Molenkamp Holsteins celebrates three new Excellent cows!

The Van Wichen family's herd, known as 'Molenkamp Holsteins', has recently welcomed 3 new Excellent and 27 VG-scored cows and 2-yr-olds! It's an impressive achievement as three cows were newly rated Excellent in just one single day.

One of the EX-scored cows is Molenkamp Rita 5671, a daughter of Aurora Mitchell, scored EX-91 and received EX-93 for Dairy Strength. Another cow, Molenkamp Asmona 8, sired by DG Kingboy Sniper, received a score of EX-90. Additionally, Molenkamp Colombia 5745, a daughter of Woodcrest King Doc, scored EX-90 as well. Molenkamp Colombia 5745 also won the Intermediate Class  in the video competition of Land van Cuijk.

Following the special excellent classification day, a classification day with approximately 40 dairy cows from the Molenkamp Holsteins herd were classified as well. One of the highest scores, VG-89, was achieved by the second calver Molenkamp Massia 5986 Red (Arino-Red x Brekem RDC), who was awarded with EX-91 Frame and EX-92 Dairy Strength. Three 2-yr-old received a VG-88 score. The heifers, Molenkamp Grietje 420 and Molenkamp Grietje 426, both from the home-bred Grietje cow family, were scored. They were rated VG-88, with VG-89 for Frame. Another herd mate, Molenkamp Classy 6200 RDC, a first-calver Gen-I-Beq Attico Red daughter from the well-known Koepon Classy cow family, scored VG-89 for both Frame and Type.

The Van Wichen family is very excited about the successful scores achieved by some 2-yr-old Jerseys. The first lactation River Valley Victorious daughter, Dynamic Velvet 6, received VG-87. She is the direct daughter of RZN Chrome Velvet VG-87, which was purchased from the 'Dynamic Holsteins & Jerseys' prefix during the GenHotel Selection Sale 2020. Velvet 6 is now the 10th generation VG/EX from the renowned Huronia Centurion Veronica EX 97 cow family.
