Big Gospell

With Big Gospell we present a new unique breeding bull! What makes Big Gospell unique? That is primarily his lineage with Big Spell (Bertil x Ramos) as his father, the high levels of sire that was also bred by the Knoef family but unfortunately has been too short available. If we look at the dam of Big Gospell, Big Anecy 1, she is perhaps an exemplary cow for the current wishes of Holstein breeding, medium build but was registered as an excellent cow and becomes better in production every year. She underlines this in her fifth lactation with a predicted 305 days production of 14.527 kg milk with 4.93% fat and 3.74% protein, good for an 124+ lactation value. We certainly expect the qualities of a good maturity rate and a steady climb in every lactation from the Big Gospell daughters. Now if we go back to the family line of  Big gospell he has a Solero mother and she comes from a Janos grandmother. That is why we find in Big Gospell an outcross bull. In addition, Big Gospell has the unique 651 aAa code wich is much needed in the current Holstein population. Big Gospell debuts with a nice production index for both milk and contents. His milk inheritance is still on the safe side but if the late maturity  does come true, we expect that this can increase a bit. With a lot heifers already in production, the reliability of its production breeding value is already high. The youthful and late-mature Big Gospell heifers show a lot of quality, are medium-sized and are not always the heaviest heifers at the beginning of their first lactation. However, the balance in the skeleton between milking type and strength is excellent. The udders are very good only the teat length tends towards the shorter side. In feet and legs, the Big Gospell daughters show a perfect side view, foot angle and the use of the legs are all well taken care of. For its daughter management traits temperament and milking speed, Big Gospell scores on average only for calving ease, Big Gospell scores below average so that he is not recommended as a stirks bull. Udder health is very good, fertility and hoof health are also nice positive breeding values that give Big Gospell a fast start on his proven bull debut!
