“It maximizes a cow’s genetic potential.”

— Joe Engel

“People ask how our cows’ udders look so good so soon after calving. I say we always use Udder Comfort.™

It maximizes a cow’s genetic potential. We use it on the entire udder of every heifer twice a day after calving and put it between the leg and udder to soothe irritation before they calve. For fresh mature cows, we use it routinely, but fewer days. It does an awesome job softening udders and is gentle to skin,” says Joe Engel, Luck-E Holsteins, Hampshire, Illinois. Dams of the 184-cow milking herd average EX92. Luck-E has bred over 600 EX, including both sides of the pedigree of Luck-E Awesome Adventure EX94 96MS, 2022 Illinois Cow of the Year. Joe’s 9-year-old son showed her at World Dairy Expo. She was International Type and Production winner nominated Junior All-American.

“We want fresh, crisp, perfect udders by 10 to 21 days in milk. Udder Comfort gets udders spot-on, all the way ready, fast. At our 50th anniversary sale in 2019, we had many cows just fresh and showring ready,” says Joe. In 2023, brothers Joe and Matt are preparing 170 lots, including around 90 milking cows, many fresh in March for the ‘Best of Luck-E’ sale in April.
