Endangered Species (Mate her!)
This is indeed a pure Holstein and will be one of maybe one or two that I actually will keep as pure Holstein.
She is a Super X Pronto X Finley X Diamond. I had her bred to McCutchen as a heifer but she had a twisted uterus at calving and we had to do a c-section to get a dead heifer calf out. So I'm not certain she'll even breed back but I'd take ideas for what to use on her. Udder might look a little light two weeks after c-section but I'm sure she's got the potential for lots of milk.
What I'm looking for:
1. Positive PL and DPR
2. Components. This family makes a ton of milk but it tends to be skim milk.
3. Low inbreeding. (Mambo is in charge of this!!!)
What I'm not looking for:
1. A show cow. But type is nice if the above is met!
2. Super high index. No need, there are no marketing aspirations with this family, just want to make a solid Holstein family.

Re: Endangered Species (Mate her!)
Massey for a proven sire-good components and high reliability, good udders.
Supersire-high fat and a Robust son-now that his daddy has a proof- a little more reliable.
Both at the top of their respective list, no matter what breed use those at the top

Re: Endangered Species (Mate her!)
That is a nice heifer u have it is a shame that she had some problems she looks a keeper..
I have a few bulls that have as much low inbreeding as I can find but some may have a double here and there but it would be far enough back and I have linebred them as best as I could.
K-Manor Bwsr Mercury
(Bowser x Oman/Oman x Shottle)
PL +6.2 DPR +2.1 DCE 5.9%
http://home.accelgen.com/catalog/semen-usa/014ho07141/english/k-manor-bwsr-mercury-et/
K-Manor Bowser Mickey
(Bowser x Shottle x BW Marshall)
PL +4.6 DPR +2.6 DCE 5.4%
http://www.accelgen.com/catalog/semen-usa/014ho06669/english/k-manor-bowser-mickey-et/
Pfaffs Bowser Corona
(Bowser x Bolton x Goldwyn)
PL +5.0 DPR +1.5 DCE 5.4%
http://transamericagenetics.com/en/fiche_h_usa.php?id=24
Co-Op Upd Planet Yano
(Planet x Bret x Manfred)
PL +6.8 DPR +1.2 DCE 5.7%
Co-Op Goldwyn Frank
(Goldwyn x Justice x Dane)
PL +3.5 DPR +0.90 DCE 3.8%
Co-Op Upd Goldwyn Floyd
(Goldwyn x Justice x Dane)
PL +3.40 DPR +0.5 DCE 4.6%
These two full brothers hail from Arlinda breeding and Floyd is a super looking individual.The link does not work for CRI so u will have to find them.
Coldsprings Ponder
(Buckeye x Justice x Patron)
PL +1.40 DPR +1.30 DCE 4.3%
http://abs-bs.absglobal.com/dairy/milk.asp?CodTouro=29HO13796
Matt-Dari Sharky Dayton
(Sharky x Outside x Rudoplh)
PL +1.6 DPR -0.1 DCE 7.4%

Re: Endangered Species (Mate her!)
I'll let Kingmambo figure out if the inbreeding works, but for daughter proven bulls check out Erdman and Kamik. For genomic maybe Uno or Predestined.

Re: Endangered Species (Mate her!)
I like your selections apart from Kamik being a Baxter would put me off but he does come from a great family.
I did not know about the other 2 they are great bulls Erdman has some fantastic blood behind him bulls like him make Genex one of the best studs.
Predestined 669 looks a super individual from a great family he looks a great bull for the future.
Uno looks like the bull with it all he would be my choice over the other two because he has more type altough my first choice would be Goldwyn Floyd on this heifer and then use Uno on that Floyd that could be a great cross.

Agree with Bazza. None better for combining fat percent improvement with stellar health traits. 97th percentile for Net Merit with over 1000 daughters in his production proof.

Re: Endangered Species (Mate her!)
Not sure if you can get him in the US, but Cogent Twist would be my suggestion.
He is very good on pl, has HUGE components and would not be too close pedigree wise. On the downside he is just a little below average for dpr.
Here is his proof:
Cogent Twist - UK proof
Note: his dpr score of -1.7 in the UK is on a scale of -15 to +15.

Re: Endangered Species (Mate her!)
Kings ransom erdman- combines planet, ramos with your heifer, great health traits and good milk- looks like she might need it, even though shes had a tough time!!
Should stay around for a few lactations!!!
Nice heifer, good luck..
