide, the Comestar Laurie Sheik’s, from bulls like Lauthority, Lee, Outside, Stormatic, Starleader and more.

Breeder comments: Olivier Wilt: “ We have purchased Baxter Delicia after the Eurogenetique in 2011 as a 2yr. old where she was 3rd

in her class and won Best Udder. Her udder and dairy character are some exrtremely strong points of Delicia with a tremendous udder texture and rear udder. She is doing great for us, with a Dude son went to Ascol in Spain and a beautiful 8 months old Sid dtr we have on the farm. She is currently in flush program, first flush will be to Doorman.”

 What you should know

when you lease your bull

You have a high testing bull and want to lease him to A.I.?

Which options do you have? What are the do's and don'ts? Hotspots spoke to experts who will help you through the different choices in lease contracts.

tic. “It means that you only get your royalties on domestic sold semen, for us it would be Canada. But that's a limited market."

What do Atwood, Bolton, Chevrolet, Observer and Shamrock have in common? They are privately owned and leased by A.I. organizations.

Leased bulls are a worldwide trend, which breeders can consider, and will be offered in many different ways. Steve Velthuis, Velthuis Farms, Ontario, Canada is experienced with leasing bulls, “Why should you be satisfied with $10,000 for a bull when you can make much more money? I only lease my bulls with an open end contract and royalties.”

Especially in this genomic era it's profitable. “It looks like the highest genomic bulls also end high in the rankings with daughter proof, like Observer. From that time sales go exponential. One hundred thousand doses sold all around the world is nothing.”

"Always go for payments on global sales. That is a huge market and changing domestic to global are multi-million dollar words.”

Read the small print Velthuis signed his first lease contact about six years ago. It was with Goldwyn son Atwood. “That time there were only bull contracts with caps and small percentages. If I would have made $200,000, I would be doing really well.” As Atwood was the highest PTAT bull worldwide, Velthuis knew he had something special and wanted a better contract so he started to negotiate. “Read the small print”, he advises.

“Take your time to read every word in the contract, ask what definitions mean and what covers the sales.” For example the word: domes-

Steve Velthuis, Velthuis Farms

Another advice is: be cool. “A.I. organizations do their business, you do yours. Off course you choose an A.I. company that suits you, where you have pleasant contacts and where you are treated nice. But don't think therefore the contract will be in your favor. That's not how it works.”

Make sure the A.I. has a strong infrastructure to move a lot of semen globally. “There are only a handful of those A.I. organizations in the world.” Smaller A.I. organizations have more trouble selling big amounts. “I prefer five dollar royalty over 10, when the A.I. can sell 20,000 doses instead of 5000.”

Minimum prize per dose And then off course the payment itself. Velthuis prefers a percentage of the net sales. “Don't be satisfied with one or two dollars per sold straw. That's way to little. What if the A.I. sells the semen for $90 per

Jaap Brinkman, CRV: Lease contract only for differentiated bulls

For A.I. organization CRV leasing bulls is quite new. “If it's a unique bull which adds some extras to our bull package we can go for a lease option”, sire analyst Jaap Brinkman illustrates. “If the genomics test for bulls in Europe will be released I think bulls with a lease contract will be more common.”

In the U.S. and the Netherlands CRV has about six bulls on their bull list with a lease agreement. Classic and Chevrolet are two of them. “Those two bulls are good examples of our strategy”, Brinkman says. “They are complementary to our total bull package and fit in the breeding goal of CRV.” The contract he prefers has a payment in euros or dollars per sold straw. “That is the most transparent and easy way to communicate. Working with a percentage from the total sales is much more difficult.

Vekis Chevrolet (Freddie x Planet) We don't have a CRV sales office in every country. When we work with trade intermediaries they GTPI+2484 lease contract bull at CRV make their own sales price.” He warns about high royalties. “Genomics makes the transition between bulls fast. Every half-year there is another high one. If you want your lease bull to be sold, you have to lower the sale price, that's more difficult when there is a contract payment of 5 euros per dose semen. The bull is not going to be sold anymore”, Brinkman explains. Nobody wants that, neither the A.I. nor the breeder. You should go for a win-win situation.” About 50% of the CRV bulls come from their own nucleus, the other half comes from all around the world. The restrain for CRV by making lease contract is the equal reward every breeder gets. “It's part of our cooperation principle, we have different choices for breeders when they sell a bull to CRV. It varies from one cash payment to different ways of royalties to a maximum of 100,000 euros.” Brinkman says these contracts are the same for every breeder. “Clear communication.

And yes, we have bulls that make 100,000 euros for their breeder, several ones. In our global working A.I. a popular bull will sell easily 50,000 straws per year. That is advantage of our scale and also important when you choose an A.I. for your lease bull.”

Pierre Laliberté, Semex: Breeders rewarded, A.I. the best bulls

Semex already started in the early 2000s with lease contracts for A.I. bulls. “It's a good success”, Pierre Laliberté, senior vice president of Semex says. “Breeders get financially rewarded for their breeding work and we get the opportunity to raise the top bulls.”

Semex can make a variety of agreements with their breeders. “Some prefer to have cash payments, they like to have the quick money, others are into a down payment and royalties and there are breeders who go for the big run and go for the highest royalties. Semex offers different options, the breeder can make his own choice depending on how many risks he wants to take.” It makes the A.I. organization popular with breeders. “It's also in our own interest, that's how we get the top bulls in our barn. And if the royalties are turning out to be high, it's profitable for both A.I. and breeder. If we have made sales, we have made money.”

Velthuis Let It Snow (Snowman x Planet) GPA-LPI+3202 lease contract bull at Semex

In the contract Laliberté prefers the option of a percentage of the net sales. “Then you know exactly how the partition of the money is we have in the pocket.” A payment per dose could work in specific markets, Laliberté ads. “But it has the disadvantage that bulls can be switched when the sale price goes down and the benefit for the A.I. is too little.”

dose? That is very inappropriate. I think there should be a minimum price per dose for the bull owner, and that closer to $10.”

The definition of 'sales' is also an important one as well. You have the retail prices, where the semen is sold for to farmers. “I notice that it’s a taboo to talk about that price. The pricing structure is not transparent, there are costs for distributing the semen and it's not tight to retail. You have no control over what expenses are. So concentrate on the return.” He has an example. An A.I. organization sells the semen for a small price abroad to their sister organization. They double the price and sell it to farmers. “Off course you want your part of the price that is made at the end user. Talk this through, the difference can be huge.”

It's a matter of trust that your A.I. partner is honest about the exact number of units sold. “They have a proper accountancy. If they get caught not giving the right numbers, they have a huge problem.” AI studs should show reports on collection results and inventory, Velthuis thinks. “There is no other way for the bull owner to know.”

And then there is another thing: put in the contract that you get 20 or 30 doses semen from the first collection. This way you can flush your high heifer with this high bull and make the next generation of high animals. “With early semen you stay in the race.”

Breeder Jan Kolff, JK-Eder in the Netherlands is more nuanced about lease contracts. “In the end it has to be a win-win situation for the A.I.

and the breeder. What if you have a good lease contract but A.I. pushes another similar bull in their marketing? Or they keep semen for their own breeding program the first half-year? Then I prefer to have a once cash payment.”

On the other hand Kolff notices that the negotiations with the A.I. centers are more open since the release of genomic bull tests. “The time that you have a contract with every born bull is history. Send some hairs and we pick him up has passed. I haven't signed a bull contract in two years.?

Jan Kolff, JK-Eder

"Every newborn bull means individual negotiations and agreements.”

After the bull is born and tested on genomics, breeder and A.I. sit around the table. “It's a step forward that the communication is transparent, you're on the same level”, observes Kolff. “If the bull has +2300 GTPI you have a different position then when it's +2600 GTPI. The A.I. also understands that they have to pay other money. They want a good bull, you want to be rewarded.” A reliable partnership is then the most important fundament, says Kolff. “And let's be clear, genomics means fast. Young bulls have to make their money in a short period, by the time they get their daughter proof they have been passed by the next generations. So I have to say, we always come to an agreement.”

Dave Eastman, Genervations: “Last half year more breeders are preferring cash payment”

A lot of bulls at Genervations are on lease, but Eastman notices a change. “The last half year I bought more bulls for cash than ever before. Genomics make everything quick, who knows how it will be in the next half year.”

Normally a bull makes his money when he is proven and high ranking. “With genomics you see the opposite”, Eastman says. “Nowadays a high ranking gemomic bull can make a significant amount of money before he gets a proof, different from before when most of the money was made once bulls became proven – but the key is they need to rank high.” In a lease comtract, Eastman goes for the percentage per net sale. “And we are very open about the costs and calculations. We show breeders what the net sales are.” If it's not a real high-ranking bull, breeders decide to make quick money, experiences Eastman. “Who knows how it looks like in five years. It's a matter of what risk level do you take.” More and more breeders prefer to take, for example, $10,000 and if they have 15 bulls per year going to A.I. it's still $150,000, calculates Eastman. “They have the bigger picture: it's better then waiting five years.” Another thing is that lease contracts are not always successful for breeders. “What if the A.I. keeps the semen for their own program? Or give semen away with the restriction that they want the bull in return? If you go for lease you should have an open access to semen to make money.”

He advises every breeder to test their own bulls. “You know what you have, it's more transparent and it's doing business as it is supposed to be done.”

Also for breeders in Europa, “If it's high ranking in North America, European A.I. organizations are also interested.”

The Molenkamp GRIETJE family Successful result of mixing B&W and R&W Thanks to the discovery of the red factor, the pure Dutch bred Molenkamp Grietjes turned into one of the most influential red and white families worldwide in just 10 years time. The Grietjes and their sons top the genomics lists everywhere. Read about this all-round cow family, 'barnproven' for high lifetime production.

Grietje breeder Mark van Wichen commented. “But as a farmer we really appreciate the Grietjes because they are easy, trouble-free milking cows with a high lifetime production. That's what counts for farmers and that's what makes the Grietjes special, they are barn-proven.”

At the Eurogenes Summer Sale held on May 25, RZH Gwen-P sold for 36.000 euro the third high selling individual in the sale and the highest sold red and white. The Ladd P daughter with +153 RZG and +2080 GTPI is the number one RZG polled heifer and sold as an embryo to Marco Hellwig, Germany. Gwen was bred from one of the most famous cow families in the Netherlands: Molenkamp Grietjes. It's a story about a black and white cow family which became famous after finding the red factor, but even more it's a story of strong transmitting cows with extreme durability, strong feet and legs, high protein yield and lots of type. The sort of independent cow farmers like to work with because you never notice them.

The A.I. interest for the Molenkamp Grietjes started with Grietje 28.

She was without a doubt one of the best Jocko Besne daughters in Europe, and carried the red factor. “We didn't know she had the red factor until CRV called to ask if they could test Grietje. We had no idea which heifer she was, we had to search for her in the barn,” says Mark van Wichen who runs with his parents, Henk and Gerrie, a farm in Maasbommel, in the middle of the Netherlands. “Grietje’s greatgranddam was a daughter of the red bull, Granduc Famous, after three generations Grietje still had the red factor.” They flushed Grietje 28 as a heifer with a Stadel-son, Classic, and it resulted in Molenkamp Farfan. “That was very special for us, our first bull to AI,” remembers Mark. He is the number five for NVI daughter proven sires in the Netherlands and the number two for type. Unfortunately the A.I. had

“In breeding we focus on genomics, young animals and fast intervals,”

to put him down before he started his test period. But Grietje got another chance. She also delivered Molenkamp Andy, a red factor Goldwyn son and CRV has promoted him as a sire of sons. “Andy was for us the proof that the Grietjes are not only excellent milkers, but they are also able to deliver great bulls.” Andy is the number two red-factor sire and the number 10 for type in the Netherlands. The high testing

"Thanks to genomics the Grietjes were set on their true value" on genomics was not a surprise, Mark shared. “Before the genomics period, the indexes of the Grietjes were very common. Although they accelerated in our herd from the 1970's when the first Grietje entered the barn. Their indexes were underestimated, thanks to the genomics the Grietjes were set on their true value. The good news is also that all Grietjes test high on genomics. It's typical for a real strong cow family that they transmit their good characteristics to the next generation, whatever sire you use.”

Powerful Grietje In the meantime Grietje scored 89 for type, with 93 points for dairy strength. “She has huge dairy strength, after her first calving she already showed a lot of power. Her top production wasn't extremely high with 34 kilos of milk, but she was very persistent.” Ten year old Grietje 28 is still alive and kicking on the farm with 140 cows, three milking robots and an average production of 10.932 kilos milk with 3,97 % fat and 3,39 % protein. “Grietje 28 is dry now, despite of her age, the strength in her feet and legs is remarkable, she can go on for many more lactations.” Her lifetime production is about 60.000 kilos milk with 3,86% fat and 3,44% protein in three lactations. Mark doesn't really worry about his 'brood-cow' to calve for the fourth time this year. “She is heavy and fat, but she will start the lactation easy, I am sure. She will start eating and produce milk, no problem. I don’t know how, but she can handle this transition easily.” High, lifetime production is also very typical for the Grietjes. Her Looking Major

mother, Grietje 23 Very Good-87, broke a leg in her fifth lactation otherwise she probably could have made more milk then her lifetime production of 57.401 kilos. The best example of the cow family's durability is Grietje 13, the grandmother of Grietje 28. The Very Good-85 Cash daughter calved 12 times and produced over 110.000 kilos milk.

“And she is in calf again”, mentions Mark proudly. Grietje 13 has seven daughters who scored at least Very Good-85.

High genomics Back to Grietje 28, almost all her sons went to A.I. and at Molenkamp about 19 daughters are already milking. In their heifer production they scored 13% above herd average and VG 85,1 for type. One of the most heavily contracted daughters is Grietje 48. She is a red Spencer daughter and scores (like all the Grietjes) high on genomics. Her full sister Grietje 53 is also a very popular bull dam. She scored Very Good-86 and has a polled Asterix son at CRV: Molenkamp Griffith P,

"A real strong cow family transmits their good characteristics to the next generation, whatever sire you use" the No. 2 polled red bull on RZG. Her Mr. Burns daughter Grietje 92 (VG-87 and producing 23% above herd average) is the No. 6 on the NVI list and her Danillo son went to ABS. The Beacon daughter from Grietje 48 calved on the day of the Summer Sale where her Ladd P was sold for a huge price. “She has a fantastic udder,” shares Mark. “Like her two full sisters. They can easily score 85.” With Ladd P x Beacon x Spencer x Jocko, it is a very interesting pedigree for red and white.

“Now that we put American and Canadian bloodlines in the Grietjes, they not only score on NVI and RZG, but also on TPI, that makes them interesting for every market.”

And there is another Spencer daughter: Molenkamp Grietje 50 RF. This black and white has the highest genomics of the Spencer sisters.

“We didn't flush her at first, because she had three red and white sisters which we found were more interesting because of their color. Af-

POLLED The interest of A.I. organizations is already a generation further. Red factor heifers from Vendairy Wonder are being flushed. “I like to use red bulls on red factor animals,” mentions Mark on the conditions for mating. “I want red or red factor animals. When we use a red factor bull on a red factor cow, we can get a black and white animal without the red factor.” To stay in front he uses polled bulls. “For some extras, but only if it really combines well with the Grietjes.” On his older cows he combines with sexed semen of high genomic bulls, “To make more heifer calves with hopefully high genomics and interesting bloodlines.” And if the genomics are not high enough, it's not a problem. “The Grietjes are excellent milking cows. We never have enough of those easy working cows in the barn.”

ter we ran the genomic test, Grietje 50 RF was the highest. Over 80% of all Grietjes score on genomics higher then their pedigree expectations,” says Mark. Grietje 50 has a Very Good-88 red Fidelity daughter: Grietje 90. She is the No. 2 NVI milking cow for red and white in the Netherlands and has a Bookem son scored +150 gRZG. Her Wonder son, Molenkamp Parzival RF, scores high on NVI and type and Pleasure sons went to ABS and CRV. “The combination of Grietje 28 and Spencer was extremely successful,” evaluates Mark. “Spencer didn't have a breeding value when we used him, but his scores on protein and daughter fertility were good. The Spencer daughters are not the heaviest cows, but Grietje 28 could compensate that easily.”

Index and show From all Grietjes daughters we will mention one special one: Molenkamp Grietje 58 is the barn favorite. “We never bred a more beautiful cow then Grietje 58, with her we went to our first national show, another milestone.” The Mr. Burns daughter scored 87 and represented her father in a daughter group on the NRM 2010. On this national show she was chosen the best first calf Mr. Burns daughter. “She has show and index,” Mark mentions. “She is our best cow ever. She is

"The Grietjes are excellent milking cows.

We never have enough of those easy working cows in the barn" long, deep, tall and heavy and also produces a lot of milk.” In her first lactation Grietje 58 produced in 305 days 11.725 kilos milk with 3,52% fat and 3,38% protein: 38% above herd average. She has numerous sons in A.I., like Xavi, a red Alchemy son at AI Total, but also sons of Fiction RF, Matrix-Red, Pleasure and Destry. In Germany, the No. 1 genomic bull for type is her son, Kuyt Red sired by Destry. The five year old cow has been flushed a lot to fulfill all her embryo contracts, including embryos for Japan. Before she went dry, she weighed over

1000 kilo Mark mentions. “We can weigh the cows in the robot.” She calved for the second time on Christmas 2012 and looks super. We hope to flush her again with sexed semen.”

The Grietjes develop themselves not only as interesting bull mothers, but also as show cows. For example, Molenkamp Grietje 61 RF is a Goldwyn daughter out of the Jocko and a full sister to sire of sons Molenkamp Andy RF. At national shows this Very Good-88 cow walks in the top five of the classes. All eyes are focused on her offspring: in combination with Jerudo Grietje 61 send Molenkamp Jego to CRV and Molenkamp Jergan to RUW. Their two full sisters produce 'super'. Grietje 99 Red is the No. 1 Jerudo for RZG and her sister Grietje 101 red scores 209 NVI in the Netherlands and is a high -very important for the breeding program- outcross cow. “In the RZG top 50 list we have five bulls out of the Grietjes, unique and it makes us very proud.”
