Henny van de Blomsteeg

Henny van de Blomsteeg has a very famous maternal pedigree. His dam is a full sister of two well known bulls, namely Japio and Arnold van de Blomsteeg. Both bulls are successfully used as sires and score well for calving ease. His grand dam is Clarisse 21, a cow with a great track record in BB beef on dairy breeding. His dam was sired by Jaap van de Phaenocryst, a name we regularly come across in various bloodlines, including van de Plashoeve. His sire is Hybride van de Catenies. This bull has been very widely used and with the births of more than 19,000 calves has extremely reliable scores for calving ease. 

The expectations for Henny are good and, in fact, better than his sire as he is expected to have a shorter gestation time. Henny rates 4 out of 5 stars for calving ease.
