American Rhys Red

The red Holstein American Rhys (Ryder x Radiator x Malcolm) is an imposing bull. He matches his own correct conformation with an awesome pedigree. A line that combines good milk production, including high protein percentages, and very good conformation with interesting bloodlines. He offers a striking blend of top genetics from the black-and-white and red-and-white populations. All this wrapped up in a cow family that has made good progress in recent years.

The cows referred to here are from the Karina line. They have scored VG for conformation for generations and have a great urge to produce. A high protein percentage is guaranteed. Every year, this cow family delivers outstanding, new animals, in both the female and male lines. Karina 15, who is both the great grand dam of Rhys and the great grand dam of Ziggy, is a wonderful example. Sired by Try, and registered with 88 points, she is not only the dam of Karina 63 (VG 87), Karina 64 (VG 86) and Karina 67 (VG 86), but also the dam of breeding bulls Carnival and Silverstone.

Ryder, Rhys' sire, also descends from an equally successful cow family. He is one of several full-brothers, including Ranger, who are high scorers at various KI organisations. Ryder will pass on plenty of milk, which makes a winning combination with the component-rich Karina-line, and very good, all-round conformation. The udders are super quality with the sought-after longer teats.
