Decrausaz Iron O’Kalibra Passes Away


International dairy industry superstar, and one of the greatest show cows ever to come out of Europe,  Decrausaz Iron O’Kalibra EX97 has passed away.  There is no question O’Kalibra has left her mark on the global dairy industry with her immense dairy strength, impeccable udder and silky, nearly translucent, hide.  O-Kalibra was also the first cow in Switzerland to score EX-97. And more: She was a tremendous transmitter and had 2 sons go for AI – her Red Destry-son, O’Kalif, and her Acme-son. The ’13 & ’15 World Champion was simply one of the best ever – read more about her achievements in this feature article – DECRAUSAZ IRON O’KALIBRA: SIMPLY THE BEST

Decrausaz Iron O’Kalibra EX97

Born September 4, 2008, O’Kalibra was bred by Fredy Decrausaz and sons. She was later purchased by GS Alliance and Pat Conroy. Sired by Boss Iron, she is out of an  EX90-2E Integrity daughter, followed by a VG89 Milestone. O’Kalibra first captured the imagination of the international dairy community in 2011 when she was named the Honorable Mention Champion and Reserve Best Uddered Cow at the Swiss Expo in Lausanne, as well as garnering the Reserve Champion banner at the Expo Bulle. Then in 2012, she was named Supreme Champion Swiss Expo, a feat she repeated again in 2013. That year she was also selected as the Champion of the All-European Holstein Show.

We here at the Bullvine pass on our condolences to those who had the honor of working with this once-in-a-lifetime cow.  She has earned many fans the world over and will be missed by all.
