Olfert van de Houberg

Olfert adds another wonderful Dutch Belted bull to the range at K.I. Samen. He descends from a very famous cow family in the Netherlands. Olfert has a kinship coefficient of 0.88. He has already been used satisfactorily and produces good, alert calves that are calved easily and develop quickly. Olfert has interesting potential in a variety of mating selections. In view of his ancestry and calves, you can expect a slightly finer type of Dutch Belted. 

The Kittie family has proven itself on various farms with Dutch Belted cows and are known to be durable and strong with good fertility. On various farms, the fabulous cow family the Kitties has produced many offspring that have merited high herdbook classification scores (S and KS). Thanks to the excellent performance of this cow family, the Houberg farm is also recognised as a breeding centre by the Dutch rare breed association SZH. Olfert's dam Klara had an excellent breeding record on several farms. She had unique qualities and combined lots of balance and durability, and calved eight times. 

Klara was inseminated with one of the last straws from Odell, which resulted in Olfert. Only a very limited number of straws from Odell were exported to the Netherlands. He breeds good calves with fine markings and his offspring are good natured. The Dutch Belted breed is sometimes also used by dairy farmers, so we analysed Olfert using the aAa method and arrived at code 165.
