Koepon Arnie

Topgenomics with a living over 95.000 kgm dam? Koepon Arnie! A cowfamily has to distinguish in production, type and costprice. The genomic breeding value of a young bull should be without mistakes and should show the performance of the cowfamily. Koepon Arnie (Wake Up x Altaspring, aAa 324) is a perfect example of this way of selecting. The dam of Arnie produces super. She can make it to the 100.000 kgm in five lactations. And she easily adapts. In the year Koepon farm changed to robot milking she did way better than her herdmates. And she is A90, while being not tall. “She is very persistent, that’s why we wait with ai ing her.” Says Alex Borst from Koepon Holsteins. “Her dam was a Doorman. She had an accident at 71.000 kgm. Just before she would be classified again. She was definitely worth more than B+84.” Her dam is a 10.000 kg fat and protein Snowmandaughter. She still has a super type.” Sire of Arnie is Wake Up. He is a high component sire. It is interesting to see Arnie still has the production genetics of his cowfamily. The rest of his genomics profile shows a good type and high longevity. Another very interesting trait is his persistency figure. Milking speed is something to pay attention to. Arnie is a very good bull. His stature is average, he has a wide chest and an open and deep rib. The rump structure is very correct. Arnie has super locomotion. This is a great opportunity to add some Classy genetics to your herd.
