Lucky has sired some beautiful looking kids for us and is only being made available because we own his littermate brother as well. While its tough evaluating kids, its easy to see that all of his kids have a nice long bone pattern and look like they will excel in dairy strength. He has also stamped them with nice feet and legs, especially rear legs. His pedigree is packed with 1000+lb milkers, high LA scores, Superior Genetics, Elite, and Top Ten does.
His dam is a consistent milker that is sharp and angular scoring a 33 in dairyness as a 2 yr old first freshener. She has great teat placement, a wide rear udder arch, and a ton of capacity. She scored a V in both mammary and dairy strength. She also earned all three milk stars in her first yearling lactation and was ranked in the 92nd percentile that year. She finished her 2nd 305 day lactation with 820 lbs of milk and then easily stayed in milk for 400 days total making 1010 lbs of milk before we dried her up.
Lucky’s sire, Cedar View Heath *B, has made a huge impact on our herd and we owe much of our success to him, both in the show ring and filling the milk pail. His yearling daughters have all earned all three AR sars in their first lactation. His 4th daughter from 3 different dams is only a couple of tests away from earning her milk star, which will qualify Heath for his first AR + when she does. Heath’s maternal line is made up of three consecutive top ten does. His dam is a finished Champion that has never milked less than 1000 lbs in a 305 day lactation. She recently put up her 2nd 1500+ lb lactation, putting her in range for another Top Ten placing for 2024.
