BERNARD 26 is from the breeding farm of Mr. Hoekman who keeps

his herd on a low cost all grass farm with little or no bought in feeds. The

BEATRIX family is a line that has been on this farm for many years and is a

family that is known for high milk solids and great fertility. Bernard 26

also has the kappa-casein AB protein which will be of interest to cheese

producers & is A2/A2. Beatrix 287 dam of Bernard 26 is registered VG87

an interesting bull for British breeders and has positive stature for UK base. With a longevity score of plus 247 days which is no doubt related to excellent udder health

of his daughters who score 104. PIET ADEMA 180 is one of the highest fertility bulls in the

Piet Adema 180 (Holwerda Thierry x Piet Adema 141 x Jupiter 214) is

a well developed, 100% Friesian bull with a strong frame and a

pedigree which guarantees good conformation and protein

percentage.

Sire Holwerda Thierry (Holwerda Amaroz x Willy Keimpe) is a

beautiful (EX 91) build bull with a great longevity. The dam of

Thierry, Minke 15 realised a lifetime production of more than

100,000 Kg of milk. The daughters of Thierry are late in

development, have super feet & legs and are very good character.

What is more at the breeding farm of Piet Adema (Veerenhuis) there

is 3 EX Thierry cows! In addition the somatic cell count and fertility

of these daughters are superb.

The dam of Piet Adema 180 (Pietje 564 EX 90) is from a line that

produces good conformation and above herd average productions.

The line has six generations classified between GP83 and VG86

points. Dam Pietje 564 & Grand dam Pietje 501 for example achieved

average lactation values of 115 and 110.

Piet Adema 180 has a producing full sister Pietje 600, registered

VG86 points with very good production. In her first 2 lactations she

realised a lactation value of 111 & 113 with high percentages.

Dutch multi-breed "Y" base cow, his productions are 4,59 % fat and 3,43 % for protein. His Dam Roosje

145 (Sleeping Beauty 145) has a lactation value within the herd of 121 and over her first 6 lactations she

calved year on year within a month. She now has now calved 9 times and is 11 years of age her lifetime

305 days production average is 8,761 Kg milk, 4,93% Fat & 3,75% Protein. BAS 8 daughters are wide in

the muzzle, through the chest and into the pelvic region, they have very good udder attachment and

teat placement . We think you will be also very pleased with BAS 8 on your farm.

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.

The Rivelino herd matriarch was born in 1946 & the line represents great production

characteristics with persistency and maturity. 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. The father of Rivelino 592 is Rivelino 430 a bull that was exported to Ireland as a

lactation average. "NOTE" type proofs are on the MRI breed base!

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.

Recent research has been carried out in The Netherlands in order to measure

fertility within different breeds all measured on the Holstein ( Black & White) base
