A Prince Edward Island Milking Shorthorn cow, Oceanbrae Fawn’s Accent-P EX-94, has set a new Canadian breed record for 305 day fat production, breaking her own record set last year!
In third lactation, Accent-P produced 707 kgs of fat in 305 days at an astonishing 7.8% fat. She also produced 9078 kgs of milk and 309 kgs of protein, with BCAs of 317-615-332. This eclipses the all time record of 696 kgs F that she set in second lactation.
Accent-P is owned by Oceanbrae Farms of Belmont, Prince Edward Island. She was bred by the Kulp family of Pennsylvania, as she is the result of embryos from Rovin Derek Ali Accent-P by Bar-D Krause’s Fawn’s CD.
With this new all-time record, Accent-P also becomes the All Time Fat Champion for Four Year Olds. Two other cows also set new Fat records for their respective age groups:
- Koopycrest Logic Ali Anne VG-87 established a new 305 day fat record for Milking Yearlings with 407 kgs F (5.0%). Anne also produced 8188 kgs M and 267 kgs P in her first lactation. She is bred and owned by Shawn Koopmans of Picton, ON. “Anne” was also Hon. Mention at the 2014 National Milking Shorthorn Show this past September.
- Oceanbrae Jurist Thyme VG-88 established a new 305 day fat record for Five Year Olds with 508 kgs F (5.2%). Thyme also produced 9823 kgs M and 328 kgs P. She is bred and owned by Oceanbrae Farms of Belmont, PEI.
These cows are great examples of the excellence in production and type that modern Milking Shorthorns can achieve!
