IA STATE SHOW

The cattle in the show ring are not the kind AI studs are looking for.

Talking with a respected breeder about who is breeding the bulls for tomorrow, we came to the conclusion it will be AI studs and college-trained geneticists.I don’t agree with this direction, but don’t know if it is wrong. We’ll wait and see in a few years what direction cattle breeding has gone.

Here at Red Dirt Genetics, we take great pride in developing, exhibiting, and merchandising show cattle. Not only do we have our own personal cattle, but we house cattle for some of the best clients anyone could ask for. Getting these cattle onto our program as quickly as possible is very important to us. That’s where Performance Probiotics’ products come in as key ingredients in our program. Performance Probiotics’ products get our cattle on feed quickly and help us turn them into winners. We start feeding Healthy Calf at birth, along with the Performance paste. As soon as we started feeding their Probiotics we saw a drastic increase in forage intake as well as a 2-pound increase in milk cows. We could not be happier with our results and hope you will give Performance a try, you won’t be disappointed. ~ Red Dirt Genetics ~ Abe Cobb & Katrina Watson and On-The-Go Jerseys ~ Robbie Watson

“Comfort matters … gets fresh cows off to a great start.”

— Mitch Breunig

MYSTIC VALLEY DAIRY LLC, Home of JENNY-LOU HOLSTEINS, SAUK CITY, WI The Breunig Family: Mitch, Jacquie, Allie, Lauren and Brayden 440 Registered Holsteins, BAA 106.6 (20 EX 153 VG) SSI Supersire Miri RHA 33,326M 3.82 1274 F 3.01 1002P, SCC 98-113,000 8679-ET VG-88 EX-MS

“Comfort matters. For 5 years, we have used Udder ComfortTM because it gets fresh cows off to a great start with quality udders and low-SCC. Cows that start clean tend to stay clean throughout the lactation. That’s why we spray every fresh udder 2x/day for 3 to 7 days after calving and see their SCCs come down much faster,” says Mitch Breunig, Mystic Valley Dairy, Sauk City, Wisconsin, home of Jenny-Lou Holsteins, founded by his parents Jeanette and Louis.

From balanced breeding and their focus on longevity came the legacy of Toystory. Today, this 440-cow freestall herd has 62 cows past 150,000M lifetime, a BAA in the top 5 for herds over 300 cows, averages 100 lbs/cow/day with records to 55,000M, and includes many offspring of genomic headliner Miri.

SSI Supersire Miri 8679-ET (above) is one of the Holstein breed’s most prolific cows with 15 sons over 2600 GTPI, including breed leaders Jedi, Flagship, Jett, Yale, Expresso, Alltime, Remington and Five-Star.

She has 6 daughters over 2600 GTPI, including several at Mystic Valley, once home to Miri herself, where she began her first lactation with the benefits of Udder Comfort.
