The nicely-developed heifers had balanced proportions in the skeleton and the udders showed productivity with particularly positive traits for the rear udders. Many farmers were very excited about this group of heifers, which led to a second daughter group appearing at this year’s National Red and White Show in the Netherlands.

Dex daughters on show again

These six daughters showed plenty of good dairy style, open ribs and slightly sloping rumps. They had high quality udders with longer teats and produced on average 42 to 45 litres of milk. The visitors were extremely enthusiastic, particularly about the quality of the legs with their nicely parallel position and good locomotion.
