Re: Oldest to classify ex


Thanks for the kind wishes. Broa, i appreciate the offer ,but unfortunately the good stuff would be wasted on me, may as well give me a shot of your cheapest. My tastes are very basic and i am sure i could not do your single malt justice. Back to the subject. I personally would cap 1st calvers at 86, 2nd at 88, 3rd at 90, 4th at 91 and 5 and up could go max, which i think is 97. Jersey mate told recently of a 2nd calver that went 91 or 92, i forget which , but blew her udder a few weeks later. Instances like that do not instil confidence in the breed or the class system, or the people doing the class.

Just think what kind of type proof convincer and emerson would have had if there were a system that didn´t classify until cows were 2 nd. calvers?

Congratulations Mooramba!

This is what I recently posted under Main Chat - High lifetime yields:

Last Friday a 17-year-old F16 was awarded for the production of 10 tonnes of F&P and classified EX as well. With this she now has all the awards that are available in Holland: HT (100 tonnes of milk), TT (10 tonnes of F&P), Star Cow 1, 2 and 3 (award for cows aged 9, 12 and 15 that on average have produced 5% above herd average and classify VG with a VG udder) and Star Brood Cow.

She is from the golden cross of F16 x Long-Haven Scotty!

I had a neighbor years back that had a Lime-Hollow Elevation Mars go EX the first time at 17 yrs and something. The classifier made her 100 in feet and legs and she sure deserved it. Walked beautifully with a great foot.

LHE Mars was always in the shadows of the other Mars: ME Tony. He did make some great frames and legs. Udders were just average in my herd, but they made some nice daughters.

My oldest cow to go EX that i remember was a Raider at 11-04.

Despite rescoring EX in all categories on her 7th lactation the rules then prevented her from 2E as she had been in milk more than 300 days.

Re:


 :US: Back in 1984 I was classifying for Holstein and I made a cow Ex 90 @ 19 years of age. I don't remember her pedigree, but it was the Thomas and Agnes Kane herd in NY state.
