For a change, a bull from Belgium joins the ranks at K.I. SAMEN : Aiden Red (Adam x Malando x Tulip). Apart from his country of origin, he matches the profile of most of the ‘SAMEN' bulls. Aiden Red boasts a solid cow family characterised by good conformation and very good components. In addition, his pedigree contains reliable, proven breeding bulls, who rank among top of the class in their years.
One of these bulls is Aiden's sire Adam Red. This all-round calving ease bull has good scores for health traits and longevity. Adam has a good production index and transmits very good, practically flawless conformation. He also passes on average to slightly more curved legs (side view rear legs) and slightly longer teats.
Aiden's dam Bieke is exemplary of the red-and-white population. Her conformation traits can be summed up as plenty of power, good body condition, correct udders and legs. She produces component-rich milk and has already achieved high lifetime production. It's not surprising that Bieke has such fabulous conformation, as her dam Billie had equally good conformation, including sublime udders. Bieke is not only making a name for herself in the barn. She has won accolades at shows, including two provincial champion titles, and the next generation is following in her footsteps. Her oldest daughter Billie has already earned a champion title and her newly calved daughter Bieke 2 (a full sister of Aiden Red) is looking extremely promising.
