About Big Macht

Big Macht (Malki x Brawler x Gibor) is bull worthy of his name - which translates to “Power”. This Malki son certainly packs a punch, both for his conformation (a well-developed bull, with good feet and legs) and his pedigree. Sired by Malki and from a maternal line whose progeny include Snowman - a widely used bull sire internationally - his pedigree credentials are impeccable.

 

Over the years Malki, Macht's sire and like him bred by the Knoef family from Geesteren, has proven to be a bull that gives uniform, consistent results. His attractive, late-maturing daughters have very good udders and legs and include a high number of offspring ranked excellent. This is demonstrated by the progeny groups of Malki, who have been displayed in the show ring over the years. Malki is particularly good as a bull to correct too narrow, open cows (also thanks to his aAa code of 165).

 

Macht's maternal pedigree- the Elsie family - is an exceptionally productive, successful line. One of the highlights of this family is the very successful and widely used bull sire worldwide Snowman. His dam, BW Marhall daughter Elsa (EX 90), is the great grand dam of Macht. Boasting successive scores of 90 x 89 x 92 x 90 x 91 for overall conformation, Snowman's performance comes as no surprise. Through a full sister of Snowman (Elsie 3, VG 86) and Gibor-daughter Elsie 2 (VG 86) we finally arrive at Elsie 7, Macht's dam. This 89-point Brawler daughter has been flushed a number of times, resulting in various good offspring. Among her lactating daughters is a full sister of Macht, a Big Spell and two daughters by Jetset. Each one is a productive cow with wonderful conformation (all scoring at least 85 points).
