K.I. Samen breeding station and dairy farm clocks up 47 100-tonners
Grashoek Beauty 5 (s. Triton) has become the 47th cow on the K.I. Samen dairy farm in Grashoek to produce 100,000 kgs of milk. She is a phenomenal production cow and produced 101,423 kg of milk with 4.29% fat and 3.36% protein in 2607 days. This achievement once again proves the value of the practical breeding philosophy applied by K.I. Samen.

Glinzer Greetje 133 has also added her name to the list of 10-ton cows. Glinzer Greetje 133 (s. Goldwien) has exceeded a total of 10,000 kg fat and protein. She was acquired from the Vos family in Godlinze a few years ago and is the sixth cow to produce 10 tons of milk at the breeding station and dairy farm.
Owner Ralph Engelen: “To achieve these production figures, we ensure that we breed balanced cows. That is the only way to partner longevity and high lifetime production. Although we consider reaching these milestones a logical result of our breeding strategy, I am also very proud that we can show the results in practice – in our barns – to other dairy farmers.”
