Oakroyal Asterix Papoose 14

The jet black Picston Shottle son is from an EX91 Durham and offers both high type (+2.19 TM) and excellent fitness traits –11 cell count, +0.1 lifespan and +1.9 fertility index.

Despite a show winning pedigree, the British-born bull is well suited to all UK dairy systems, breeding deep, open-ribbed heifers with snugly attached wide udders that have incredible veination, texture and a strong central ligament.

Daughters’ rumps have a text-book slope from hook to pin, giving them an ideal leg set. With exceptional locomotion, they move freely and easily, which makes life easy – particularly when cows are being turned out to grass.

Granddam, Tri-Day Ashlyn EX96, was a world-class show cow who won many accolades including Supreme Champion at the World Dairy Expo and Royal Winter Fair in 2001. She was also voted the all time All-American four-year-old cow and the all time All-American three-year-old cow by the influential breed publication, Holstein International.

Dairy farmer David Vooght from Newton Abbot, milks 150 cows and is delighted with his black Asterix daughter: “She is a really smart sort with a superb udder. She held in-calf first time, is trouble-free and most definitely an improvement on her VG dam.

“Peaking at 38 litres, she is now giving a notable 32 litres and being so pleased, I have recently ordered more semen,” added David.
