Welcome to the April 2018 Black & White Holstein daughter proven Sire line up which has

been carefully selected by Cattle Genie Limited from our supplier KI-SAMEN'S catalogue.

Criteria for selection has been in response to the request from many British dairy farmer's

for Cattle Genie to offer the following:

* Additional choice of blood lines to complement Shottle, O'Man & Goldwyn

* Provide Sires with high levels of Fat % and Protein %

* Fertility improvement Bulls

* Longevity, you tell us that you want Holsteins that will last longer, KI-SAMEN have those

bulls available for you, in fact their bulls have for a number of years now filled the top

positions in the Dutch Sire list for longevity in Holland.

* Commercial cattle breeders tell us they do not want " show type" cattle, the fashion over

the years for tall angular cows are now well recognised as the main reason for reduced

longevity. Cows that have width through the body and are capable of using cubicles and

most importantly they can walk!

* Holsteins that are bred to utilise grass and grass silage as part of their main diet

* You like the fact KI-SAMEN guarantee at least 20 Million semen cells in every conventional

straw !

* The bulls chosen by Cattle Genie are free of genetic defects including C.V.M. BLAD &

Brachyspina ( by- ) and HCD which has been traced back to Maughlin Storm - ET

CRACKER van de Wilg is a bull that farmers always re-order as a

result of very good conception rates, super calving ease and for

producing calves with good black colour. As a bonus Cracker is a

red carrier bull and his daughters are shorter stature yet have

extra width, these are truly suited to free stalls / cubicles.

Nice daughter temperament and excellent locomotion and legs

and feet make Cracker a no nonsense bull for grazing farms.

Finally Cracker offers different blood and is free of O'Man,

Shottle, Goldwyn and Planet.

There are already many calves from Cracker born onto British

dairy farms and he continues to prove very popular, a bull that

will correct narrow rear teat placement while not widening the

front teats placement.

Cracker is proven in New Zealand also in part due to his very

hood locomotion & feet and legs.

Colour ~ Black & white Straw colour ~ Blue

Calving ease ~ 100 Average

The stylish, dairy type bull Big MALKI (Maik x Jorryn x Abrian) is in

all aspects a bull the way K.I.-SAMEN likes to see. He owns a proven

and highly reliable pedigree (with top bulls) with tremendous

durability ( maternal & paternal). Very high protein levels and very

good overall confirmation are trademarks of Malki. Besides this he

fits perfectly. due to his 165 aAa code and his bloodline onto a large

part of the current Holstein population ( for example O-Man, Shottle

and Goldwyn pedigrees).

Malki's sire Hoekland MAIK was a first-class bull with top longevity

record and has sired many bulls standing at studs around the world.

Big Malki has become the first Maik son to achieve a daughter proof

and he has inherited the super udder conformation, legs & feet and

width of body from his father. Malki has also the exceptional

longevity in part a result of his hoof health, fertility and udder

health improvements transmitted to his daughters. MALKI has now

almost DOUBLED his longevity in this April 2018 proof run from 387

days to 768 days!
