Budjon Farms in Lomira home. Tom Cull and his partners always admired the Debutante branch of the Roxy family and chose the *TV non-red carrier as she was a nice, straight lined heifer; one that would fit right in at her new home. This Goldwyn daughter calved two years ago in July and scored VG-88 with EX-MS. The group decided that her marketing potential lied in her live calves and thus, she underwent IVF, resulting in 22 calves. Some of those calves were sold in sales this spring and the remaining were split, with each partner retaining four calves. One daughter sold at the Milk Source Main Event sale for $7,800 and the top selling Dana Rae daughter brought $10,800 in the Crown Jewel sale. At that same time, Budjon Farms, Joel Kietzman and Clark Woodmansee bought out the Milk Source Genetics share of Dana Rae. According to Tom, Dana Rae fits quite nicely into the Budjon marketing plan as a high type full sister to Destry *RC and a Goldwyn with a deep pedigree. Although she hasn’t been shown yet, she is just fresh again and could be very competitive in the show ring this year. In addition, all of her calves are very uniform individuals that look even better than she did as a heifer. While the Dana Rae partners are hopeful for show ring success this year, she will be bred back again to allow her great type potential to develop with yet another calf. These four Debutante daughters are just a brief look at how the Debutante branch of the Roxy family has elevated itself to one of the premier branches of the Roxy family. The ability to offer index and type in both black and white and red and white genetics has brought unlimited marketing potential to Debutante offspring.
