APRIL 2018 K.I.-SAMEN GRASHOEK Beeze ROZA 102 full sister of MAIKMAN and Beeze ROZA 48 Dam of Beeze MAIKMAN Welcome to the April 2018 edition of select future Sires from the bull stud of KI-SAMEN bv These have been identified by Cattle Genie to be able to fulfil the requirements of many commercial & pedigree British dairy farmers up and down the country. * Dams are daughter proven with at least 3 milking lactations behind them. * Breed balanced daughters capable of working in commercial herds whether partly housed or housed all year round in cubicles, KI-SAMEN and their partners work closely with aaa WEEKS evaluators in order to breed a balanced farmer cow. * Breed for constituents in particular milk protein * Longevity improvement and its associated parts being fertility, udder health and hoof health improvement. * It is a known fact that high stature in Holstein cattle has had a negative on longevity and that high "type" show ring animals do not suit the breeding g requirements of many of the farms Cattle Genie Limited work with. It is for this reason the majority of bulls you will find in this catalogue are average stature and have width in the body and are late maturing.
* " No high rump angle" is what you tell us, we have listened and wish to point out that the Dutch cattle base is even more critical than the U.K. Which results in a Dutch score of 97 high rump angle is equivalent to zero on the U.K. proof. * All sires displayed qualify for HUKI registration. * KI-SAMEN guarantee that every conventional straw of semen contains at least 20 million semen cells per straw. The Dutch parental proofs displayed in this catalogue are taken from the most recent proof run in April 2018. In order to explain fully the production figures Cattle Genie have listed each sires Milk Kg, Fat% and Protein % and included the "Black & White Holstein base cow" production table which takes a daughter average of the first 3 lactations each of 300 days in length.

Batenburg GERONIMO RF is a son of Heokland MAIK who is often used as a correction bull for the taller, narrower cows and leaves daughters of moderate size with good udders and feet & legs.these heifers start slowly but progression in later lactation is very impressive. In combination with best figures for udder health and fertility has resulted in sky high daughter longevity. The Dam line of GERONIMO RF paints a similar picture, the Ginster's are hard working, late maturing cows with fine conformations. Very good milk protein levels are a feature of this line and the added bonus of the red factor. * Expect high productions milk/fat & protein * Very wide built cows with excellent legs and feet & locomotion * Hoof health and udder health improver equals longevity! * aaa 561 Sire code HO 4044 List Price 8-00

Dam of Olbia AFRA 128 Above is Afra 60 (third lactation) the grand dam of Olbia and also in her later years.
The AFRA'S are owned by the Lansbergen family farming at Egmond aan de Hoef in the Netherlands, this cow family have reached 2 milestones. Firstly the Afra's have persisted in producing milk on this same farm for a staggering 8 generations as seen here: And secondly this family of consists already of 5 successive generations of lifetime production cows achieving 110,000 Kg of milk. With the bull FaWi OLBIA (Big Spell x Roumare x Dustin) there is the ability to utilise this unique genetic pool that will provide longevity, strength and profitable daughters. The story begins with Tops daughter Afra 17 (first on the right) she produced 10,000 Kg of fat & protein with ease. Mated with Celsius she produced Afra 31 (2nd for right) who was awarded 86 points for general conformation and smashed through the 10,000 Kg barrier for fat & protein. The third line with this amazing lifetime production was Afra 38 (VG 87) a daughter of Cash. Her daughter by Addison, Afra 48 (not in photo) unfortunately had to leave the farm in Egmond after six milk recordings and more than 110,000 liters of milk. FaWi OLBIA's grand dam is Afra 60 (4th from the right) she was awarded 83 points as a heifer and reclassified on her third calving at 88 points. Afra 60 achieved a lifetime production of almost 113,000 Kg of milk and became the 5th generation to exceed 110,000 liters of milk. FaWi OLBIA's dam Afra 128 (VG 86) is not in the photo above (her half sisiter is shown) she is now at the end of her 4th lactation and her lifetime production stands at 56,952 Kg. Just like the rest of the family she is becoming a strong, robust cow and is shortly due to calve for the 5th time. Sire Big Spell doesn't just add a hefty portion of components to the Afra family he is also a longevity specialist who produces late maturing daughters. FaWi OLBIA is a remarkably well built bull (aaa 462513) and the absence of any genes of O'Man, Shottle, Mascol, Goldwyn, Planet and Bookem makes him a bull that deserves to be used widely. * Balanced cows & can be used right across the herd * High longevity with mastitis cell count improvement * Super udders with correct teat placement * Excellent feet & legs and locomotion Sire code HO T.B.A. List Price 8-00

Above is Weggelhorster JESSI 26 Dam of CONFIDENCE Weggelhorster CONFIDENCE is a descendent of high reliability bulls and he is a bull that will provide good milk and protein via his pedigree which also brings good exterioir and high durability. Confidence ( Surefire X Mascol X Rocko ) originates from a German cow family. In the Netherlands this strain has further developed into a line of high protein, best durability and true exterior. From Jessie at least 8 generations of cows from this tribe have produced lactation averages of more than 3.6% Protein. All have classified VG and one after the other they have exceeded a lifetime production record of more than 50,000 Kg of milk. From the sire Surefire we find exceptional width of frames, excellent legs and best udders with above average milk volume.

COL ORLANDO Col ORLANDO (Icone x Jeeves x Shottle) is a bull with international Holstein breeding. This bull, born in Germany, has bulls from France, America and England in succession. In addition his originally Canadian maternal line is internationally successful. Bulls like Tribute and Mr.Burns come from this line as well as the German show cow Orleander (EX 91) and the Swiss European champion O' Kallibra (EX 97). Just like the mother line of Orlando, his father Icone also enjoys great fame. As a genomics bull, the French Icone has been at the top of the index list for a
long time and is therefore often used as a sire of sons. With the coming of his daughters, he seems to be making these figures come true and he is known as a percentage bull with a big plus for milk. His daughters have an average stature and width size and are provided with good legs. What is the highlight however is the phenomenally best udders of the Icone daughters COL ORLANDO COL ORLANDO * Correctly built bull 88 92 96 100 104 108 1 12 * Improves longevity udder & hoof health traits * Expect quiet cows & good to milk 88 92 96 100 104 108 1 12 Herd book number ~ DE 0539386364 Date of birth ~ 25/03/2016 aaa code ~ 345 Dutch A.I. code ~ 361087 UK A.I. code ~ TBA Kappa Casein ~ AB Beta Casein ~ A1/A1 Straw colour ~ Turquoise Breed ~ 100% HO Colour ~ Black & white Sire code TBA List Price 8-00
