For Friesian breeders who are looking for fresh blood, a solid bull, and a pedigree with high lifetime production, K.I. Kampen has an exciting new option: Jetze 21 (Jetze 16 x Bouwe 7 x Martin 20). Jetze 21 is a wide, strong bull with excellent legs and super locomotion. With a good rump and a fine temperament, he is an ideal new ambassador for the Friesian breed in every respect.

Jetze 21's dam is Jet 190. She is a sixth-calver Bouwe 7 daughter, owned by Mts. W. & S. Van Dam-Faber from Wyns. What immediately stands out is her strength, her wide rump and chest and hercapacity in the rib to convert grass into milk.

In the first five lactations, she produced 38,864 kilograms of milk with 4.92% fat and 3.64% protein. Her breeder, Wypkje van Dam, is very pleased with her: “She’s a true Friesian cow. She comes from a very functional family that that has the will to produce well. They produce milk from grass. We see this reflected in Jet 190. She’s a solid cow with a nice round rib and a wide chest. For an Friesian, she’s not small, but certainly not tall either. She has a very functional udder with slightly longer teats. It’s a family that perseveres. The family is becoming increasingly dominant on our farm. Friesians are very fertile, easy to manage cows. Jet 190, along with her dam and granddam, demonstrate and have demonstrated this wonderfully on our farm.” Jet 190 is in her sixth lactation and has a predicted 305-day lactation of 9,003 kilograms of milk with 5.63% fat and 3.72% protein.

Jet 190's dam is Jet 162 (by Martin 20). She achieved a lifetime production of 80,398 kilograms of milk with 4.72% fat and 3.76% protein. Three of our own bulls were used from this cow because she was highly functional. Her sons passed this on as well. Her dam was Jet 141. In her lifetime, she produced 100,086 kilograms of milk with 4.25% fat and 3.76% protein. She, too, was a great example of functionality. "Cows here simply have to deliver on the farm. They have to do their own thing, produce well, and get calf again quickly. The Jet family does that. For us, this is how Friesian cows should be and perform," Wypkje concludes.

Sire of Jetze 21 is Jetze 16 (s. Sytse P 2). He also comes from the Jet family. He was a studbull and therefore had little impact on the overall Friesian population. His daughters are now almost all heifers and inherit the same black color as Jetze 21 from their sire. Jetze 16's sire is Sytse P 2. His oldest daughters are in their fourth lactation and continue to increase their production every lactation. They all produce more kgs fat and protein as their herdmates under the same conditions.

Jetze 21 has all the potential to become a valuable new bull within the Friesian breed. He could also be a very good choice for farmers who want to milk from grass and have other breeds. For example in a three way cross.

Jetze 21 is sexed available.
