A powerful symbol of everything that is right with Canadian Holsteins, Belfast M Goldwyn Shelly is more than a pretty face. She scored
VG-87 as a two-year-old and went on to score EX-92 at seven-years-old while also being recognized for two Superior Lactations.
Shelly is one of only two Goldwyn daughters with 15 or more stars, proving her ability to transmit her exceptional qualities. Her numerous offspring are spread all around the world helping to put her stamp on the Holstein breed. 35 of her first 45 milking daughters are scored
VG as two-year-olds, and even more impressive is the fact that they are sired by 14 different sires. The influence of this impressive Goldwyn daughter is also shown through her male offspring. Shelly has sons in AI units in different parts of the world, as well as here in Canada.
To say she is a prolific embryo producer would be an understatement. To date, Shelly has produced 285 viable embryos, and demand for her genetics internationally has led to the export of over 100 of her embryos to five different countries.
Envisioning the ultimate reflection of all qualities Canadian Holstein breeders seek in a cow, the mirror would be placed in front of Belfast Goldwyn M Shelly. She exemplifies what Canadian Holsteins show the world – style, strength and profitability.
