TC Sanchez Kristina, pictured here at the 2016 WDE, is newly scored EX96.

Eaton Holsteins, Marietta, NY is pleased to share the news that TC Sanchez Kristina, owned with Roll-N-View Farms, Nunda, NY, has been confirmed by the Holstein USA classification committee at EX96. 

Aaron Eaton of Eaton Holsteins comments “She’s an absolute pleasure to work with day in and day out, she never has a bad day, makes 45,000 with ease, and 12,000scc” 

TC Sanchez Kristina has seen a great deal of showring success, including being nominated All-American Aged Cow, as well as garnering Reserve Junior All-American Aged Cow honors. At the 2016 World Dairy Expo, Kristina was the 2nd place Aged Cow in both the open and junior shows, and was named HM Senior Champion in the Junior Show. In addition, she won the Aged Cow class at the Northeast Fall National Show.

Kristina is a Sanchez daughter out of an EX92-4E Terrason, followed by a VG85 Rudolph. She was bred by Jeffrey Bolton, Peterborough, ON.  Congratulations to everyone who has played a part in Kristina’s story of accomplishments.

Brune EBH scored EX-95 with an EX-97 Mammary.

France has a new EX-95 point cow and her name is Brune EBH. The Shottle-Blitz daughter is owned by Gaec Besson and is a 6^th lactation 10-year-old tracing back to the Plushanski Chief Faith family. ABrune is also the dam of the daughter-proven sire Farmoy EBH by Man-O-Man, and Brune has also been successful in the show-ring too – in November she was Grand Champion of the Tech Livestock show.

Highlights from the October classification data for France reveals that the highest scored cow at EX-94 was the 8^th lactation Brittany (Shottle-Lys Jabot), who also scored EX-97 for mammary and EX-96 for legs and feet. The oldest cow scored was Stella EX-92 (Shark-Lee) who is in her 11^th lactation and has produced over 130,000kg milk. On the flip side, the top-scoring young cows included 3 VG-87 2-year-olds by Caliber, Glauco and Iota.

Canadian Holstein history was made yesterday, as world-class sire Braedale Goldwyn, has accomplished what no bull has ever done before. Yesterday on a visit to Abbylane Holstein, the farm of Albert Fledderus, ABBYLAYNE GOLDWYN SARITA scored  EX-90-CAN making her the landmark 3,000th Goldwyn daughter to score EX, that is less than 3 years since his 2,000th daughter was scored!

To say Goldwyn’s milestones are fantastic is an understatement – they are, in fact, incredible as the sire with the next highest number of EX daughters is Comestar Outside with 995! What an amazing Canadian Holstein record and congratulations to Semex on this milestone!

Sheeknoll Durham Arrow otherwise known as “Thomas” is the newest EX-96 point cow of the Holstein breed.  She captured the attention and the hearts of the dairy industry when she was named Grand Champion of the International Holstein show in October at World Dairy Expo.  She is bred and owned by Sheeknoll Farms, the Sheehans of Rochester, Minnesota. Read more about “Thomas” here

Budon farms is pleased to announce their newest 95 Point Cow, Petitclerc Sid Sunkiss. See her and the other Budjon Show string ladies next week in Toronto! Congratulations and Thank you to everyone involved with Sunkiss.

Sunkiss was purchased by the Sunkiss Syndicate (Budjon, Peter Vail, Golden Oaks, Doug Lemke, Mike & Linda Hellenbrand and Justin Powell) in last spring’s Define Your Destiny Sale, where she commanded the top price of the sale, selling for $150,000.  Sunkiss has been the Reserve All-American & Reserve All-Canadian Junior 2 Year Old in 2013, as well as capturing HM All-American honors as a 4 Year Old in 2015.  Sunkiss is a Sid daughter from a VG87 Goldwyn out of a VG88 Jasper, followed by an EX-2E Triumphant. She was bred by the Master Breeder Ferme Petitclerc, QC.
