Introduced in 2017 to the A.I. station of K.I.Samen, SEM 17 was inspected at the breeding farm of Van Dam - Faber by a group of well respected British Friesian pedigree breeders who were part of the selection process for this recent acquisition. SEM 17 is backed up with a cow family that displays all the quality traits required from the modern Friesian herd book. We see quality udders in respect of attachment, balance and teat placement. The frames are balanced and in particular the rump construction is very correct, from the recordings we see high lifetime productions and fertility which is born out with an impressive 106 for fertility on the Dutch base (MRI). The family dairy farm of Van Dam - Faber have maintained the practice of grazing grass with their dairy herd for as many days as practical, no artificial feeding of protected fats are used for either milk production or Milk Fat production and the herd are milked twice a day and are housed in cubicles through the winter months. To those farmers who are working with aaa SEM 17 is a 513 and we believe the different pedigree and these qualities will bring successful results to any dairy herd looking to maintain conformation, milk quality, longevity and lower cost productions.

What stands out in particular is the width of frames, excellent udder qualities and good legs & feet not only through the line itself but also transmitted to other herds. They stamp their qualities because of their high purity of race and the Rivelino lines are known for their calving ease both for calf and cows. The first Rivelino 592 calves are born from maiden heifers and were born trouble free and look very promising.

"NOTE" type proofs are on the MRI breed base! FERTILITY Maintaining or improving fertility is vital to all dairy farmers, those who wish to remain British Friesian or Black & White looking to improve the herds fertility will need to avoid inbreeding. "Strain vigour" that is to say different bloodlines to the ones in your herd is the solution and the bulls contained within this catalogue will deliver those qualities. These bulls will equally work well in a cross breeding program.
