The favourable protein variants A2A2 and BB and the high protein percentages are perhaps the most striking traits offered by Conan (Casino x Boss x Jose). This powerfully built, broad bull was born in Germany. The first three generations of his family are exclusively German bulls, while further back bulls bred in the USA dominate.
Conan’s sire Casino is one of the German bulls in his pedigree. This Charley son has A2A2 for beta casein and produces average to lightweight calves at birth. He also passes on high milk production with almost neutral components. In addition, he transmits very balanced conformation and can justifiably be labelled excellent for health traits.
Conan's maternal line consists of robust cows with super production performances. For generations, they have given excellent milk production with good components. The most recent generations have also produced very high component percentages which, however, have not compromised milk production. Conan’s dam Marita 71 certainly stands out in that respect. She noted an impressive second list of 594 kg fat and 543 kg protein (in 305 days).
