GenHotel members dominate RED & RDC rankings!

13 Mar '20 Genomics

3STAR OH Sunnyside-Red, number 1 gTPI & NM Red Holstein worldwide!

The top gTPI-list with European females proofs that GenHotel members are very active and successful in breeding top Red Holstein and Red Carrier animals. From the 20 highest Red Holstein females in Europe there are 17 owned by GenHotel members! Also from the red carrier heifers the majority is owned by GenHotel members, namely 12 out of the top 20.

Very prominent in the top 20 gTPI is Koepon Genetics with 8 red & white and 2 red carrier daughters of Lakeside UPS Red Range Red, the "Giant Red Genomics Transmitter" out of the Golden-Oaks Mark Prudence EX-95 family. Red Range is in the top 20 Red Holstein as well, just like her her Rubels-Red daughter at De Oosterhof & 3STAR Genetics.

With 6 red carrier daughters Wilder Kosmo RDC is also frequently present in the top 20 red carriers. Four of the six daughters are sired by Fustead S-S-I Solution, including the number 2 gTPI red carrier in Europe Wilder Kasimio RDC (2770 gTPI). Kosmo RDC is a Mr Salvatore RDC from the renown Wilder Kanu RDC family, owned by the Holtkamp family in Germany.

Another tremendous breeding Red Holstein female is K&L SV Sunny-Red, the recently calved Mr Salvatore RDC daughter out of the Canadian Glen-Drummond Splendor VG-86 family. Sunny-Red has 4 red and 2 red carrier daughters in the top 20, among which with 2797 gTPI and 973 NM the number 1 GTPI & NM Red Holstein worldwide 3STAR OH Sunnyside-Red (s. Rubels-Red).

On the sire side there is a lot of variation, although the influence of Salvatore RDC in the top red breeding is unmistakeable. Through his sons (like AltaAltuve RDC, Ronald RDC, Solitair P Red and Shimmer RDC) or as maternal grandsire he is in the pedigrees of both top 20 rankings. Remarkable is also the name of EDG Rubicon, mentioned quite often as maternal grandgrandsire, but also in the pedigree of sires as Rubels-Red, Solution and Shimmer RDC.
