Adelgaard Desire (Hirts x Irwin x Hirse), a Danish-bred Jersey, is a bull with high component percentages, super conformation (including correct frames) and good longevity embedded in his pedigree. A small input of American Jersey genes can be found through his dam's sire Irwin. And with an aAa-code of 246, kappa-casein BB and beta-casein A2A2, Desire has even more interesting traits to offer.
Desire's sire Hirts also has the traits listed above (BB and A2A2). Moreover, he will certainly boost component percentages and scores very high for udder health. The conformation traits he passes on are correct udders and robust legs, while his scores for frame traits are also notable, with very good levels for both stature and width.
Exceptionally good conformation is also a feature in Desire's dam's line. Partnered with the good secondary traits of this pedigree line, these cows all have high longevity. Desire’s grand dam realised eight lactations, his great grand dam had nine and his great great grand dam noted five. Until present, dam Sadie has completed three milk yield records and, just like the three preceding generations, produces milk that contains more than 6% fat and more than 4% protein. The performances of the cows from this pedigree have not gone unnoticed by AI organisations. Various bulls from this cow family have carved out careers as AI bulls. K.I. SAMEN has already used two bulls from this line: Grandprix (a half-brother of Desire) and Collin.
