Willem's-Hoeve Rita 9863 EX-91 (s. Danillo), maternal sister of Willem's Hoeve R Browning @ CRV
The last classifcation was an absolute highlight for the De Jong family of Willem's-Hoeve Holsteins. The 2-yr-olds were in fantastic shape; they scored VG-85.1 on average! This was partly due to the fact that no less than three of them were classified with VG-88!
It was a very enjoyable day for the De Jong family when no less than three heifers, all three Rita's, scored VG-88! A daughter of GS Alliance O'Kaliber - Willem's-Hoeve Rita 2074 - was rewarded with VG-88 of which both her frame and dairy strength were scored with the maximum score of VG-89! Willem's-Hoeve Rita 2043 (Silver x Shot) was also VG-88 classified with max VG-89 for her well-built frame. Mr Danielle Devour RDC-daughter Willem's-Hoeve Rita 2051 RDC is the third 2-yr-old to be classified with VG-88. She is the eldest daughter of Willem's-Hoeve Rita 3195 Red VG-85. In addition to Rita 2051 RDC VG-88, also her maternal sisters Rita 2330 RDC (by Mr Apples Armani RDC) and Rubels-Red daughter Rita Red 2529 are born at De Jong.

The fact that the Rita family continues to grow into fantastic young cows is confirmed by the fact that the second calvers are also classified with scores from or over VG-87. The highest score of VG-89/EX-90 FR went to Willem's-Hoeve 1876, sired by Monument Impression.
From the 3STAR BreedingProgram, De Jong also showed the second lactation Willem's-Hoeve K&L Rita 1909 P Red (s. Pace-Red) to the classifier, she ended the day with VG-88/VG-89 MS. Rita 1909 P Red VG-88 is a great-granddaughter of Willem's Hoeve Rita 885 VG-85, also known as the full sister of Willem's-Hoeve R Browning @ CRV and maternal sister of Willem's-Hoeve Rita 9863 EX-91 (s.
