Weggelhorster Kjell Red PP

Weggelhorster Combi Kjell PP (Kitami x Stentor x Ashburton) brings a marvellous, homozygous polled bull with a fabulous pedigree to K.I. Samen. He offers a radically different bloodline - certainly for the red-and-white segment - and descends from an extremely solid, previously unused cow family.

Kjell’s maternal line (the Willys) offers good conformation and traits including high protein percentages (five generations of VG cows all with over 3.50% protein). Durability is also a strong trait of the Willy line. For example, the three generations that proceeded Kjell's grand dam Willy 219 all realised lifetime production of almost 60,000 kg of milk. Partnered with high fat percentages (up to 5%) and protein percentages (3.90%), these cows have generated a nice income for their milk.

The same can also be expected from Kitami PP, Kjell's sire. His scores show high milk production with positive components. Red factor carrier Kitami PP is also known as a calving ease bull and has exemplary conformation. Udders (firmly attached and shallow) score highest in his conformation traits.
