Poppe Efrain

Poppe Efrain; at first sight not a real “Kampen” bull. After all, Ki Kampen’s breeding policy is committed to the high breeding values for contents. However, in breeding, to make suitable combinations, sometimes you need diversity in qualities of the bulls to make the desired progress. This is  also the reason that Poppe Efrain gets a place on the red & white Proven bull chart. Efrain’s  breeding values of contents are low but there are so many good qualities compared to what he lacks. This brings him high in the ranking on NVI. After the latest adjustments, Poppe Efrain breeding value for production became even higher than before, this is of course extremely high, so despite its low contents he still manages a great combined total of fat and protein which results in a great score for INET. In addition to extremely high milk inheritance, Efrain has many more  good qualities for example his conformation traits come with an excellent score for total type. The Efrain daughters are well developed with a good balance between stature, strength and body depth. On all these points he scores well above average. Striking is the openness of the ribs and for an extremely high productive bull the daughters maintain a good condition. About the udder, feet and legs we can be short, all around great resulting in high scores for udder and feet and legs. It should be noted that the rear teat placement is quite narrow, a point of attention for the robot milkers. For the health traits, Efrain shows breeding values around average. Temperament and milking speed are below average. The solid high-productive and sustainable Fienchen cow family of dairy farm Poppe is the strong base of Efrain’s qualities. His mother Danillo-daughter Fienchen 803 received the red factor from Stol Joc-daughter Fienchen 580 registered with AB89 she has already  realized a life production of more than 100,000 kg of milk. She comes through a Lightning and Konvoy daughter from Feebe Red, an EX 92 prized American breeding cow. There are certainly similarities between two of the best Dutch proven bulls Poppe Efrain and Drouner Rednex. They have the same outcross father for red Holstein breeding. Their father Red Rocks Effort an Allmau son from Snowman who descends from the Warsi cow family through a beautiful and strong Ramos daughter can certainly be called an outcross blood line. However, Rednex and Efrain have more similarities. Both bulls are carrier of the Kappa-Caseine B/B and have the same aAa code 345. Of course, there are also differences, especially in breeding values for production where Efrain is best used on cows that need that extra productive power
