The first ROUMARE calf in UK |
This exciting early Roumare daughter from the Skyhigh Ivory Mandel VG89 family was
the result from the purchase of embryos from Jim Morrison’s Inch herd of pedigree
Holsteins, Downpatrick.
Christopher stated “my aim is to select, breed and develop great Holstein families
for the future improvement of Slieveroe Holsteins. Special individuals like Roumare
Ivory are definitely a great foundation !”
Skyhigh Ivory Mandel VG89 is the 10th generation of EX or VG cows and is from the
same family as Robthom Integrity EX96. She has three Excellent and 10 Very Good
daughters with her first EX91 daughter achieving 14,999kgs at 4.25% butterfat and
3.26% protein.
“Roumare is a fantastic sire and very suited for UK herds, not only can he transmit
high production with high fat and protein but also cattle with great legs and feet
and udders. We have complete confidence in the bull and have flushed our top cows
to this international sire of sons” said Jim Morrison, Inch Genetics.
