Diepenhoek Combat

Diepenhoek Combat (Calvin x Balisto x Beacon) is a perfect example of the international character of today's breeding scene. He was bred in the Netherlands, descends from the American Cosmopolitan family and was sired by top German bull Calvin. His pedigree is known for good conformation and high milk production, with high levels of protein - in terms of both percentages and kilograms. And Combat even offers the most favoured protein variants: A2A2 and BB.

Combat's sire Calvin has a reputation of passing on extremely good production: milk in abundance and many kilos of fat and protein. This calving ease bull transmits all-round conformation and his highlights are udders (with slightly longer teats) and legs. He also scores exceedingly well for health traits and longevity.

Dairy cows from the Cosmopolitan family, which features in Combat's maternal line, are milked all over the world. And to the immense satisfaction of farmers. The cows from this line almost always have very good conformation and Combat can boast seven generations of VG or EX cows. Perhaps even more striking is the high protein levels of members of the Cosmopolitan family. This trait is shared by Combat's dam and grand dam. Both cows have protein percentages above 3.80% . They also produce worthy offspring. His grand dam Chrissy is dam to the red-carrier bull Checkmate RF, among others. Dam Chanel has already produced other good breeding bulls, for example Diepenhoek Thrill and Diepenhoek Citadel and several daughters by sires such as Adorable and Sound System. The amazing global reputation of the Cosmopolitan family is proven by Chanel's great-granddaughter Gladius Cherise, who was sold in 2022 for €67,000.
