Beginning of THE OLD RED LINE

Transcription

1 Beginning of THE OLD RED LINE DAIRY FARMERS: SKIP FORWARD TO PAGE 13 BETTER YET - SKIP RIGHT TO THE STARGATE FAMILY rev 07/13/18 - need more updates Even today we breed the Red Line pretty much straight for milk and components. As of January 2018, this family had 3 out of the top five spots on the USDA s Top Doe list, which you can find on adga.org under Elite Doe. This is the best group for a straight dairyman to choose from. They all wear red collars. And the best group for a show herd to avoid. NSBA people, skip to The CRUZER/XTORT Family. Certainly they have had some show success. (NORTHERN DANCER had two legs and was 10 th of 42 at Nationals. CHINOOK was a perm. MACY p. 6 had a 91 and two legs) SGCH BILEX deserves her 91. Both she and ALEX have BIS. We intended that there always be one pure Big Milk family and that is The Old Red Line. One day we suddenly noticed all the Old Red Line ugly milkers had been bought. Most of the scorecard and the appraisers ideal ranges are about LONGEVITY. But the truth is the average Holstein is only on line for 33 months. You only have room in your life and your barn for X number of goats. To earn a living you must immediately replace the low milkers with boomers. The 2,000 lb DOE WHO LASTS FOR EIGHT YEARS LOST MONEY FOR YOU EIGHT YEARS IN A ROW. The foundation does of the Old Red Line are: 1.REBEL VALLEY S SOUTHERN BONUS At one time BONUS was recognized as the All- Time All-Breed Record Holder. 2.GOLD BANNER BETSIE LEE OVER 5,000 IN 305. BETSIE LEE also classified at 90! 3.MARIWILLO PRIDE S SHARMIN, #1 on the Top Ten three different years! These three led us to MACY next page a lot of milk but also phenotypic conformation two GCH legs and a 91. MACY, aka VERONICA, is a home brew that goes back, way back, The New Red Line comes from ILEX more milk/fat/protein than MACY or anyone else, but not attachments. Lucky to have an 89. We reserved her before she was born because CARRA her dam was a 99 th %ile doe and her planned sire was a Sire Summery aka Elite Buck List buck. A useful coincidence - MACY and SGCH ALEX, 112A have something in common. Their mammaries can bag up like crazy. Most CAPRIKORN does are going to start dripping at 13 to 16 hours. Maybe even 9 hours. These two could bag for close to 24 hours and hold 17 to 18 lb of milk at any one time. Not recommended. But you can understand that the doe that starts dripping with 7 lb can physically never have a 7,000 lb lactation, and that s where we want to get someday. P. 5

MACY was a long doe with a long neck and a marvelous topline and just a little narrow in the escutcheon. She resembles SHARK almost exactly. ADGA judges love long necks, but they actually have no connection to big milk. MACY was conceived at Caprikorn but born somewhere else. She was so scared and wild she wouldn t stand still for the inflations. On Sale Barn day she suddenly started to behave! MACY S son YOLAND sire of 2011 Sable Jr. Champion of Nat l Show. Complete show record listed in Saanen show goats catalogue. The great thing abut MACY was her abnormal capacity. Her mammary looks big, but not sloppy gigantic. Yet she could bag up for 17 hours and be holding 14 pounds at a single milking.

In March 2016 we said She will get a high placing at the National Show in the first week in July And then someone will buy her for milk because we don t need a 75% Grade Saanen. As of February 2017 Alice s show string was looking kind of bleak, GALLANT FOX had freshened for the first time with a NICE mammary, so we upped her price by $2,000 to keep her to show. Should have made your move when she was $2,000 cheaper. ********************************************************************************** P. 5b

She is a tribute to Cecile Beauchemin, who had the will power to stay on DHI test for years, and to always breed to Sire Summary/Top buck List/ Elite/ Top 15% bucks. Never bothered to show. We said: She is dying as of April After being dry for most of 2016, SHE KIDDED FEBRUARY 2017 AT TEN YEARS OLD! ILEX HAS A VERY HIGH REL - 77! What does that mean? It means she has had 18 kids, 11 does, 6 of the does have been on DHI test. It means that when you look at her Rank of 97, you cna count on that. You would rather have a rank of 97 - better than 32 out of 33 Saanens - than a rank of 99 with a 42 REL. Because that 99 may change BIG TIME. But the 97 won t budge much. P. 6c

In spite of that she was 3rd place out of 9 at Nationals July 16, 2014! As of December 26 th 2014, she was no longer paddle-walking so it was going to be All about that udder. It came out really awesome, but Alice s cheap milkers almost ruined it. Their idea of milking is bring the doe, in, teat dip, put the inflations on, push the doe out. The fact that no milk came out of the udder didn t bother them. Count on Alice to hire three cheap incompetent people instead of one expensive competent herdsman every time. So DILEX is not having a good second lactation. But she showed O.K. in spite of the udder damage - one of the best 4 yearlings, if you level her out. She kidded in March 2016 and the mammary was uneven again. URRGHHH! Same for 2017 when she came with three dead kids. She is a big power doe, and a lover, but too sensitive. Needs to be stretchier. SMH - 84 code J SMH - 89code BB DD: SG DAUGHTER S ILEX page 8 Top Ten Twice We said: DILEX will be the next CAPRIKORN All-Star. Best of her year s class in milk & show. We were wrong. Sam, the milker with no integrity, ruined her udder. FELIXA as a kid was a little too frail. Very friendly. Now sturdy, she kidded January The mammary is a little uneven and the teats point out just a little. So that is going to make this doe a terrific deal for dairy farmers. What 94%ile means: If you bought 100 does from Saanen herds THAT ARE ON TEST, on average, 5 of them would outmilk FELIXA IN YOUR HERD. And, IN YOUR HERD, FELIXA would outmilk 94 of them. (When it comes to PERCENTILES, also called RANK, outmilk means with the b.f. and protein figured in). SMH code 84 BB P6d

Good grief -172 lb of fat in 305! BILEX was only shown 7 times to get her 3 legs. Her b.f. would make TOP TEN easily. She has a nice mammary PHENOTYPICALLY but not GENETICALLY.

After 52 lab samples, she is down to 3.3% protein lifetime, highest of any Saanen we know. She has been one of the last to kid two years in a row. That is why the lactation starts with 1-02 instead of A fair question is: How can this doe be number 5 in the country when her top lactation is only 3,435? It s complicated. But the two simple answers are: 1. The computer knows about hundreds of her relatives lactations compared to their herdmates. So the computer is assessing her DNA. Her next lactation on the average will be a monster 2. Our dairy farmers get paid by PROTEIN - 4,000 LB OF MILK AT 2.7% IS ONLY 108 LB OF PROTEIN. And butterfat at 2.8 is only Codesmh88BB P. 9
