Story: Sired by Goldwyn and backed by the popu-lar GBM Durham BC Annabell cow family, Mor-Yet Goldwyn Faithful caught the attention of several Holstein breeders back in September 2010 when

she sold through the ring at the Western Wisconsin Genetic Harvest Sale. A final bid of $7,000 and Todd Galton was the new owner. A young calf with a promising future, Faithful that went on to deliver scoring Very

Good-88 EX-MS as a two-year-old, Excellent-91 as a four-year-old and now raised to Excellent-94 as a five-year-old with two huge milk records and an

impressive show resume.Owner Comments: Todd Galton, “Faithful is just pure cow and does everything a breeder could want. She is producing fancy offspring and has a red granddaughter that will show this fall in the spring calf class. A couple years ago she had 208 pounds of milk for the tester and three days later was named Grand Champion at the Central New York Show. She is just an incredible cow.”

Story: One of the greatest Senior cows in Europe, maximum score of EX-93 in Italy and she was 1st Senior Cow at the European Show in Colmar! Bred by Hallow Holsteins from Ireland, her dam Advent

Twizzle EX-95 won many shows, such as Grand at the Emerald Expo 2016. She comes from a very deep cow family going back on Bardholm Trust Lee EX-93-USA, the foundation of the Luck-E Twizzles! Twizzle is now in the herd of Al.Be.Ro Holsteins in Italy, who own her in combined

ownership with Gary Jones (IE) and Pat Conroy from America.

Owner Comments: Gary Jones: “Twizzle is one of those once-in-a-lifetime cows - as a 2-year-old she was square and balanced with a great udder. When she freshened as a 2nd calf 3-year-old she contin-ued to develop and now with her 3rd calf she looks better than ever. This is a great trait of the family, they get better with age and I’m excited to see what Twizzle can do at the shows in Italy this fall... Right now she looks her best yet!”

Story: Another Goldwyn great, Mt-Ararat Goldwyn Ebrill is backed by the tremendous All-American producing Krull Broker Elegance family. Her dam is an Excellent-92 Advent followed by an Excellent En-core and then Elegance herself. Ebrill has changed

ownership several times but has re-ally developed over the past couple of years at Stranshome in Minnesota. Just fresh, Ebrill is ready to parade the colored shavings in Madison fol-

lowing her win at the recent Midwest Fall National Show.Owner Comments: Reid Stransky, “We are very excited for the future of this young Goldwyn. Ebrill

was purchased by Tom DeGroot, T&L Cattle at expo as a winter yearling, came to the farm following the show and we partnered. She did well as a senior two-year-old and was fresh again late July with her second calf and continues to get better every day. We love her beautiful dairy frame, uphill run and smashing good udder. Ebrill will be part of our string at Madison and is a cow that if she continues to de-velop could be very special in a year or two.”

Story: Bons-Holsteins is one of the most common names in the Championship result pages of the Dutch shows from the past decade and one of the most up- and coming names in the International Show ring!

Koba 219 is home bred, VG-89 2yr. old, Res. Jr. Champion Swiss Expo, 1st 2yr. Old European Show Colmar and from a Champions pedigree. Grand dam Koba 167 is better known as “the big Stormatic”, the Res. Sr. Champion of Libramont ‘09, followed by the In-tegrity daughter Koba 152 EX-92, the

Res. Int. Champion Libramont ‘09! 3 Generations of big international show successes in a row! Owner Comments: Nico Bons: “Koba 219 is the kind

of cow which reflects our breeding goal, she did it as a heifer at Lausanne, she did it in milk as a 2yr. old and we have the best hope for the future! She has a dream udder, which is so extremely strong attached, she was really young and fresh when she won her class at Colmar, one of the strong transmitting points of this family is the development in frame through to the next lactation which makes it that I can’t wait to see how she develops for the upcoming years. Koba 219 is pregnant now to Doorman, our target is to show her next year on the National Show, the NRM”

Story: Bred from an All-American Red & White ped-igree, Ivy has all the key pieces to make a great show cow. Sired by Absolute, she has Apple on the top-side and Jan-Com Fond Matt Matilda EX-97 on the bottom side with an All-American nominated

dam and Beluah the Grand Champion of World Dairy Expo 2008 as her grand-dam. She already has an impressive show resume but it looks like the story of Ivy is far from over.

Owner Comments: Ethan Heinzmann “We bought Ivy from Tim Natzke after she left the ring having won the Fall Calf class at Midwest Spring National in 2014. The following spring she repeated as a class

winner taking the Fall Yearling blue ribbon as well as Junior Champion honors. Ivy delighted us when she freshened! We thought everything else could be there if she hung a big time udder. Scored Very Good-88 early in lactation and getting better everyday she reigned Supreme at our Illinois State Fair. To date the only offspring we have from Ivy is a Diamondback bull. As soon as World Dairy Expo is wrapped up we will work hard at making Ivy babies.”

Story: One of the very best young 2yr. olds in Europe, she was Top 5 at the Swiss Expo in Lausanne and was 1st 2yr. old at the Schau der Besten in a strong B&W class! Beside her great type she has a tremendous pedigree. Her sire is Redburst (which is

not available in Europe) and has 4 EX Generations in her pedigree, her dam is the one and only Luck-E Advent Atlanta *RC EX-94-USA, the full sister to Asia EX-94-USA, the dam of the popular and heavily used sires Awesome Red, Adonis Red and others!

Owner Comments: Rick Schoonhoven “Aphrodite is a true breeders dream and we are proud to have her in the barn. She has a great attitude and is a real plea-

sure to work with. Her type combined with her pedigree makes us looking forward to the future and we can’t wait until we have calves from her in the barn. At the moment she is in flush program, there is plenty of inter-est in her embryos from all over the World. Beside that we are trying to make some pregnancies as well. Her Armani daughter in Germany looks incredible and was 1st at the show, that’s a combination we have done again, furthermore we are flushing her to sexed female semen of the best current RC and R&W bulls!”
