Comestar Laurie Sheik

Influencing the Holstein landscape for over 30 years It’s a common English expression: ‘Can’t see the forest for the trees’ – meaning one can be too focused on the details of a situation to discover the overall, big-picture view. But, sometimes, the forest is so expansive and vast, the best way to evaluate its quality is to study a few trees close up. In the Holstein business, the ‘forest’ of the Comestar Laurie Sheik family is vast indeed, with thousands of offspring found worldwide. To write about them all would take pages and pages of breed history books, so let’s focus on just a few ‘trees’ that reveal a relatively rare quality of this family: the ability to generate both listleading high genomic offspring as well as high-type, show-winning individuals. Eighteen Very Good daughters helped Laurie Sheik earn 23 Brood Cow stars, but the majority of her breed-influencing genetics were concentrated through her notable Blackstar daughters: Laura Black VG-87-CAN 24*; L Or Black VG-87-CAN 16*; and Lausan Black VG87-CAN 23*. These three cows yielded most of the world-famous Comestar sires – Lee, Lheros and Lartist from Laura Black; Outside from L Or Black (also the dam of Leduc and Starfire under the Lystel prefix); and Stormatic from Lausan Black.

Impact of the Lausan Blacks The Lausan Black line, in particular, displays the propensity to deliver big-time index offspring as well as the big-time show winner. The mating decisions at Comestar have always stayed current with market demands and thus, though Laurie Sheik made her name as a show cow (HM All-American and HM All-Canadian Senior Two-Year-Old in 1989), her daughters were aggressively mated to bulls from the top of the TPI and LPI lists. Lausan Black produced a Ricecrest Emerson daughter – Comestar Lautelle Emerson VG-85-CAN 2* – who then had a daughter by Summershade Igniter, the No. 1 LPI bull in Canada during 2000-2001. Comestar Lautelma Igniter VG-89-CAN 21* was in turn flushed to a successive No. 1 LPI bull, Hartline Titanic. A resulting female, Comestar Lautamie Titanic VG-89-CAN 31*, became one of the most heralded cows to ever carry the Comestar prefix. Only occasionally do the very separate markets of high-index and show-winning type meet in one animal, and when they do, she’s bound to be an instant breed superstar. Comestar Lautamie Titanic fit the bill when she calved in as a junior two-year-old. A second place finish in her class at the 2006 Royal Winter Fair garnered her Reserve All-Canadian Junior Two-Year-Old honors and by February 2007, she

was the No. 1 LPI cow in Canada (with her dam, Lautelma Igniter, ranked No. 3), where she stayed through April 2008. Needless to say, the market eagerly awaited every male and female she could produce. A Braedale Goldwyn flush to her dam, Lautelma Igniter, turned out well, eventually resulting in the No. 2 LPI bull, Comestar Lauthority. His full sister, Lautella Goldwyn VG-87-CAN 8* was consistently in the Top 50 LPI Cows. Lautella was purchased by Freurehaven Farms and Dymentholm Genetics of Ontario and they mated her to the top TPI sire, Sandy-Valley Bolton. A resulting son, Freurehaven Niagara, made the GenerVations lineup as a daughter-proven bull known for high milk yield. His full sister, Freurehaven Lautella Bolton EX-92CAN 4*, heads a branch of the family that has attained some of the highest GTPI numbers for the Laurie Sheiks.

Modern Sire Stacks - Big GTPI The Bolton’s Shottle daughter, Freurehaven Shottle Lautella VG-89 3* produced a Man-O-Man, Freurehaven LaBelle EX-90 that was sold as a calf to Woodcrest Dairy and Ziem-Barb-Way through the ZiemBarb Way Special Edition Sale in 2011. They found a ‘nick’ mating her to Supersire, and those daughters have a proven knack for producing high-index offspring for breeders across the U.S. One of those Supersire daughters, WCD-ZBW Supersire Lavage VG85 DOM (GTPI+2645) makes her home at Oakfield Corners Dairy in New York and has produced six offspring testing over +2700 GTPI, including OCD Delta Lavage 4252 at +2793 GTPI, one of the very highest females on the January 2016 genomic run. Remarkably, Lavage has another eight daughters that test over +2600 GTPI. “Lavage was the result of a first choice we purchased at the first Woodcrest Sale. The Man-O-Man dam was there and she was a nice young cow with a good udder. We admired the deep cow family and felt that branch had the capacity to test high genomically,” Jonathan Lamb recalls. Another full sister at Lambs, Supersire Lovey, has a Rubicon son, Oakfield-Corners Rubicon Lopez-ET, at +2725 GTPI and +906NM$.

Jonathan Lamb, Oakfield

“The Supersires from Labelle really have a nice balance of strength and dairy quality. They have very nice udders and are moderately sized – today’s ideal modern, commercial cow."

"We continue to work Lavage on IVF every two weeks. Her numbers are very high for a cow and we enjoy the opportunity to work her and her sisters to a variety of high genomic sires.”

"We feel this family will have a huge impact in the years ahead for milk and type!”

Yet another Supersire sister, Supersire Lala, has made her way to Rock Hill Dairy in New Mexico, where she has produced nine offspring over +2600 GTPI. Those offspring include the No. 1 Protein Kingboy son in the breed – Leaninghouse Kngby 21317-ET (GTPI+2717 +66P +2.98T) who is headed to Accelerated Genetics – and the No. 1 Protein Kingboy daughter in the breed – Leaninghouse Kngby 21324-ET (GTPI+2726 +70P +2.38T).

Her Alta1stClass son at Semex, OConnors Classic, is at +3359 GPALPI and +20 Conf. while his full brother headed to Select, Mapel Wood Light My Fire carries numbers of +3450 GPA-LPI and +19 Conf. OConnors 1st Class Laura, is one of the top GPA-LPI heifers in the world at +3451 and +19 Conf.

A Shottle Lautella mating to Flevo Genetics Snowman produced Freurehaven FGS Laura VG-88, a stylish show cow that was nominated All-Ontario Junior Two-Year-Old in 2013. Now owned by Walnutlawn Farms in Ontario, she has produced high-type number daughters by RockyMountain Lottomax, Silverridge Ascend and Mr Donalynn Millenium. Laura’s full sister, Freurehaven FGS Lucy, was purchased by the Snowbiz group and three of her daughters owned by the Vogue Cattle Co. group have been making headlines. Snowbiz N Uno Lena VG-86CAN (GTPI+2412 / GLPI+3150), has been one of the top GLPI cows in Canada. Her Stantons Main Event son, Oconnors Vogue Main Time carries a +2619 GTPI and is at Cogent. She also has three daughters over +2600 GTPI, and her Pepper daughter sold for $76,000 in the 2015 RockyMountain High Sale to Golden Oaks Farm of Illinois. A Silver daughter, Vogue Silver Lenas Loca, is at +3414 GLPI and also at +164 RZG. Lena’s full sister, Luscious, was in the Top 30 Cows on the December 2015 GLPI list and her Commander daughter brought the third high selling price ($69,000 CDN) at the 2015 Sale of Stars. The Vogue group feels the McCutchen sister to Lena and Luscious, Snowbiz McCutchen Lottie (GLPI +3178 Conf. +15), may have the most promise. “We’re very excited about Lottie. We think she will score 86-87 points and with her pedigree, she could be a Top 10 GLPI Cow in April if all goes well! She has consistently been in the top few McCutchen daughters for milk," Dave Eastman, a member of the Vogue partnership shares.

“These three heifers have been the best investment to date for the Vogue partnership,” comments Len Vis. “They have a dozen sons headed to A.I.; they flush like chickens – averaging over 20 embryos on each conventional flush – and they have really made us good money!”

Influence of Lautamie Titanic Picking up the story of Lautamie Titanic, she herself was also mated to Bolton and Goldwyn. Her Bolton daughter, Comestar Lautamia Bolton VG-87-CAN, through her Planet daughter, Comestar Lautamire Planet VG-87-CAN is the third dam of Peak Ltvia Byont 60218, a Plain-Knoll Dona Bayonet daughter owned by Peak Genetics that is +2700 GTPI as well as a high Supershot, Westcoast Supershot Sal at +2667 GTPI. Once again displaying the family’s versatility, Lautamire Planet is also the dam of Comestar Lauras Doorman, nominated All-American Fall Yearling in 2015 for her owner, Kayla Umbel of Maryland. Goldwyn was also a natural mating for Lautamie Titanic. A resulting son, Comestar Lavanguard, is a daughter-proven sire at Semex with 69% GP or better ranking on over 4200 classified daughters. His full sister, Comestar Lautama Goldwyn VG-88-CAN 11* parked herself in the Top 5 GLPI Cows in 2010 and 2011. Her Man-O-Man daughter, Comestar Lautamai Man O Man VG-87-2YR-CAN 1* sold as a promising VG-86 two-year-old for $80,000 in the 2012 Sale of Stars and was purchased by the partnership of Mapel Wood, O’Connor and Silverridge. Lautamai gained a point and finished an impressive 40,000

pound milk record for her new owners. Her Mogul son, Comestar Lineman is in the genomic lineup at Semex. According to Len Vis of Mapel Wood, she was a bit of an impulse buy for the group. “We were standing at the sale and thought she’d bring upwards of $100,000. We bid once and got her! She’s been a good purchase for us – we sold a lot of embryos out of her to Australia, the UK and Japan.” Lautamai may well be better known as the dam of a tall, black, gooduddered young cow that caught the eye of many in the junior twoyear-old class at the big North American fall shows in 2015. Comestar Lamadona Doorman VG-89-CAN placed quite high at all of those tough shows: first at La Supreme Laitier; fourth at World Dairy Expo; sixth at Royal Winter Fair. Her All-Canadian and All-American nominations as a junior two-year-old mirror her nominations as a summer yearling in 2014. Lamadonna attracted plenty of attention as an early Doorman daughter and even more so as his first VG-89 point two-year-old. She also is in the Top 60 GLPI cows in Canada at +3108 and +13 Conf. Purchased by Jamie Howard of Howard-View Holsteins in Burgessville, Ontario at the 2014 Day at the Derby Sale, Lamadonna exemplifies the versatility of the Laurie Sheik family in both the show and index worlds. “I saw her as a heifer at the spring show in Syracuse and felt very strongly about her potential”, Howard says. “She achieved that potential when she calved. She’s making a great record and is due back in

July. We have several females out of her and marketing her offspring is our business goal – and being from the Laurie Sheiks makes that goal much easier!” Other ‘trees’ from the Laurie Sheik forest certainly deserve acclaim as well for their achievements around the globe. Delicia EX-91-FR, the popular Baxter daughter that won the Six-Year-Old class at Swiss Expo in 2015 traces back to Comestar Laura Black, as does the well-known Dutch show cow, Camphols Rudolph Laurona EX-93-NL. Swisslor Damion Loria EX-90-NL, owned by Scholten Dairies of The Netherlands, won the Senior Two-Year-Old class at Swiss Expo in 2014 and hails from the L Or Black branch. Also making a name is the group at Ste Odile Farm in Quebec headlined by their Man-O-Man daughter, Ste Odile Manoman Model Saphir VG-85 1*. A former No. 1 GLPI cow, she holds her own in the Top 10. She and her sisters are making the high-index kind, including Ste Odile Supershot Electra, one of the world’s highest females at +2831 GTPI and +3467 GLPI. Saphir’s dam, Les091 Baxter Model Rubist VG-88-CAN 6*, has several sons in A.I. and originates from Comestar Laurie Inspiration VG-87-CAN 5*, the matriarch of the ‘Model’ line of the Laurie Sheiks. Few cow families can account for as many brood cow stars, A.I. contracts, show winners and sale toppers as the prolific Laurie Sheiks. The family has flourished worldwide because of this adaptability and it guarantees they will continue to shape the Holstein genetic landscape for years to come!

Story: A cow the continues to get better and better with age, TC Sanchez Kristina made a name for herself in 2015 being named Grand Champion of the New York State Fair and nominated on both sides of the

Spots

TC SANCHEZ KRISTINA | EXCELLENT-95-USA Breeder: Jeffery Bolton, Ontario (CAN) Owner: Cooper Galton, New York (USA)

Nominated All-American 5-Year-Old 2015 Nominated All-Canadian 5-Year-Old 2015 3rd and Best Udder 5-Year-Old, International Holstein Show 2015 HM Grand Champion, International Junior Holstein Show 2015 Grand Champion, New York State Fair 2015

border. One of Sanchez’s best, Kristina went up for committee this fall following her tremendous show season going Excellent-95. She is backed by an Excellent-92-4E Terrason followed by a Very Good-85 Rudolph and has calves coming by Goldwyn and Doorman.

DU BON VENT INKAPI | VERY GOOD-88-IT 2YR. Breeder: Du Bon Vent Holsteins (FR) Owner: Al-Be-Ro Holsteins, All. Beltramino, L. Bach, L. Sarrei & Bag2

Intermediate Champion Swiss Expo 2016 Intermediate- & Res. Grand Champion European Holstein Show Verona 2016 Res. Champion Espoir SPACE 2015

She is bred at Du Bon Vent Holsteins in France, from a VG Knowledge x VG89 Dolman x VG-88 Stormatic x VG-86 Lheros x VG-86 Ked Juror x VG-87 Tesk and is currently owned by the syndicate between Al-Be-Ro Holsteins, All. Beltramino, L. Bach, L. Sarrie and Bag2. Story: Inkapi is one of the most spoke about young cows in the World of 2016 and won already her 2 classes of the biggest European shows in 2016: Intermediate Champion at the Swiss Expo and Intermediate- & Reserve Grand Champion at the show in Verona, Italy.

Owner Comments: Giuseppe Beltramino: “I saw Inkapi for the 1st time at the SPACE show in Rennes. She impressed me the night before the show, where she was standing between 2 big older cows, her at-

show to replace L-Maples Hvezda Calli-Red who we recently sold. We heard about a dry five-year-old for sale, we waited for Kristina to calve and purchased her shortly after. She was a great addition to the show string being named HM Grand Champion of the Junior Show at World Dairy Expo. My favorite thing is there is no Goldwyn in her pedigree giving us lots of different options for mating sires. Kristina is due back this summer.”

titude grapped me as she was not scared but very aggresive, trying to get the hay and feed from her neighbours. At the moment she arrived in the herd of my brother Mauro he felt in love with her as well, she is such a great and easy cow to work with, she isn’t spoiled and can take easily care of herself. She is an aggresive eater and she was pregnant after 1 insemination with Toc-Farm Fontaine from which she will calf again in July after 1 year lactation. We expect a lot for Inkapi for the future. She is so correct and balanced without any faults with an amazing udder, so far she had the same carreer as Galys-Vray which as well won best udder at the SPACE before she won

FARHOPE SID KIZIL | EXCELLENT-91-USA EX-MS

Breeder: Farhope Holsteins, Ontario (CAN) Owner: Austin Yoder and Matthias Swartzenruber, Georgia (USA)

• HM All-Canadian Senior 2-Year-Old 2015 • 3rd Senior 2-Year-Old, Royal Winter Fair 2015

34 | Hotspots

Dairy Expo. Kizil is one of those great Sid daughters scoring Excellent-91 and is a second calf senior two-yearold that placed third in a fantastic class at the 2015 Royal Winter Fair. Backed by a deep Canadian pedigree, Kizil completes 11 generations Very Good or Excellent back to A Annzibar Marquis Kizil, All-Canadian ThreeYear-Old 1971.

Owner Comments: Austin Yoder, “Kizil was purchased privately last summer before calving.

Plans are to take her out to the big spring shows this year. Kizil is currently on a flush program and will have embryos available. She will be calved back in to show as a four-year-old.”

DH GOLD CHIP DARLING | VERY GOOD-87-CH Breeder: Dekker Holsteins (FR) Owner: Roger Frossard (CH)

• Res. Grand Udder Champion Swiss Expo 2016 • HM. Grand Champion Swiss Expo 2016

Story: DH Gold Chip Darling is a result of a Golden Cross: Gold Chip x Mr. Sam Darling VG-89-NL. Her dam Darling was owned by Diamond Genetics & JK Eder Holsteins and was beside her beautiful type and pedigree as well a popular bull dam! Darling is a Mr.

Sam x BW Marshall x Jolt x Elton - this Elton in fact is the full sister to Durham! Indeed, then followed by Dellia EX-95! DG & JK Eder has another full sister in the herd which won the 2yr. Old Championship at the Dairy Fair 2014 and is now in 2nd lactation as well and she looks better then ever! Also, 2 full sisters are milking at Dekker Holsteins and another one in Australia at Eclipse Holsteins is just fresh for the 1st time and looks very promising!

Breeder Comment: Krijn Dekker: “We purchased 4 embryo’s from Diamond Genetics & JK Eder Holsteins from Gold Chip x Darling which resulted in 3 females! We still have 2 in our herd, in is a 2nd calver now, which was 1st in her class at the Regional Show in her 1st lactation. DH Gold Chip Darling is the best young cow we over bred and owned, we took her to the Regional Show in Normandy (France) where she became Champion and later at the National Show the SPACE she placed 4th, judged by her current owner Roger Frossard! He already showed her interested in her after the show, but the deal was done at a show later on!“

PINELAND GOLDWYN HEMI | EXCELLENT-95 Breeder: Pineand Farms Inc., Maine (USA) Owner: Pineand Farms Inc., Maine (USA)

• 1st Aged Cow (BU) (B&O), Eastern Fall National Show 2015 • Grand Champion and Best Bred and Owned, Maine State Show 2015 • 1st Senior 2-Year-Old, Maine State Show 2010

Story: Born at Pineland Farms, Hemi is now eight years old, scored Excellent-95 and still calls Pineland home. Sired by Goldwyn and from an Excellent-94 show-winning Dundee she has a pedigree that was destined for greatness. Granddam is an Excellent-93

4E Stardust followed by four more generations Very Good or Excellent. Owner Comments: Aaron Creighton: “Hemi is one of the easiest and truly special cows I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Hemi was a ringside favorite this year as she won Grand Champion at the Maine State Show and the aged cow class at the Eastern Fall National. As one of Goldwyn’s strongest daughters, Hemi is built to last and milks very

efficiently. She still is going strong at 305 days with 36,052 lbs. of milk in the tank and extreme components 5.2%F 3.4%P. Her longevity breeds true from her dam who just completed her 365 day record at 8-10 with 34,163 lbs. of milk and 4.8%F 3.2%P. The future is bright as Hemi heads into an IVF program this spring and already has one Excellent and three Very Good daughters. I view her as a cow that will show people the best is yet to come from Hemi in the show ring and as a superior brood cow.”

VEENHUIZER GOLD ONE | EXCELLENT-91-NL Breeder: Veenhuizer Holsteins (NL) Owner: Veenhuizer Holsteins (NL)

• Intermediate- & Res. Grand Champion National HHH-Show 2015 • Intermediate Champion North-Show Beilen 2015 • 3rd 2yr. Old National NRM 2014

from the USA as the Intermediate Champion of the National HHH Show and won later the Res. Grand Championship! She has a great pedigree going back on ToMar Wayne Hay EX-90-USA, the dam of the legendary bull BLACKSTAR! Story: Following in her mother’s footsteps.. Veenhuizer Gold One! Her dam Veenhuizer Damion Winnie EX-92-NL won multiple big prices and was the Grand Champion at the HHH-Show 2011 and at the International Show in Libramont in 2012. Gold One was tapped by Pat Conroy

Breeder Comment: Jannes Uineken: “We are very fortunate that Damion Winnie has been such a great show cow and now is transmitting so well for us and others. She has a Goldwyn at the Hoekstra family which was Res. Champion at the regional show, a Jordan daughter sold to Switzerland

which scored VG-87 there as a 2nd calver and has 5 promising mikling Atwood daughters and a Brokaw. In our herd we have another Gerard- and Goldwyn sister to Gold One from which the Goldwyn has a very promising Sanchez daughter just fresh. Gold One is on of our all time herd favourites, she is not the tallest (155cm), but extremely balanced with width in the chest, her hard topline, quality udder and tremendous Feet & Legs. Her Aftershock daughter looks a lot like her and will sell in the Vekis Spring Sale ‘16. Gold One herself is pregnant now with Doorman so we can try get her ready for next year’s show season!“

Breeding Management 16 | Robotic Milking

 Breeding better robot cows Do breeding decisions change when farmers are milking their cows with a robot? Yes, say producers utilizing robotic milking systems. Naturally, udder depth and teat placement have more emphasis as well as milking speed and possibly even temperament. One thing is certain: robots deliver a great deal of data, which helps us to understand cows even better. Robot Ready, Robotic Bulls, Robot Maxx, Robot Suitable - more and more breeding organizations recommend a selection of their sires for robot farms. A growing number of farms worldwide are choosing to milk with a robotic milking system, and according to some farmers, that demands a different breeding strategy. “We will have to pay attention to traits such as milking speed and teat placement,” confirms Mandy Nunes of Scientific Holsteins, Wisconsin. Since mid-December 2015, the 107 dairy cows at Scientific Holsteins have been milked in a new barn with two robots. “The robot milks most of the cows without any problem,” Nunes says. “But we notice that a correct teat placement is very important. The teats shouldn't be too close together, but teats that are squarely placed can also be a problem when the laser scans the udder and cannot 'see' the rear teats if the front teats are in the way. Also there are other traits of more importance for robot milkers, like milking speed,” says Nunes. “Also aggressive cows work well, they have to do it on their own.” At Scientific Holsteins they will still be using high type bulls, Nunes confirms. “It's incredible how well our two-year-olds are doing, they have really adapted quickly.”

Functional udders The initial experiences of the Nunes’ at Scientific Holsteins confirms other reports. Research shows that the culls in robot herds versus other herds are higher for teat placement (6.5%) and milking speed (4.1%). Cows flagged by the robot for retrieval (because they have not passed through for milking in a certain time period) tend to have problems with lameness, udder health and udder conformation. It’s the impetus for breeding organizations to feature a targeted group of sires from their lineups that transmit the most ideal robot traits. For example, the Robot Ready lineup from Semex, which includes emphasis on udder quality and depth, teat alignment, mobility, workability (milking speed) and mastitis resistance. Jay Shannon, Director of Global Marketing and Dairy Solutions at Semex explains that robot producers must adapt their level of management and their choice of bulls in order to achieve maximum success with robots. “The robot technology has advanced so much that there is less critical differences when selecting bulls for robots vs. bulls for milking parlors,” Shannon said. In Canada, about 1200 robots milk on 600 farms and that number is increasing.

Jay Shannon, Semex

“There is nothing quite like the quietness and cow contentedness as you walk through a well-managed robot farm." He recommends that dairy producers look for the highest merit bulls

"Our fifth calvers have youthful udders"

Don Penner, Benner Holsteins, Mainitoba, Canada For the past six years, 240 out of the 350 milking cows at Benner Holsteins in Manitoba, Canada have been milked by four robots and yes, their breeding has certainly changed. “The robots can milk almost any cow, but with the right udder, teat placement and milking speed, it functions better and easier. You have fewer refusals and less trouble. The Penners don't really focus on the sires branded as robot sires. “We select the sires according our own selection traits.” For teat placement, Penner notes the further apart, the better. “The best is to breed cows that have the teats not in the middle, but more on the outside of the quarter. Also teat length is a very important issue. The robot has more difficulty finding

the teats when they are shorter and smaller.” Another cow characteristic that makes the robots’ work more difficult is crampiness. Unfortunately this has not been a point of emphasis for AIs,” Penner notices. “Cows with crampiness move around too much in the robot; they shake too much. Because of this, the robot has trouble finding the teats of these cows and it takes too long to put the teat cups on, or the robot gives up. It would be good to identify sires that transmit this crampiness.” “The temperament of the cows is not an issue for selecting sires and neither is milking speed except maybe for the extreme slow ones, they take too much box time.” Penner isn’t con-

cerned with udder depth, crediting the good udders throughout the Holstein breed. Without a doubt, the Penners are very happy with the way their robots milk. “Our cows are getting older, and they produce more milk. We notice that the udders of our fourth and fifth calf cows are still very youthful. Thanks to the robot, fresh cows have less stress. The robot milks them five times a day and that makes it much easier for the cows, in every way.”

Robots at work, Scientific Holsteins, Wisconsin, USA on overall indexes such as TPI, LPI or Pro$. “Robot producers simply put some additional attention on a few traits in an effort to avoid extreme bulls that may be problematic for the robot,” Shannon said. Bulls that meet all the requirements for these traits are branded as 'Robot Ready' sires. Shannon notes that all producers look for sires with these qualities, but traits such as milking speed and good teat placement are more critical on robot farms. “Robot producers look to avoid bulls siring close rear teats, wide front teats or short teats; all of which can be a little difficult for the robot. Reverse tilt udders can also cause a few problems for the robot. Bulls with low SCS and greater resistance to mastitis are important on all dairy farms and probably no more so than on robot farms. Robots require free moving and mobile cows with a good foot and rear legs that are wide and straight tracking causing no inward pressure on the rear udder so as not to interfere with milker attachment,” Shannon said.

No narrow teat placement With 25 percent of the herds in Denmark utilizing the technology, the country has one of the highest robot farm populations in the world. The udder is one of the most important traits, notices Hans Christian Hansen, Export Manager at Viking. “A functional udder is the best udder for the robot,” concludes Hansen. “It needs to have a good ligament and cannot be too deep, as the robot can't attach the teat cups. The teats have to be placed in the middle, or even a bit on the outside of the quarters. A narrow teat placement in the rear and front makes the work for the robot real difficult,” Hansen adds. “The narrow teat placement is a problem in Holstein breeding, especially the rear teats. It's difficult for the robot to put on the teat cups, it takes more time and that lowers the capacity of the system,” notices Hansen.

CRV: special It's been almost 25 years since the first milking robot was installed on a dairy farm. Since then the number of farms milking their cows with a robot has increased rapidly, especially in recent years. In the Netherlands, they expect that 30 percent of all dairy operations will be milking with a robot by 2030. The farms that now use robots deliver about 3.5 million measurements to CRV every week. The breeding organization has analyzed the data and converts it into breeding values: robot efficiency, milking interval and robot adaption. Robot efficiency is the

milking time, strongly correlated to milking speed. “This is one of the most used robot breeding values,” says Joost Klein Herenbrink, Global Product Manager for Holsteins and Jerseys at CRV. “It’s strongly related with the milk volume every robot can produce. But there is also a disadvantage with increasing the milking speed: the cows are more sensitive to mastitis. We have to take udder health into account,” Klein Herenbrink adds. “The milking interval is the period between two robot milkings. It gives an idea how regular a cow visits a robot. On average, it's 8.5 hours with two out of three cows having an interval between 5.8 and 10.8 hours. This is an optimum index,” Klein Herenbrink notices. Robot adaption, the third robot breeding trait, identifies how long it takes before a two-year-old adapts to the robot system. Using sires with a high score on robot adaption will make the life of a robot farmer easier: the first calvers should more quickly conform to the robotic milking process. According to Klein Herenbrink, more indexes will be developed in the upcoming years. “We get so much data, which can help to breed a better robot cow. Condition score, for example. There are robots weighing cows now.” He doesn't dismiss the possibility that CRV will start a breeding program for robots. “As the number of farms with robotic milking systems worldwide is growing, we notice these farmers have a different sire demand,” Klein Herenbrink added. In addition to the earlier mentioned udder traits and milking speed, he points out that teat size is also very important for robot milkers. “Worldwide, Holstein breeding has trended to shorter and smaller teats. That's not what you want with a robot, you want the teats to be longer and thicker,” Klein Herenbrink concludes.

Higher capacity, more cows What does selecting for these robot traits mean for dairy farmers? They can milk more cows per system. If a farmer uses a bull with a score of 108 for example on robot efficiency, the cows produce an extra 0.18 kilo (.39 lb) of milk per minute. The difference adds up to an extra 216 kilos (476 lbs) of milk per day and to an additional 79,000 kilos (174,165 lbs) of milk per year. With an average production of 30 kilos (66 lbs) of milk per cow per day, it means seven extra cows on the robotic milking system. That's what selective trait breeding can do for the profit of a robot operation.

UFM-Dubs Eroy

 The European

branches of the Eroys

The unique mating of type specialist Roylane Jordan on the Chief Mark son, Rich-Ro Mark Sam proved to be a successful combination for two iconic cows born in the early 2000s. While the one developed into a two-time Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo, Harvue Roy Frosty EX-97, the other UFM-Dubs Eroy VG-87 GMD DOM produced offspring that have been a dominate force on the index charts over the past decade. This article will focus on the story of Eroy and her tremendous transmitting capabilities creating several industry-impacting lines in Europe

On the female side, Erin produced many great daughters that did extremely well for the van Tassels but her most popular is the Very Good-87 GMD DOM Roy, UFM-Dubs Eroy. Van Tassel flushed Eroy several times before selling her in 2005. One of the flushes was to Picston Shottle. “The Shottle mating was a contract with ABS and resulted in Sheray (UFM-Dubs Sheray EX-90 DOM), I think it was a great mating on Eroy,” shares van Tassel. “Although I don’t flush anymore as it is difficult for my 100-cow herd to compete, I had a great 10 years with this family and the whole ride has been a fantastic memory," van Tassel concluded.

The Beginning

We will come back to Sheray when we will look at her Superstition daughters in Europe but for now will stay with Eroy.

Before we can discuss the exciting offspring in Europe, let’s go back to the roots of this cow family and talk to Stephen van Tassel of UFMDubs Holsteins, Millbrook, New York. “The cow family has already been on the farm for a long time and the breeding goal has always been high butter fat and type. The family has done well for us, but the first cow that entered the spotlight and received lots of interest was UFM-Dubs Sam Erin scored EX-90.”

The Eroy story continues with a change of ownership in 2005 selling on the Snapshots of Starmark Sale in Ohio. Lance Kamm of Nova Holsteins, Wisconsin was looking for a cow that could bring him the total package; index, solid type and something with a little different pedigree. Kamm and partners purchased Eroy and never regretted it.

The herd matriarch, Erin, is now 16 years of age and still resides at UFM-Dubs Holsteins. From Erin, several sons went to A.I. including UFM-Dubs AltaEsquire. Oman son Esquire was a popular component and calving ease bull in the line-up at Alta Genetics.

"A couple days after she came to New Richmond, Wis. she was in heat and we bred her to Goldwyn. We knew that she was flushed to Goldwyn before and we really liked the mating but didn’t know how well she would flush after such a long trip,” Kamm shared. The Goldwyn flush resulted in five daughters Echo, Edie, Eden, Erin and Era. “Echo was probably the most popular donor ever at Nova Holsteins, the first year she was flushed every four weeks averaging 17 embryos per flush of which the majority were sold,” Kamm said. Eroy is still in the Nova herd and flushed two to three times per year with younger daughters by Goldwyn and Atwood. Kamm shares, “The Eroys are above average milk cows in our herd, although they are not the wettest they do have tremendous components and the type is really good with every cross.”

Success... Super, Supersire, Silver As we move into the European success of the Eroys here are a few interesting facts. In December 2015 there were six offspring from the family in the European Top 50 GTPI Cows including the No. 1 and No. 2. In the Top European GTPI Calves (under nine months of age) there are eight Eroy descendants. While the top three females from the intermediate February 2016 run were also from the Eroy family. These successes are a direct result of embryo purchases and the growing branches of the Sherays and Goldwyn daughters of Eroy in Europe. The story continues with a purchase of Charlesdale Supersition embryos from UFM-Dubs Sheray by Diamond Genetics, The Netherlands. These embryos resulted in daughters, Twin Sheray 2 VG-852YR and Twin Sheira VG-85. Twin Sheray 2 was offered in the Eurogenes Online Heifer Sale and sold to the herd of Mts. Koning from Munnekezijl in the north of the Netherlands where she became a vital part of their breeding program. Ary Koning from Mts. Koning shares: “We have been investing in genetics for a long period of time, from all our investments we have done, the purchase of Twin Sheray 2 has been a homerun.” Sheray 2 still boasts a GTPI of +2188 and is scored VG-85. “We now have around 10 daughters of Sheray 2 of which three are milking and sired by Cashcoin and Supersire."

Ary Koning, Mts. Koning

The Sherays in our herd are very strong, late maturing and very persistent through the lactation, the breeding pattern is very consistent in their type, both phenotypical as genetically." Around 15 bulls from Sheray 2 and her daughters have been sold to A.I. over the years, of which Shean is the highest son with a GTPI of +2503. Sired by Supersire, Shean is marketed by AI Total. Sheray 2’s full sisters are now creating the next generation of high ranking females for Koning. Supersire Sheray 5851 is currently the No. 1 GTPI female over twoyears-old in Europe scoring GTPI+2654 while her sister Supersire Sheray 5830 scores GTPI+2530. A third sister, Super Shaney scores GTPI+2514 ranking them all in the Top 25. Supersire Sheray 5851 is the dam of Silver son, Koning Shanine GTPI+2766 who sold for €68,000 in the Elite Online Bull Sale and was the highest bull to be ever offered in a public sale worldwide. She also has AltaSpring daughters scoring GTPI+2701 and GTPI+2667 ranking them very high on the European charts. Her sister, Sheray 5830, proves that the Silver mating works on the family with two daughters scoring over GTPI+2700. Shakira 2 was the No. 3 Female in Europe for calves under nine months of age in December 2015 while her GTPI+2729 full sister will be offered in the 2016 Vekis Spring Sale and is the highest GTPI calf to be ever offered in a public sale in Europe. The full sister of Sheray 2 is in the herd of Twin Genetics where she scored VG-85 and also had a successful flush to Supersire. From that flush, embryos were sold to Bev Baker from BB Holsteins in the UK resulting in BB Supersire Sheira GTPI+2643. Sheira is currently owned in partnership with Diamond Genetics and will calve in April 2016. She has three Silver sons in A.I. and two Silver daughters that score nearly GTPI+2700. Sheira’s full sister, Sheray 3, is now scored VG-86-2YR 87-MS and still resides in the Twin Genetics herd. She has an AltaSpring daughter scoring GTPI+2662 and is one of the highest protein heifers in Europe with +69 pounds. The full brother to Sheira and Sheray 3 is TW Suhnstar GTPI+2555 marketed through AI Total. Another growing European branch of the Sherays is through Man-OMan daughter, Sahara Sky, who scored Excellent in her third lactation.

David Jones of Wiltor and Sahara Holsteins purchased Sahara Sky in 2011 at the Hessens Zukunft Sale.

David Jones, Wiltor and Sahara “I purchased her because she was one of the highest females in Europe available and backed by a great cow family. Since the arrival, the family has done very well. They are great free-stall type cattle with high protein."

From Skye, a Saloon son was sold to Masterrind while her Mogul son, Sahara Baloo, went to Cogent and has been one of the top sires for daughters registered in the UK for quite a while now.” Jones sold a Mogul daughter from Sky, Sahara Mogul Sky, to SchaffersNijenhuis, The Netherlands and her offspring have already resulted in many top selling females including Sahara Mogul S 5 GTPI+2698 who topped the 2015 German Master Sale. In the same sale, the secondhigh seller was Peak Exotic Yoder 8640 GTPI+2639 (Yoder x Supersire x Shottle x Goldwyn x Eroy) who sold for €51,000. Both heifers are now at Challenge Holsteins Kat (CHD), The Netherlands.

The fabulous five As mentioned earlier shortly after Eroy arrived at Nova Holsteins she was flushed to Goldwyn resulting in five heifers. We already briefly mentioned Echo who scored VG-88 DOM and was flushed intensively. Her Man-O-Man son Maxim is the former No. 1 gRZG and was a

popular sire of sons at OHG in Germany. He also has a Sebastien brother, Secco, in their lineup of proven sires. Echo’s Robust daughter, CNN Miss America VG-85-2YR is one of the highest Robusts in Europe and her daughters by Kanu-P and Chevrolet rank well for their age group on RZG. Jeeves daughter Nova-TMJ Jeeves Eleta VG-863YR has descedents by Supersire GTPI+2539 at Bassingthorpe Holsteins, UK, and Monterey at Zooservis & Partners in Czech. While Echo was the most prolific flush cow at Nova Holsteins, it’s probably the line from Nova-TMJ Golden Edie-ETS VG-87-2YR that is the most dominant in the U.S. at the moment. Edie is the dam of Nova Shottle Evelyn VG-87 DOM owned by Josh Miller of Miller Family Farms, Wisconsin. Evelyn was a popular donor from the start as one of the highest GTPI daughters of Shottle and has had a long career as a flush-cow. Her embryos and daughters have sold to numerous breeders worldwide and multiple offspring have sold for top prices on public sales. Miller-FF Bookem Esther sold for $125,000 at the 2011 Party at the Planet Sale and Miller-FF SSire Exotic sold at the 2013 Party at the Park Sale. Exotic has been an important donor in the genetic program at Peak, producing several high-indexing offspring. Peak Exotic Dancer sired by AltaSpring has a GTPI of +2794 and her maternal brother by Kingboy, Peak altaKermit boast a GTPI of +2736. Exotic is also the dam of the Peak Exotic Yoder 8640 who was mentioned earlier. Evelyn also has Supersire daughters in the herds of DW Holsteins in Germany and Broekhuis Vee in The Netherlands. Breeder Stephen Van Tassel is enjoying the success of his cow family, “100% of my herd goes back to this cow family and it has been an amazing 10 years, I am glad the family is creating as much excitement for others as it did for me.”

Mountfield SSI Dcy Mogul Choose your favorite MOGUL daughter



In December 2014, Mogul made his debut as the new No. 1 progeny proven sire. In the months preceding his debut there was already lots of buzz from the field about these outstanding two-years-olds with beautiful udders and tremendous feet and legs. With his first proof Mogul confirmed these numbers and over the next couple of runs he has kept his high-level index. Today, Mogul still scores GTPI+2540 making him the No. 3 GTPI proven sire and his impact on the breed will be momentous. Mogul's popularity started early in his career as a genomic young sire, he had a great index and an outcross sire stack (Dorcy x Marsh) backed by the Rudy Missys. To illustrate Mogul’s unique transmitting capabilities from the middle of December to the middle of January 86 daughters were scored achieving an average score of 82.314. In Canada, Mogul shows similar numbers with a total of 349 daughters classified of which 88% scored GP or better!
