First EX-96 Cow for Ferme de la Plaine Holsteins

Ferme de la Plaine Holsteins recently hosted the classifier, and the results are amazing. Delaplaine AltaSuplex Shipping, the farm’s first EX-96 cow, made it a “day to remember for a long time.” Shipping combines the best of both worlds, as she has excellent show type (placing second in the production cow class at the Quebec Holstein Spring Show in 2023) and a lifetime record of over 100,000 kg. Congratulations to the Ferme de la Plaine Holsteins team!

Riverdane Ex Rosabel – Bred to Be Great

Riverdane Holsteins have now been involved in four EX97 classifications – including their latest and first homebred individual – a great granddaughter of global household name Thrulane James Rose EX97-2E-CAN 3*.

The classification result comes as her UK breeders, Mark and Susan Nutsford, along with their daughter, Jodie, start turning their attention towards their “Theatre of Dreams” sale in northwest England on Saturday, August 19.

Riverdane milk 200-head (and run 650 in total, including young stock), in addition to Celltech Embryo Transfer in the heart of Cheshire, 20 miles out of Manchester. They milk 100 of their high-production Holsteins through two robots, with the balance being milked through a 20/20 herringbone parlour. They farm 182 hectares (450 acres, mostly grass, maize and whole crop wheat). They have also been a part of a fourth EX97, who now calls Willsbro Holsteins home.

Riverdane Holsteins will sell 150 lots along with select embryo packages at their farm on August 19. This is the first time a public offering of this size has been offered from Riverdane and it has been packaged in a two-day event that promises to bring the European industry together.

EX ROSABEL is nine years old with seven calvings and nine calves (courtesy of two sets of twins) behind her. She has a continuing lifetime production of 95,446kg of milk with a 4.5% fat percentage (May 2023). Nominated as an All-Britain finalist as a two-year-old, EX ROSABEL has been a popular addition in Riverdane’s show team her entire career. Several of her descendants will sell on August 19 in an offering that will catalogue 150-head – the biggest offering Riverdane has ever put forward.

CHASING JAMES ROSE

US cowman Mike Deaver (pictured) was the judge who first elevated Thrulane James Rose to Grand Champion Holstein at the RWF in 2006. Photo: Dianna Malcolm.

Mark Nutsford said he had chased the family since first seeing James Rose storm the biggest shows in North America between 2006 and 2009.

= In 2008 Thrulane James Rose continued on to be Supreme Champion at both the World Dairy Expo (pictured) and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. The popular entry was also All-Canadian and All-American Mature Cow in 2008 and 2009. Photo: Dianna Malcolm.

Mark said James Rose’s udder was the first thing that drew him to her in 2006 when US cowman and judge Mike Deaver first pulled the trigger on her career despite rich company at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RWF) in Toronto.

At the time, Mike commented as he juggled the five-year-old’s promise against the reigning back-to-back champion, Quality BC Frantisco (who was 14 months fresh) and some other high profile expensive exponents of the breed that did not lighten the responsibility, nor the public pressure.

“Well…the trick to this job is finding how to get along with new friends and how to keep your old ones,” he told the crowd at the time.

“There is a lot of great cows out here and a lot of famous cows. It’s not easy, but I like pretty girls that look like they’re ready to work and don’t want to complain about it.”

Thrulane James Rose EX97-2E-CAN 3* (pictured at WDE in 2008) now has a great granddaughter who shares the same classification score. Photo: Dianna Malcolm.

With that, he put James Rose through to her first Grand Champion. At the time, she had passed from her Mennonite breeder (who was going to beef her because she wasn’t in calf) through Scott Brethet and Beni Faulmner (Mt Elgin Dairy Farms, Guelph) to Pierre Boulet, who took the chance on her being short-bred. A true rag to riches story.

In 2008 James Rose continued on to be Supreme Champion at both the World Dairy Expo (WDE) and the RWF (she was also Grand Champion Holstein at the RWF in 2006, 2008, and 2009). The year she took WDE’s Supreme title in 2008 she had to beat Quality-Ridge Stormi Hazel in a show which also included a record number of more than 2600 animals under judge Brian Carscadden (who walked 23km that day judging them).

HEALTHY OBSESSION

By the time Mark saw Rose again at the WDE in 2008, she had become his healthy obsession.

“For sure, she’s the best cow I’ve ever seen in my life,” Mark said. “And, I haven’t missed many Madisons in the last 25 years, I can promise you.

“I was literally blown away by her frame that year. You could have got a wheelbarrow between her front legs, you really could. I couldn’t believe a cow could develop so much in the two years since I first saw her. In 2006 I couldn’t believe how good her udder was, but once she came together with her frame, she was incredible.”

He told Pierre Boulet that year that he “had to have embryos from her”. Although, the contract was signed, Rose never made those embryos.

DETERMINED TO SUCCEED

However, Riverdane did secure eggs from James Rose’s Dundee daughter through Jamie Wood (Hays Genetics International, Ontario).

When Riverdane got an exciting Goldwyn daughter on the ground in the UK their “Rosabel” family was on the way. RIVERDANE GOLDEN ROSABEL-ET VG87 was only two points off being a max-scored two-year-old, and Mark remembers her as “a goodun”. However, after complications from a twisted caecum, they lost her on her second calf.

She did leave the chance of a legacy though – in her Explode daughter, RIVERDANE EX ROSABEL-ET.

EX ROSABEL’S sire stack is WABASH-WAY EXPLODE x GOLDWYN x DUNDEE x SHORMAR JAMES x COMESTAR LEE, x COMESTAR LEADER x PRELUDE.

It includes a double-up of Goldwyn, thanks to Goldwyn siring Shoremar James in addition to EX ROSEABEL’S dam.

Mark says what he loves about EX ROSABEL is her pedigree, and how that translates.

“ROSABEL has got very, very few faults, she’s so naturally open, dairy, clean-boned and she’s got that unusual combination of strength and silk. It starts at her muzzle, and it goes right the way through her,” he said.

THE PEDIGREE CONNUMDRUM

He says James Rose was born in a herd that classified only their two-year-olds. It explains the fifth and six dams’ GP classification scores, and James Rose’s ability to shine.

“I remember back in the day when the All-American and All-Canadian two-year-old was Dupasquier Starb Winnie,” Mark said. “She was 83 points when she won those titles. If you had a GP two-year-old then, it was a helluva good heifer. It puts those scores into perspective.”

Mark says knowing that, meant there were no surprises for him in this family’s achievement.

“I know greatness doesn’t come from nowhere. It’s always got to be in that pedigree. If you look at the sire stack, they were all geat sires every one of them, and all from good cow families.

“James Rose wasn’t an accident. She was bred to be great. And, if you add Dundee x Goldwyn – a magic cross – and Explode, who was the No. 1 GTPI sire in America at the time (and who stayed up there for a long, long time), it brought us to this point where we’ve been able to breed an EX 97-point family matriarch at our farm with great milk and fertility.”

The rest of Riverdane’s classification results will follow this story…

Fux Gold Chip Seattle now Classified EX-97 (GER)

Fux Gold Chip Seattle, sired by Gold Chip and owned by Hahn/Radke Holsteins has raised her score to EX-97 in Germany. She is the fourth cow in Germany who is classified with EX-97. Fux Seattle is the current Miss Schau der Besten and was also named as Senior Champion German Dairy Show 2019. Seattle her dam is DT Spottie EX-93-DE (s. Derry) – bred by Meppelink & Diamond Genetics and backed by the same family as the former #1 GTPI cow: Baviere VG-87-FR EX-90-MS.

International Red Superstar – Suard-Red Jordan Irène EX-97 Passes Away

International Superstar,  Swiss Red Holstein cow of recent decades, Suard-Red Jordan Irène EX-97, passed away at the age of almost 18. Irène was named Reserve Grand Champion, Best Udder and 1st Production cow at the 2019 Swiss Expo Red Holstein Show in Lausanne, Switzerland. She became the first Swiss Red Holstein to receive the maximum score in their current classification system and is currently the highest classified Red & White cow in Europe. 

Only at the beginning of the year did the “Swiss farmer” headline “Great honor for Jordan Irène” on the front page, when the exceptional cow bred by Pierre Suard from Progens FR placed directly behind KHW Regiment Apple EX 96 in the highest award ever given for red cows. Irene, who made her career on the farm of the brothers Damien and Frédéric Schrago in Middes FR, will go down in history as the all-time RH vice world champion.

Message on Monday Evening
“Irène leaves us a phenomenal legacy. We are sad today but we are also excited to continue developing her unique lineage. We invite you to follow us day after day this week. We are going to try to share with you the most striking memories, the events that made Irène the most famous cow of her generation all over the world!” – Scharago Dairy

Junker discovered them in the “middle ranks”
It was cattle dealer Erhard Junker from Iffwil BE who discovered the first cow, which was only classified G+83 at a Freiburg district exhibition, in the “middle ranks”, as he recently told the “Schweizer Bauer”, and sold it to the Schrago brothers. “When I saw Irène for the first time, I recognized her enormous potential,” said Junker and enthused: “Her udder was unique.”

Vice World Champion
Irène became world champion in 2016 and 2019 and crowned this success with the aforementioned vice world champion of all times. The magazine “Holstein International” awarded the so-called All-Time Red World Champion title. Not only the readers could decide on this title, but also three official judges. And the latter chose the following podium: 1st place for Irene, 2nd place for KHW Regiment Apple EX-96 (US), 3rd place for Blondin Redman Seisme EX-97 (US & CA). The Dutch judge Jan Steegink (Heerenbrink Holsteins) justified the victory of the now 17-year-old Irène as follows: “She has retained her qualities into old age, if not even improved them. Irène is ahead of Apple, my number two, because she has a better shaped pelvis.”

Of the reader votes, however, 42.7 percent went to Apple and 34.7 percent to Irene. This resulted in a tie between Apple and Irène. In the event of a tie, the votes of the readers decide who wins. And in this case it went to Apple.

Irene, O’Kalibra and Elisa
Irène achieved a lifetime production of 114,849 kg milk with 4.73% fat and 3.38% protein. She achieved her highest performance in her 6th lactation with 14,223 kg milk, 4.86% fat, 3.13% protein.

She first achieved the unique classification of EX 97 (EX 96 / EX 97 / EX 97 / EX 97) in 2018 in her 8th and last lactation, in July 2019 she was classified EX 97 for the second time. This made Irène one of three exceptional cows classified EX 97 in Switzerland, along with the Holstein cow Decrausaz Iron O’Kalibra EX 97 and the Brown Swiss cow Adrian’s Jongleur Elisa EX 97.

After her great show successes (including double European Champion Red Holstein von Freiburg 2013 and Colmar 2016), Irene also let it rip as a breeding cow. She proved her bull dam qualities with the Alchemy son ‘Red Impulse.’ According to her owners, she was always extremely good at rinsing embryos. “We sold embryos as far away as Australia.” Unfortunately, because Irène tested positive for the Schmallenberg virus, genetics could not be exported to Canada and the USA, Damien Schrago said recently.

Breeding work continues
According to Schrago, Irène’s descendants make up around a third of the 100-strong dairy herd. He had the impression that the granddaughters were even better than the daughters, he said at the beginning of the “Swiss farmer”. They had daughters under one year old by her in the stable. There are calves by Power, Delta Lambda, King Royal etc. Schragos mated Irene to a wide variety of fathers, and they even developed a Swiss Fleckvieh line from her. “Recently we flushed a granddaughter of Irene, a daughter of the SF bull Swat.” In the meantime, they are already working with promising calves in the fifth generation.
