A limited number of MRIJ bulls are used by K.I. SAMEN each year. This means the bar is set extremely high for any bulls we acquire. Our choice is naturally based on good production (including protein) and conformation traits, as well as an excellent pedigree. Proven breeding (breeding bulls) is also an advantage and the A2/A2 variant for beta-casein is essential. The impressive, German-bred bull Flynt (Constant x Matthes x Diman) has all these ingredients and also offers the quite rare aAa code 564.
Constant, Flynt’s sire, is a reliable breeding bull with the A2/A2 variant for beta-casein. This very balanced bull is considered to be a component champion and passes on super conformation. Constant can be relied on to give his offspring lovely frames (with good rumps), solid legs and good udders (with especially impressive rear udders).
The cow family that represents Flynt's maternal line has gilt-edged credentials. Successive generations of productive cows with good conformation and extremely low somatic cell counts. Flynt’s dam Felge was registered as a 3rd calf cow with 89 points, grand dam Felizitas with 87 points and great-grand dam Fella as a 9th calf cow with 86 points for overall conformation. They were all of a good age at the classifications which proves their longevity. In fact, all three generations are still in active service on the farm!
