Successful first quarter for Sudena Holsteins
Sudena Holsteins, which is managed by the Mensink family, is on steam when it comes to genomics results. All of their youngstock is being tested on several bases. Both female and male Holstein calves are scoring high on NVI, RZG and TPI. This leads to great opportunities both domestic and abroad.
One amazing cow and a major purchase which has led to this success is OH DG Rose RDC VG-87. This high TPI Rubicon daughter delivered some great and high genomics offspring at Sudena Holsteins. A great example is the almost two months old Sudena Roxita Red (s. Elixer) with 381 NVI and fantastic numbers for components. Rose is a red carrier Rubicon and an amazing brood cow, so it wasn't a big surprise she was nominated for 'Red Impact Cow Of The Year' (Holstein International publication April 2020).
OH DH Rose RDC VG-87
Ernst Jan Mensink not only built a great foundation by using the right (proven) sires. This foundation also led to a big improvement of the conformation in the herd. The average of a classification was never been so high as the latest score of 84.8 points for 9 first calvers (black and white & red and white). Sudena Abel Maui VG-87, a King Abel daughter of Ms Moviestar Maui VG-86 and member of the Rudy Missy EX-92 family, was the highlight of this classification. Ms Moviestar Maui VG-86 is the full sister of Mr Moviestar Mardi Gras, a worldwide known sire. Another Rudy Missy member also got her first classification score, she's named Sudena Bourbon Monica (s. Bourbon) and got a nice score of VG-86. Also Sudena Lotje 36 scored VG-86 as a first calver. She's a daughter of the Dutch red and white sire Broekhuizen Bart.
