Unique triplets at Den Hamer Holsteins!
Unique triplets at Den Hamer Holsteins
About 9 month ago one single embryo was implanted in a recipient at Den Hamer Holsteins. Last week this recipient calved and gave birth to not one, not two but three (!!!) calves. A unique event. The calves all look the same and these three “wondergirls” have special names:
-Den Hamer Red Hot 'Crescent Moon'
-Den Hamer Red Hot 'Full Moon'
-Den Hamer Red Hot 'Waning Moon'
Pedigree
Besides being triplets born out of an embryo these 3 calves have a great pedigree as well. Their sire is Caudumer Smile P RDC, a Snowrush son of Caudumer Lol 305 PP Red bred by Caudumer Holsteins. Dam is Den Hamer Red Hot Warsau Red, a +140 GRZG / +208 GNVI Perfect Aiko daughter from the well-known Warsi family of Bonhill Holsteins. The former #1 GRZG bull in Germany, Red Rocks Effort, also hails from this family. He is bred by Red Rocks Holsteins of their Snowman daughter Bonhill Warsi 124 RDC TY VG-85.
These 3 calves will soon be tested on genomics. Herewith science can proof that those 3 calves are indeed triplets and identical. We will keep you informed.....
