Nilles van de Boterhuispolder

Nilles descends from a cow family of durable cows with a friendly character. He has produced many calves with an attractive coat pattern and that were calved easily. 

The lineage of his second dam Rosalinde 19 is the old Rosalinde family. This cow family traces its roots back to the 1970s at the Van Benthem breeding farm. Dam Rosalinde 20 (s. Gerard) is now a wonderful fourth calver. She combines the typical characteristics of her dam with the qualities of her sire. Gerard bred offspring with lots of late maturity and a generally flawless conformation. Cows with sufficient chest width, good space between the ribs, outstanding rumps and very sound, good quality legs. These traits give good calving ease and great fertility. 

Nilles was sired by Valks Noldes, a Harm van de Eikenhof son out of Valks Noldina bred by Mr Wijnne in Barneveld. This cow family branched out later to various farms across the Netherlands.

Nilles is a very interesting bull thanks to his stunning appearance, his sire’s inheritance pattern and the exceptional qualities of his dam and grand dam. His progeny are calved easily and show vitality, without white leg markings. 

Nilles is very similar to his dam in appearance. He was classified with 87 points for overall conformation with 88 points awarded by the herdbook for his belt. He is a youthful bull with good legs (slightly straighter) and a good skeletal structure.
