High components: for many dairy farmers this is one of the main criteria taken into account when selecting a bull. Kapittelshof Stradlin (Slash x G-Force x Cortez) is a bull who guarantees high component percentages. With a maternal line that has 5% fat and 4% protein embedded as standard, and a bull known to transmit super components as a sire (Slash), Stradlin has all the ingredients to become an outstanding transmitter of high components.
As already been mentioned, Stradlin’s sire Slash is recognised as a very good component transmitter, combined with great scores for milk. But Slash has a whole lot more to his name. With his aAa code of 153, A2A2 and BB for the both caseins and calving ease, Slash offers a host of extra interesting traits. Furthermore, his medium statured daughters have plenty of width, good udders and very good legs.
It is rare to come across a cow family that excels so well in components as Stradlin’s maternal line. Both Stradlin’s dam and grand dam produce milk with more than 5% fat and 4% protein. The generations a little further back do not quite achieve these percentages, but come pretty close. Combined with good production, the result is high lactation values. The conformation of the Ellys is also worth mentioning. The two Epochal daughters produced by Elly 390 (half sisters of Stradlin) are fine examples and both score high lactation values and merit 87 points.
