Cow families as the foundation for proven breeding results

Solid cow families form the basis of every successful breeding program. Bulls such as VDR SLASH, Valor TOBOR, as well as Drouner ABRAXAS RED P and Drouner POTENCY RED, prove that practical, durable cows ultimately always show their value. It’s not speed but consistent progress that makes the difference. Every good bull starts with a strong cow family.

Potency Red

Our type bulls show their class

The new index run underlines this once again. Abraxas Red P showed a strong increase in milk production and is now the highest-scoring type bull in the Netherlands. His herdmate Potency Red follows close behind with 111 points. Both bulls also impressed with a strong daughter group at RMV Hardenberg and the HHH-Show. In Red Holstein, we also welcome Prins Holstein Rudolf Red, who enters at a very commendable position.

Strong performance in Holstein black-and-white

Among the black-and-white bulls, SJK Helium from our partner Cogent showed a strong increase. Helium presents an excellent overall profile and is a valuable addition to our portfolio. Tobor continues to impress with his ongoing progress. Eastland Wishlist also improved his index and can now be considered a true all-rounder: he scores positively for milk, fat and protein content, udder health and fertility, and achieves a solid type score of 105.

Belgian Blue bulls remain important

The use of Belgian Blue bulls remains consistently high and essential for Dutch dairy farmers. K.I. Samen is therefore pleased to add two newly tested bulls Mobi and Joes to the lineup. K.I. Samen now has eight bulls with a calving ease score of 130 or higher.

Practice-oriented breeding continues to prove itself
