About Kooistra Holst. Prayer

Prayer is a well-developed, powerful bull with a wide rump and good legs. He combines two influential American cow families. The multiple bull sire Prada (Paris family) is this time combined with the well-known Cinderella line, originally the family of Queen of the Breed Roxy EX-97. Around the turn of the century, embryos were imported and developed further under the name Cinderella at Giessen Holsteins. Bulls such as Cinderdoor, Control and Utopia went to AI stations, and this family still proves to be very interesting today.

Giessen Cinderella 154 (s. Rubicon), the dam of Prayer, records a lifetime production of more than 60,000 kg with 5.28% fat and 3.94% protein. Afterwards she is still used as a brood cow and has already produced many embryos.

Further along this line we see similar productions, components and breeding strength. Remarkable is the low somatic cell count throughout the entire line. In addition, the Cinderella/Roxy line shows 14 consecutive generations classified between 87 and 97 points for overall conformation.
