1 SHEETED SOMERSET Project BCMS breed code LVSP The above picture taken from an original painting captures the famous old breed the Sheeted Somerset which became extinct during the 20th century. Mr. Andrew Tanner is actively recreating the breed by utilising the same belted breed of cattle that were imported to Somerset via the Netherlands many centuries ago and crossing with appropriate beef cattle in order to produce the native Sheeted Somerset in a beef variant. This Dutch breed is the Dutch belted "Lakenvelder" and it just so happens that KI-SAMEN's former export manager Reurt Boelema is an authority on the breed. Reurt has not only been a breeder for most of his life but has written a book which graphically details both the history of the breed up to the modern day. The Sheeted Somerset project is now bearing fruit and the first calves are on the ground through trialling 4 Lakenvelder bulls from the stud farm of KI-SAMEN bv

2 for a beef variant of the Sheeted Somerset. Cattle Genie Limited are proud to be able to make easily available frozen semen straws from this breed and assist in the selection of bulls either for suitability for grass beef as in Andrew's case or the best bulls for dairy use. The milk globules from Lakenvelder are much smaller than other breeds and are highly suited to cheese making, the first Sheeted Somerset dairy calves are being born spring LAKENVELDER Sires Beef Type COR

3 HBN : NL A.I. - code : Dutch A.I.- code : MS 0308 D.O.B : 07/04/1995 Breed : 100% LV Calving ease : 101 Easy Straw colour : Clear Estel daughter of COR Left Very popular bull COR is well known for passing onto offspring a nice belt. He also transmits good legs and fine udders, he is highly suited for crossing with beef breeds. Left bull calf by COR on the Somerset farm of Andrew Tanner Sire Code MS 0308

4 GIJS RL HBN : NL A.I- code : Dutch D.O.B. : 02/07/2000 Breed : 100% LV Calving ease : 98 Straw colour : White The Sire of GIJS RL is the well known Lakenvelder bull Heiko and the Dam line also originates from the Heika's family. The Tineke are a cow family with excellent longevity and udders that last with good teat placement. GIJS RL was always known to be of quiet temperament and his offspring also carry this quality GIJS is a fine dairy bull.

5 LENNARD The red coloured bull Lennard is born froma coupling of dam ESTEL (registered in the Dutch Belted herd book) and A.I. bull Boris. Lennard is a well developed and nicely balanced bull that was selected by the Dutch Belted herd book for A.I. use. Lennard is bred by W. Wichers from Heerde in the Netherlands and was also responsible for the breeding of Boris the sire of Lennard. Moving to dam Estel we find a strong and durable cow with many good decedents including three breeding bulls approved by the herd book. In Estel's maternal line we fins several natural breeding bulls like Norbert, Emiel, Alex, Robert & Marnix. And Estel's sire Cor from the well respected breeder Staatsbosbeheer is the icing on the cake.

11 Semen fertility is very good for Meindert and this bull will be a very useful addition for use at the end of the block before turning to beef stock bulls. Meindert is highly suited to producing a dairy variant of Sheeted Somerset his daughters score good for udder health and do not carry access condition. Calves are being born into dairy herds in 2018 in the South of England which are on cheese contracts. Calves are born on average 7 days early. Daughters have super udder balance and correct teat placement Very correct in the rump angle is a feature of Meindert daughters Lovely daughter temperament Functional traits Dutch proof data December 2017 MEINDERT Left is the first born Sheeted Somerset dairy calf a beautiful heifer from the sire MEINDERT on a spring calving herd in Somerset Feb- 2018

16 Functional traits Dutch proof December 2017 TOON TOON is a Black & White Lakenvelder bull for those farmers who are looking for a Sheeted bull with a difference. As with all Sheeted Lakenvelder's the belt is always dominant and will highlight calves from the breed every time. TOON is a perfect choice for any grazing herd however his shorter gestation length makes him ideal for the end of block service period. Lovely temperament in the parlour and super udder health are features of TOON not to mention his beautiful conformation.

18 Lakenvelder bull GOLAT is a superb dairy character bull that has excellent locomotion and width. From the Dam line we see some of the best bloodlines from the U.S.A. where dairy herds of pedigree Lakenvelder tracing back many decades to the earliest importation are found. GOLAT has sired many breeding bulls in the Netherlands as well has produced many milking daughters that have excelled within herds. K.I.- SAMEN phil@cattlegenie.com Mobile:
