This kind of function and longevity does not happen by accident. It needs to be selected for. In today’s mainstream breeding it has been all about EPD numbers. It is impossible to have the best of both worlds. In this great pedigree I see grandmothers on both sides of pedigree are great foundation cows. We have talked about the good in DDA Hana 940 many times. So Let’s talk about the DDA Zelda 055, weaned 15 natural calves. Her mother was also the mother to DDA Fahren 5Z. The 791 cow weaned about 15 calves, her mother Miss Diamond Jumbo 580 also weaned more than 15 calves. Then one more generation back is Diamond Henretta 368 who is also the mother to DDA Hana 940. Genetics that has taken over 50 years to build are available in bulls like 135Z.
