New Black-and-white genomics test bull: componen specialist without mistakes
The Willem's-Hoeve Rita family is a famous cowfamily with great results. Many successful cows and bulls stem from this family. K.I. Kampen is testing Willem's-Hoeve Ranx (Hanx P x Launch PP), a bull that combines the best of this Dutch cow family with an American progeny-proven sire.
Sire Siemers Hanan Hanx P (Hanans x Luster P) is a daughter-proven bull from the US who produces very vital calves that are born easily. In addition, he produces tall, heavy daughters with a higher than average milking speed and a good temperament. Dam's sire Launch PP is known for producing wide, strong daughters with super legs and high components.
The Willem's-Hoeve Rita family is no stranger to K.I. Kampen. Wim de Jong of the Willem's-Hoeve talks enthusiastically about this cow family: "The Rita’s are fantastic working cows that generally show a lot of youth and perform well in the barn. This is also reflected in the Launch daughters. It's a very nice line. Dam Rita 2766 (VG87) is doing very well, just like her full sisters. They are not too tall. We milk 200 cows and then it is very nice if you have little work per animal. That's why we're so pleased with the Rita 2766 and her full sisters." Their dam is Willem's-Hoeve Rita 2340 (s. Martin, VG86). She is the dam of KIK Dumfries and the full sister of Willem’s-Hoeve Steyr. Her frame was fantastic and her udder was downright good. She also produced excellently. 
The genomic breeding value of Ranx is particularly striking because it does not stand out. The levels are of a high level. A small point of attention that can be taken into account in mating is the rump angle. For the rest, Ranx has a genomic breeding value that can be called desirable in all parts. The contents (+0.59% fat and +0.26% protein) stand out particularly positively. Finally, Ranx is A2A2 and BB. Willem's-Hoeve Ranx is the perfect choice for the subtle improvement of your herd.
