Also two cows were classified with the maximum score, both from the Mientje family as well! Mientje 1299 (Dempsey) got VG-89 with VG-89-MS in 2nd lactation. The most special one was Mientje 1368 (Impression) with VG-89 as a two-year-old! She also got the maximum scores for Frame, Dairy Strneght and udder! Futhermore she produces no less than 40kgM a day!
