Welcome to Ravenscroft Hall Farm

We would like to invite you to our first Riverdane Holsteins on-farm sale, “The Theatre of Dreams” sale. We are presenting a collection of our very best animals from the heart of our herd. During our time at Ravenscroft, we have invested into some of the most elite genetics in the world.

Most of the pedigrees incorporate All-Britain, All-Canadian, All-American, or All-World credentials.

To get this far, we are very indebted to many of our friends, partners, and most of all – our family. We also would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all the hard work and dedication Oliver and his staff have contributed to our herd. Special thanks must also go to Tom Lomas (Celltech), Mark Thornton (Forfarmers), Ben Pedley (Willows Farm Vets) and Simon Dowle for their ongoing contribution, going above and beyond on many occasions. We are so grateful to have such a fantastic team around us.

We sincerely hope that all the cattle sold will join and – leave their own legacy – in your herd.

Most importantly, please come and enjoy the day and our hospitality afterwards.

Mark, Susan & Jodie

AUCTIONEER’S

Welcome to the Riverdane Holsteins Theatre Of Dreams

Sale, which is a unique international event for all Holstein enthusiasts.

The animals presented in this special catalogue are not only the very best of Riverdane Holsteins, they are also some of the very BEST within the dairy industry. The national and international appeal within these pages is incredible and the impact these animals will have in your breeding program –and the global Holstein business – will be colossal.

For the past 24 years I’ve observed the Riverdane Holstein herd become one of the most recognized and respected names on the planet. Striving for perfection and the desire to continually improve the Holstein cow has been Mark and Sue’s vision since they established, and it has become a reality in so many ways. Riverdane has been the home to four Excellent 97 cows, including their most recent, Riverdane EX Rosabel EX97. Some of Rosabel’s progeny feature in this outstanding event.

Today the Riverdane herd is managed in a state-of-the-art complex with the high yielders milked by two GEA robots. A new 20/20 herringbone milking parlour is used to milk the rest of the herd. The No. 1 breeding philosophy has been to focus on milk, fat and protein and the herd is currently averaging 11,486kgs milk, 4.3% butterfat, 3.2% protein. Following this has been type with specific focus on udders, and feet and legs.

Currently, the herd has 36 cows classified EX93 points or higher, including 9 x EX94, 4 x EX95, 3 x EX96 and 1 x EX97!

To highlight individuals in this sale is a challenging task when you consider the special opportunities you could win.

Elke, Blexy, Cheers, Footloose, Springsteen, Jolie, Tequila, Valana, Hurry Up, Atlee, Ambrosia and Lila Z individual recognition due to their legendary status. The two animals I want to mention have greatness oozing from every generation of their sublime pedigrees.

RIVERDANE KD HANNAH

most complete and unique individuals to ever be offered for sale. This beauty flirts with perfection, her pedigree, index, and conformation are phenomenal. She is the highest GTPI daughter of Siemers LBA Hanina EX94 with a GTPI+2926 and an impressive PTAT at +3.22. If you like the real-time data here goes – her dam gave almost 18,000kgs in her third lactation at 5.8% butterfat, and is currently one of the highest PTAT Cows in the world – backed by three Global Cow of the Year achievements in her pedigree.

RIVERDANE MISS FDL ASHLYN (LOT 71) is an ultra-special Lambda daughter from Riverdane Deman Ashlyn EX95. She is one of the Highest Conformation Heifers in the World at Conf+15 Mammary+12 and Feet & Legs +12. Her dam produced over 13,000kgs at 5.17% butterfat, her next dam is Riverdane Seaver Ashlyn EX94, the sister to the European Show winner Riverdane Ashlyns Gold EX95.

Regardless of the market you are interested in, all the cattle that feature in this catalogue have one common thread –greatness!

Everywhere you look are pedigrees that are filled with greatness. All-World Champions, Madison Champions, Royal Winter Fair Champions, UK National Champions, Highest Star Brood Cows, Production Champions.

The prospects of investing in these premier bovines are excellent, as is the potential return on investment.

On Saturday 19th August join us as this world-class group

Health Summary of the Riverdane Holsteins Herd

Ben Pedley BVSc MRCVS, Clinical Director, Willows Farm Vets

We are very proud to have been the practice responsible for veterinary provision to the Riverdane herd since Mark and Susan moved to Ravenscroft Hall Farm in 1999. Their attention to the health and welfare of the herd is exceptional, with us being closely involved in many of the processes put in place to ensure the herd is fit for the performance expected of it, and that you see in front of you today.

• TB. The last annual whole herd test was 17/4/23. There has never been any inconclusive or reactor cattle. The animals in the sale have been pre movement tested

• Johne’s. The milking herd is screened via milk recording every 3 months. There are no known positive animals in the sale, or offspring of any Johne’s positive dams. All the herd is managed as per the National Johne’s Management Plan

• IBR. The herd is vaccinated every 6 months with Bovilis IBR Marker Live in the Spring and Autumn, from bulling age upwards

• Leptospirosis. The herd is vaccinated with Leptavoid H every Spring, with all replacement heifers double dosed from 10 months old

• Lungworm. All heifers are vaccinated prior to their first grazing season with Huskvac

• BVD. The herd is vaccinated annually with Bovela, wit h the replacement heifers being vaccinated prior to their first AI service. The bulk milk is screened every 6 months for BVD antigen. There has never been a PI recorded. And all calves are tag tested at birth

• Calf health. The calves are vaccinated against pneumonia with Nasym at 9+ days old and again at weaning

• Neospora. For at least 5 years any cows that lose pregnancies have been tested for Neospora with no positives recorded

BLONDIN LEGEND

Rosina

“The Rosinas are aggressive, want-to-do kind of cows. When I first came across Neatishall Decker Rosina, I was Master Judge at an on-farm competition where there were a few young people that wanted a demonstration of what to look for, and I picked her out as an example for them because she was very close to my ideal kind of in-milk heifer. She wasn’t huge, she had a lot of power, a lot of strength and a stitched-on udder. I didn’t think about her again and I didn’t make the connection when she won Grand Champion of our dairy farming event a short time later.”

– Mark Nutsford.

Note: At the time, Neatishall Decker Rosina EX94-3E 5* was owned by Mark and Susan’s good friends, Nick and Louisa Sercombe, of Melton Mowbray. Their resulting partnership on her would be the catalyst to establish the Rosina family for both farms.

FOOTLOOSE

“…this is our time to dance”

Oakfield Solom Footloose was a force before she won Supreme Champion at WDE 2022.

In part, because of her “blue blood”, and in part because of her early achievements, her six-figure price tag – already in the history books – and that she was housed at one of the best hotels on the planet, Duckett Holsteins, in Wisconsin.

Footloose is the granddaughter of the EX97-3E two-time (2009 & 2010) WDE Supreme Champion granddam – Harvey Roy Frosty. So, it was no surprise when she topped the Summer Selections Sale, hosted by Duckett Holsteins, selling for US$355,000 in June 2021. It was almost US$200,000 more than the second top price that day. Vierra Dairy – known for its Jerseys – joined Footloose’s incumbent partners, Duckett Holsteins and Tim and Sharyn Abbott, on the (then) EX94 (EX98-MS) four-year-old. With her management team locked down, Footloose would go on to win the four-year-old class and Reserve Grand Champion Holstein at WDE 2021.

Twelve months later she became the second generation of her family to win Supreme Champion at the 2022 WDE for Duckett Holsteins and their partners.

UK CONNECTION

Urged on by Tom Lomas and Oliver Greenhalgh, Riverdane had bought a package of five Lambda embryos from Footloose’s Dempsey daughter who calved in March 2023 and classified VG87@2YRS, five weeks fresh. Riverdane welcomed three heifers.

In what represents an exclusive European opportunity, two of Footloose’s granddaughters have been included in the Theatre of Dreams sale. The bonus of buying household pedigrees is that the marketing on this family is already done.

Furthermore, Footloose’s journey is far from complete. Take advantage of this priceless opportunity to write yourself into the next chapter of Footloose’s UK legacy.

YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG IF YOU COME HOME WITH “REDROSES”

The Redrose family has been good to a lot of breeders globally – including Riverdane.

Shortly after Lavender Ruby Redrose-Red EX-96 4E won Supreme at the 2005 WDE, Riverdane secured some Shottle and Advent embryos directly from her.

Of the nine pregnancies, they got one Shottle heifer, and they sold her for a world record price for a yearling in the 2008 Global Glamour sale for US$255,000. It wasn’t the first time they had dealt in big numbers with this family. Because Riverdane paid US$135,000 for Rosedale Adventaeous-Red in the 2006 World Classic Sale. Adventaeous would go on to classify EX92-3E 6* and embryos from her were sent to the UK, which established the family at Riverdane a generation later.

Don’t miss your chance to take home a “Redrose”.

ATLEE Enduring global Influence…

Adeen continues to underpin so much of the breed, and Riverdane has seven Atlees to choose from on August 19.

First up is the show-stopper – Lot 35 – RIVERDANE CRUSHTIME ATLEE-ET VG89 (EX90 MS) 3YR. It’s no surprise that Crushtime Atlee is outstanding in her own right, given her watertight maternal line.

Starting from the Crushtime’s sixth and seventh dams respectively – who are both EX94 – there are three out of four generations AllAmerican. They include All-American AITKENBRAE STARBUCK ADA (seventh dam), MS KINGSTEAD CHIEF ADEEN (sixth dam and member of the All-American produce of dam 2000), MD-DELIGHT STRM AMBERLEE (fifth dam, who didn’t achieve All-American status, but whose Lee sister was nominated), then comes her fourth dam, MD-DELIGHT DURHAM ATLEE (who achieved All-American status as a milking yearling).

That’s not to downplay the Crushtime Atlee’s 3rd dam –RIDGEFIELD GOLD ATLEE VG89 32*, which is the chapter where Riverdane first signed in to write their own Atlee story.

Mark and Susan snapped up the then 14-month-old Gold Atlee for the second-top price of 20,000gns at the 2008 Ridgefield Holstein dispersal of John and Valerie Barker, from Loughborough. Mark said he knew immediately that day that he wasn’t going home without the Goldwyn heifer, which he considered to be the “opportunity of a lifetime”.

Gold Atlee is Atwood’s full sister, and a full sister to Ms Atlee Goldwyn Ariel EX92 7*, who – among her other achievements – sold for US$1.5million. Gold Atlee is also the full sister to other proven sires Heavenly Golden Dreams, Mr Atlees, AltaAmazing, Atlantic, and Attic.

For reference Adeen also remains the all-time No.2 global transmitter (behind her sister, Ashlyn) for leaving the most Excellent daughters (51). Sires who rank among the great type transmitters of the past decade – Atwood, Atlantic, Aftershock, Golden Dreams, and Archrival – all trace back through their maternal line to Adeen.

Adeen also had that rare ability to leave high genomics in addition to All-American progeny.

If you want bluechip investments, here they are.

“Where we had the fitting chute set up, Atlee [MD-Delight Durham Atlee] was tied just six feet away. I kept looking at the calf, liking the calf, looking at the calf, liking the calf. But she was small for her age.” – is how Michael Heath described Durham Atlee to “HotSpots” in 2012 when he first saw her at the final sale he worked as a professional fitter. He didn’t buy her then, but a year later he did scratch his Atlee itch – purchasing her in partnership with Rick Allyn and Jason Lloyd. The rest (as they say) is history.

Strawberry fields forever…

Few Red & White Holsteins have had the chance to trump their Black & White contemporaries.

Famous examples include a cow known simply as “Apple” who won a massive Black & White two-year-old milking class at WDE in 2006, and another recent glaring example is Blondin RD Unstoppabull Maple-Red who took on the whole RWF last November, winning the Red & White Championship, the Black & White Championship, and Supreme Champion in Toronto in a massive back-to-back three-day odyssey.

On home soil, the UK equivalent is Riverdane Miss Awesome Strawberry-Red EX92. This home-bred show-stopper is sired by Luck-E Absolute Awesome Red. She was the Red & White Grand Champion (under US judge Terri Packard) at the 2022 UK Dairy Expo – going on to win Supreme Champion. Strawberry’s dam, Riverdane Colt Strawberry EX95-3E 8 Stars, also stood first that day – in the production class. Further to that, six out of seven generations in this family are classified EX – including an EX96 and EX95.

This year, Strawberry was Grand Champion Red & White and Reserve Supreme at the UK Dairy Expo, and she is back in-calf to Swissbec Power (sexed), giving her a chance to win the UK Dairy Expo treble in successive years.

Mark Nutsford said making the big call to include her, her daughter, and three more family members in The Theatre of Dreams Sale was easier than some may expect.

“We want to sell our very best and she’s one of our very best,” Mark said. “She’s always been a crowd favourite. She’s medium-sized, wide as a bus, she’s got a boxcar rump, and she’s f….. hellish good.”

Who doesn’t love a Strawberry? Bid last.

You don’t have to dig very deep to see why Riverdane Doorman Elke-ET EX93 (MAX) SP is the reigning All-Britain four-year-old and classified MAX points for age.

The Val-Bisson Doorman daughter was also the Grand Champion Holstein (including Best Udder) at the 2022 UK Dairy Expo, and she leads off the sale offering for this family, alongside her March-2023 Siemers EXC Hanans daughter who also sells. Elke has peaked at more than 13,000kg with a whopping 5.2% butterfat test.

Elke’s Dutch dam – sired by Goldwyn – was the 2022 Dutch Cow of the Year (Holstein International). Now aged 14 years, the EX-91 21-star brood cow is the only cow alive in Europe who has seven Excellent daughters in four countries. Elke’s full sister JK Eder DG Esmeralda EX92-NL (EX94-MS) was the Champion two-year-old at the 2016 National HHH-show, and sixth in her age class at the 2019 European Show at Libramont.

VALANA FOR VICTORY

Everyone worth their salt is aware of the rapid impact Ferme Jacobs has had as a global breeder herd since it first exhibited at WDE in 2008.

Every year it has to navigate the 2155km journey to WDE’s Madison from its Québec base at Cap-Santé. The family has always focussed more on in-milk entries – making that transit more demanding.

Ferme Jacobs has won Premier Breeder at WDE nine times in 14 years (64%) and Premier Exhibitor twice – along with the well-documented swag of individual awards at the pointy end of the competition.

Winning Premier Breeder banners that quickly and that regularly against formidable North American competition comes down to a breeding programme that can absorb a lot of scrutiny.

In Canada just one other Canadian farm has won Premier Breeder at The Royal more times than Ferme Jacobs (Romandale Holsteins, 13 times). Notably, at The Royal, Ferme Jacobs also doesn’t show a lot of heifers and they have nudged ahead of household names like Dupasquier Holsteins, Hanover Hill Holsteins, Glenafton Holsteins and Rosafe Holsteins.

Riverdane didn’t hesitate to tap into the heart of its breeding programme – investing in Unix embryos from a Doorman daughter of JACOBS GOLDWYN VALANA-ET EX95.

Valana is a three-times Bred-and-Owned Grand Champion

JACOBS GOLDWYN VALANA ET EX 95

- PHOTO THE BULLVINE

at WDE (2014, 2015 and 2017). She was also a regular All-American and All-Canadian nomination between 2014 and 2017. She paid the bills at home, and she has passed on her will to milk at Riverdane through her Unix granddaughter.

Valana is the third dam of a June 2022-born Blondin Legend daughter who sells, RIVERDANE MISLEGEND VALANA.

The Jacobs family all tend to strap the cows they love, and Ysabel was always on Valana’s halter. She sums up the black colossus.

“Valana was a perfect all-around cow. She was so easy to work with, she stood out for her great dairy strength and presence in the ring, and her milk production day-to-day. It was an honour to show her for many years,” Ysabel said.

Take home a slice of one of Canada’s heavyhitters.

That commitment to breeding excellence is always more fun when the ride is shared. The 5Guys syndicate – which includes Riverdane – started the Blexy ball rolling when they collectively teamed up to secure a Blexy for the UK from the WDE 2017 Supreme Champion, Rosiers Blexy Goldwyn EX97.

Their efforts yielded three direct daughters from Blexy – sired by Blondin Raptor – which are classified VG88, VG86, and VG87 respectively. It is the VG88 exponent – 5Guys Blexy Black Raptor – who has blazed a trail for the family in the UK show-rings and in the All-Britains. She was the All-Britain two-year-old in 2021 and Reserve All-Britain three-year-old in 2022. She’s unbeaten in the show ring, and she is housed and managed by Riverdane on behalf of the 5Guys partnership.

Her daughter, Riverdane Arrows Bling (x DG NH Arrow), sells along with Bling’s June 2023-born Siemers Fitters Choice daughter.

The third member of this family to sell is a November 2022-born Stantons Chief daughter out of 5Guys Blexy Raptor VG86-2YR.

CHAMPIONS ARE BORN…THEN MADE

When Blexy triumphed at WDE in 2017, she was owned by Tim and Sharyn Abbott and Clarke and Lois Woodmansee (with Hank Van Exel, Budjon and Peter Vail joining the partnership in 2016).

Hank and his wife, Carolyn, ran four farms at Lodi, California, USA. Hank had achieved just about everything there was to do in the industry at that time – except win Grand or Supreme at WDE. Blexy changed that for him.

At the time, Hank summed up why he had to own part of her: “Very few cows in life stop you, and she stopped me.”

“I appreciated her extreme width, and how she lifted her head above her shoulder so easily, and she just stood and chewed her cud. When she was milked out after judging that year — bearing in mind it was two hours after being sashed — she had 118lbs [54 litres] of milk on her, and she milked out with no swelling. Nothing. She then had a big drink, and she lay down and started chewing her cud. Which is what she always did.

“This cow knows when it’s game-time, and that’s a special trait.”

It must be something in the Springsteen name which meant it was destined to succeed at Riverdane…despite a shaky start.

Riverdane originally secured Prelude embryos from Pinehurst Springsteen EX91 – one of two sisters sired by Inspiration –from the famous Pinehurst Farms herd at Sheboygan Falls, in Wisconsin.

Mark said the resulting Prelude heifer was decent without being great. However, when they joined her to Goldwyn, she delivered a stunning heifer calf. An accident on-farm when the Goldwyn was a baby forever damaged her leg and she did well to calve three times – carry the best udder Riverdane has ever bred – and get to VG88. Notably, she now has 22 stars. They flushed the Goldwyn once – to Explode. A resulting heifer, Riverdane Explode Springsteen, was sold as a freshly calved VG85 2YR.

They classified the Explode before she left because she had delivered a newborn Apples Absolute-Red heifer. She was named…Riverdane Absolute Springsteen. Absolute

Springsteen is now the EX95-2E Max matriarch of Riverdane’s show team, and fittingly, “The Boss” of the farm.

Springsteen was the All-Britain senior two-year-old (2019). Because of Covid she was only shown once as a three-year-old winning her class two weeks fresh at the UK Dairy Expo 2020. She was the All-Britain five-year-old (2021), and Supreme Champion from the UK Dairy Day (2021).

Mark doesn’t hesitate to admit she is one of his favourites.

“Every Springsteen is good. Every one of them,” he said. “They are real hard to sell. I’ll usually sell anything, me, but cataloguing these ones was harder than usual. I think Springsteen is the kind of cow that would be right up amongst it at Madison.”

Six generations from 10 are classified EX95 or above. In the words of Bruce Springsteen himself, this family is “born to run”...

“She never gives you a bad look.” – Mark Nutsford

The legacy of a legend

In an era where great cows are often lost too soon, Tri-Day Ashlyn EX96-2E, proved to be the exception, not the rule… in everything.

In 2001 she won three coveted titles – Grand Champion at WDE, the RWF, and the All-World Champion.

While she packed a punch in the showring, it has been her brood cow status which has completed her fearsome resume of influence, and carried her name forward more than two decades later. Ashlyn is the all-time No.1 global transmitter for leaving the most (more than 70) Excellent daughters, which includes scores that roll all the way up to EX96.

The good news for the industry is that Ashlyn was housed and managed by intelligent cowmen and those hotels – combined with her natural reproductive might – gave her every chance to shine. One of the early believers in the Marcrest Encore daughter was Ernie Kueffner (Keuffner Holsteins & Jerseys). He bought her as a two-year-old with Oseeana Holsteins. He has had a hand in as many famous cows as anyone, and Ashlyn remains one of his two favourites.

“Ashlyn was our most successful and our most emotional venture,” Ernie told CrazyCow In Print in 2005. “She’s also one of my favourites because she bred on. If you go back through Madison’s grand champions, there is not a lot of that. Ashlyn protected a lot of bulls with her frame.”

Ashlyn was a Gold Medal Dam and a Dam of Merit. Her top production was 17,372kg, with a 5.0% butterfat and 3.3% protein.

ASHLYNS AT RIVERDANE

At Riverdane, the Ashlyn movement started when Mark and Sue (together with Sue’s father, Bill Nadin), bought a 10-day-old calf called SMIDDIEHILL DURM ASHLYN. Durm Ashlyn would win Intermediate Champion at the 2010 National Holstein Show, go on to score EX, amass 72 stars, and give the partnership one of Talent’s finest European daughters, RIVERDANE TALENTED ASHLYN EX94-4E 31*. The Ashlyn fire was lit and – just like the Olympic flame – it has never gone out.

In 2022, 15 two-year-olds classified max-score VG88 in Britain. One of them was RIVERDANE UNIX ASHLYN. Her third dam is Durm Ashlyn – making the Unix’s three nearest dams classified EX94, EX92, and EX94 respectively.

There are 24-head tabled for this sale. It’s the biggest family group to be included and shows the reproductive might of this family, and how much Riverdane respects it.

It’s tough to single out individual lots in a group this significant. However, Lot 71, RIVERDANE MISS FDL ASHLYN, a Lambda daughter from RIVERDANE DEMAN ASHLYN EX95, is one of the highest conformation heifers in the world at conf +15, mammary +12, and feet and legs +12. Her dam produced more than 13,000kg with a 5.2% butterfat and the next dam is RIVERDANE SEAVER ASHLYN EX94.

Mark says the family habitually tests high for components.

Owning an Ashlyn is almost an industry rite of passage, and a good one is never far off. Kick the goal.

RIVERDANE EX ROSABEL is the fourth EX97 Riverdane has been involved with, and the great granddaughter of global household name THRULANE JAMES ROSE EX97-2E-CAN 5*

Riverdane’s Mark Nutsford has chased the family since first seeing James Rose storm the biggest shows in North America between 2006 and 2009.

US cowman and judge Mike Deaver was the first to pull the trigger on her career despite rich company at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RWF) in Toronto in 2006.

At the time, Mike commented as he juggled the five-year-old’s promise against the reigning back-to-back champion, Quality BC Frantisco (who was 14 months fresh) and some other high profile expensive exponents of the breed.

“Well…the trick to this job is finding out how to get along with new friends and how to keep your old ones,” he said at the time.

He put her through to her first Grand Champion. In 2008 James Rose was Supreme Champion at both WDE and the RWF (she was also Grand Champion Holstein at the RWF in 2006, 2008, and 2009).

“For sure, she’s the best cow I’ve ever seen in my life,” Mark said. “And, I haven’t missed many Madisons in the last 25 years, I can promise you.”

Mark told Pierre Boulet that he “had to have embryos from her”. Although, the contract was signed, Rose never made them. Riverdane would secure embryos from James Rose’s Dundee daughter, which led [through a Goldwyn] to RIVERDANE EX ROSABEL-ET.

“James Rose wasn’t an accident. She was bred to be great. And, if you add Dundee x Goldwyn – a magic cross – and Explode, who was the No. 1 GTPI sire in America at the time (and who stayed up there for a long, long time), it brought us to this point where we’ve been able to breed an EX 97-point family matriarch at our farm with great milk and fertility.”

Ex Rosabel is nine years old with seven calvings and nine calves (courtesy of two sets of twins) behind her. She has a continuing lifetime production of 95,446kg of milk with a 4.5% fat percentage (May 2023). She has been a popular addition in Riverdane’s show team her entire career.

It’s also no accident that several of her descendants sell. Get in on the healthy obsession with Rosabel’s family.

GENOMICS AND PEDIGREE

When you start talking heavy-hitting global families with head-turning genomics, Riverdane KD Hannah is a juggernaut in the making.

Born in September 2022, Hannah is backed by not one, but THREE GLOBAL COWS OF THE YEAR (2020, 2019, and 2005) – going back to her foundation (and 10th) dam who needs no introduction: Snow-N Denises Dellia, EX95.

There are 11 generations of VG or EX in this pedigree –culminating with two EX94-point cows in Hannah’s dam and granddam, and an EX95 in Dellia. If a pedigree laden with generation-upon-generation of transmissible proof doesn’t immediately draw you in, the numbers certainly will.

Hannah is the the No 1 female (>2926 GTPI & >3.22 PTAT) in the UK (4th in Europe).

She is also the highest GTPI daughter in the world from SIEMERS LBA HANINA 28047 EX94-2E.

And, what’s more – she’s pretty.

One of the most complete genomic packages ever offered in

HAS THE WORLD AT HER FEET…

RIVERDANE KD HANNAH ET

KEEPING THE GLOBAL COW OF THE YEAR IN THE FAMILY

The ripple effect of this family is more like a Tsumani. One of the official judges on the 2020 Global Cow of the Year selection panel, Roger Turner, summarised that year’s champion – Cookiecutter MOG Hanker EX94-2E (96-MS) – who is Hannah’s third dam, to Holstein International:

“She’s [Hanker] a ninth generation VG or EX, a high score of EX94, and she traces back to the first Global Cow winner in 2005, Dellia,” Roger said at the time. “Her dam, Halo, was the Global Cow in 2019, and Hanker has already provided daughters that are transmitting high production and classification and have the ability to transfer high genomics to the next generations.

“With the global use of her offspring her genetics will have a global impact.”

It’s worth noting Roger placed Hanker’s maternal sisters that year in second and third within his personal choices [Cookiecutter Ssire Has and Cookiecutter Epic Hazel].

HANNAH’S LINK TO “HALO AND DOC”

Hannah’s fourth dam (and the 2019 Global Cow of the Year), Cookiecutter MOM Halo has written her own memoirs with 18 sons in AI, 21 daughters classified EX and more than 51 daughters classified VG.

Halo is also notably the third dam of S-S-I Doc Have Not 8784-ET EX94 @ 4.8YRS, who sold for US$1.925million in June 2022. Have Not 8784 has already entered the haloed territory of being addressed by her household name “Doc”, and she’s in the hunt for WDE 2023 as a four-year-old.

Halo was nominated for Holstein International’s Global Cow of the Year Award three times (you cannot enter again once you have won it), winning it in 2019, and she was also named the New York Holstein Association’s Cow of the Century in 2020 for her owners and breeders, Cookiecutter Holsteins (housed at Ideal Dairy Farms, which is owned and operated by the Dickinson, Getty and Grimaldi families) in Hudson Falls, New York. At the time, John and Denise Dickinson described Halo as their “once-in-alife cow”.

“She was our Alpha cow – with a fire in her belly, a competitive nature, and a personality all of her own,” they said. “Halo competed alongside her herd mates with no preferential treatment and was a tremendous cow who has made a positive impact on the Holstein breed.”

In short, Lot 90 is what exciting looks like.

Not too far into this pedigree lies a solid reason for its serious success – its maternal line includes Picston Shottle’s dam.

In recent years this family has been headed up by RIVERDANE BRADY SHARON EX96, but there’s no question that her VG893YRS Chief daughter – who sells – has the potential to close in that mantle.

Brady Sharon has been a crowd favourite at Riverdane since she first won Champion Super Heifer at Agriscot in 2018. She’s been nominated All-Britain every lactation, and she was Reserve AllBritain Mature Cow In-Milk in 2022. She also turns up every day at the parlour – finishing her last lactation with more than 14,000kg of milk (4.3% fat). Add that to the news that Brady Sharon’s nineyear-old EX95-4E 18-star Explode dam is still milking in Riverdane’s

An exciting July 2021-born Regancrest Boom in-calf heifer from Brady Sharon also sells, in addition to an August 2022-born Siemers Have It All maternal sister to Brady Sharon and Diamonds Sharon EX92.

An October 2020-born freshly calved Brady will also sell from Riverdane Diamonds Sharon.

Mark says the Chief is the kind of young cow every dairyman can like.

“She’s got everything,” Mark said. “She’s not too big, she’s got a boxcar rump, a smoking udder, and her width and balance also makes her an everyday farmer’s cow. Her whole career is in front of her, and she’s from the same family as Shottle [eighth dam: Condon Aero Sharon EX91-2E 90 stars].

“For me, Shottle is the greatest sire of all time. He has more EX daughters than any other bull in the history of the breed. And, he’s second to Goldwyn for the highest percentage of EX daughters.”

There is no guesswork in this pedigree. Buy with confidence.

When balance, style and runs on the board is important…

ROXY CONTINUES TO ROCK…

Only a few cow families continue to survive and thrive in a rapidly evolving international market. GLENRIDGE CITATION ROXY EX97 GMD 6* is one of them.

From being an almost non-starter in 1958 to today’s global appeal, Roxy is the undisputed “Queen of the Breed I and II” and the “Cow of the Century”. Roxys continue to shine in the show ring, sires from the family are achieving top genomic rankings, and family members have never been more marketable at auction. It’s unusual to pick up a catalogue from a top sale without finding a maternal line that traces back to Roxy. And, so it is for the Theatre of Dreams sale.

Roxy has touched every corner of the Holstein world –adding style, power, and longevity. While her Red factor almost resulted in her not being born, today it is that same Red factor – re-introduced through Triple Threat – which is having arguably the greatest impact on Roxy’s legacy…
