Adelgaard Collin: Cow family that standds out for durability
The Danish-bred Jersey-bull Adelgaard Collin has a pedigree with super components, solid conformation and great durability. Collin will bring durability to your herd.
Durability embedded in the maternal line
Collin‘s maternal line is defined by outstanding durability. Collin’s great grand dam realised five lactations, his grandmother was good for nine lactations and the figure for his dam Hirse Sia now stands at eight. The component percentages of these cows are also phenomenal: all three generations have milk lists with more than 4% protein and around 6% fat.

Collin has aAa code 432, which is a very popular combination in the Jersey breed. Collin is also the highest but one tested Jersey bull for fat and protein percentages in the Netherlands.
