Re: Generations of VG
Got a 12th generation who has 3 daughters on the ground. Oldest daughter is just fresh with her second and provided she setles down and opens her rib out OK should make 13 gens later this month.
Also bought one of the Pocohontis calves from Littlebredy that is from 10 generations, and quite a nice prospect.

Re: …
The 12th gen cow is a purchase, but only a cheap one, the daughters are born here.
The Pocohontis is from the same family as Golden Oaks Mark Prudence.
From the original families we graded up we have a couple at the 4 and 5 generation mark, but even then we're getting more throw-backs than potential next generation VG's. We just think we've got a family building then for no obvious reason the next generation aren't up to the mark. Frustrating. At the moment it's difficult to see any of the original families consistantly living with the PI's, and most of those are 6 gens or more.

We seem to have the other problem, none of the bought in PI families is able to compete with the homebred grade-ups!!! Currently our best homebred family has 5 gens of VG or EX, and the 3rd gen of this branch is an EX Astre who has an 89 pt Leadoff, and 86pt Lieutenant, an 85 pt Cousteau and a 90pt Storm and has just calved us a James heifer. The Storm is due in about 7 days to James as well and she has a Roy yearling, though it is the Leadoff that provided the 5th gen VG with a daughter of a Wade son (stock bull). Most females from this family have VG potential, i find it strange that the PI's couldn't compete!!!

Sexation in the pedigree is the full sister to Prudence's dam.
The Emerson didn't take the best picture in the catalogue, but she was a beauty with a cracking rear udder. Wife and I had decided to really try to buy her, but I just didn't have anywhere near enough money for her at 5,500gns. The Rudolph made 4,800gns, the Airliner 2,200, so we saw the previous 3 gens milking on the sale day.
