Re: …


My one and only cow was just classified VG-86-3YR-CAN at 72 DIM. She is a Gibson x 80pt Rudolph x 81pt Mason followed by 7 generations of Very Good cows.

I bought her at a dispersal sale of a pretty good B.C. herd last February, she was 82 points and pregnant to Titanic. She moved to 83 points a few months later, and calved in November with a heifer. She's projected to almost 12,000 kg this lactation, and has been averaging close to 5% fat on her first 2 tests, and projected to a 340 fat BCA. Great cow to work with, lowest SCC in the herd and very quiet.

She also has a Spirte heifer that looks pretty good and is now owned by a Master Breeder herd down the road.

The family flushed incredibly well at the original herd, so though she has that hole in the pedigree I think I'll try flushing her once this lactation. I'm considering using Spirte, because her biggest fault is loin strength, but her pin set is ideal. Can't really lose considering she only cost me $1000.

I'd appreciate other suggestions, just looking to maintain production and concentrate on type.

Classification results


Foxleigh, either you have the most consistent herd on earth(in a commercial setting not a little show tie stall with bought cows(nothing wrong with that either) or your classifiers score everything in the same range. Not much of a bell curve going on there at all. I know enough of those bulls to know you should probaly have some higher and some lower unless your herd is that consistent. I'm pretty sure my encores have a 15 point spread here for example from mid 90's old cows to low 80's(or below) two year olds.

Re: Classification results


well you need to remeber that what my husband considers to be not breed onible had angus calves.These heifers are from cows who mostly were GP first class themselves or VG.
All the dams were mated to correct faults even tho most of the bulls are progeny test or have limited daus.Most bulls have generations of EX dams.
Classifiers here are supposed to be even so doesnt matter who you get.
The senior classifier was really hard on feet and legs.
One of the younger ones admitted he had trouble classifying rear udders on very stale heifers.
Overall the senior classifier commented on what a good even line heifers we had and we should be pleased.
The budjon bulls were a disappointment and I thought the heifers were all lucky to score as well as they did.

Re: Classification results


Aye, bloody hopeless bull especially when the one that came third in our herd competitions was dry and will have to wait until the summer to go excellent(along with another two or maybe three over the next two runs).
Wish I'd never heard of the bull,if only I'd used Leduc instead. emoticon

Re: Classification results


We classifed on March 13th. Here are the highlights. We had a Durham 5 yr old score EX 94, two other Durhams score EX 93 (both are scored 95 MS). A daughter of Pinehurst Starz also score EX 94. Two other Durhams scored EX 92, one is Long-Haven Durham Randi, she scored 92 in her 2nd lactation and is an 11th generation Excellent. Randi's 2 year old daughter by Skyfame scored VG just one month fresh. A Stormatic granddaughter of Elegance scored VG and 2 yr. Herd totals are now 28 EX, 24 VG, and 5 GP. There is one EX 95, 4 at 94, 4 at 93, and 9 at 92.

Re: Classification results


Yeah, I'd take a whole barn full of Durhams. Although, it is getting a little difficult finding bulls to use on them, especially with all of the Durham sons.
