Inspiring progress and growth of German cowfamily at Koepon
SH SAH Gracie VG-85 s. Grateful
When SH SAH Gracie [BB & A2A2], was just five months old, she was purchased by Koepon Genetics and moved from her birth barn in Germany to the Dutch Koepon herd. The Green-Banks Grateful daughter had high genomics in multiple systems and joined Koepon's flush program as a one-year-old heifer.
Gracie was used as an embryo donor and sires such as SHA Foreman, NH Evolution Skyliner-Red, and Koepon Camden RDC were used in flushes that resulted in the birth of eight offspring with good indexes. One of her sons, Koepon SAH Carthago (by Camden RDC), was sold to a German AI. Meanwhile, her full sister, Koepon Camden Gracie 1 RDC [154 gRZG/ 2945 gTPI/ 324 gNVI], was and still is one of the highest red factor females of her age. Gracie's daughter, Koepon Tricky Gracie 6 RDC [A2A2], was born in December '23 and sired by Calmac RUW Tricky Red. She also shows impressice indexes of 155 gRZG and 2972

There is a female cow from this breed called Koepon Kevlow Gracie 3 who has impressive genetic results. She's now 13 months old and is a Kevlow daughter of SH SAH Gracie. Shortly after her birth, the early Kevlow daughter was found to have a very high will for production in both the TPI and RZG system. Gracie 3 is one of the top-ranking females sired by AltaKevlow in Europe with a score of 154 gRZG (157 gRZM - 0.52% Fat & 0.17% Protein) and 2974 gTPI (1267 M - 0.24% Fat & 0.10% Protein).
