HERD SIRE BULLS FOR REFERENCE ONLY -

Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
Kappa Casein A/B, Beta Lactoglobulin ?/B
MJHB 0083, AMJA 1260, UC Davis-VGL NC14802
We've long admired Dapper Dan's conformation and his dam's near perfect udder. His sire line is known to have White Galloway 5 generations back. His dam has a pure Jersey bloodline going back to a bull imported from Great Britain thirteen generations back, Signal of Oaklands, JEGBR000000005979, born 04/10/1922.
Offspring by Dapper Dan:

Kappa Casein AA, Beta Lactoglobulin BB
PMJS G01150005, JEUSA00074EXQ990, MJHB0544, UC Davis-VGL NC30398
Dino had a sweet disposition and was Homozygous Polled. He comes from an excellent milking background, combining the Meadow Beauty and Barnyard Tinker Smurf lines. He's negative for BVD, BLV, Brucella, Johne's, and Chondro. He last measured 41" at 2.5 years.
Offspring by Dino:

IMCBR6135, MJHB0419, AMJA1434, UC Davis-VGL NC21733
Kristoff is negative for BVD, BLV, Brucella, Johne's, and Chondro. At 33 months he measured 42" at the top of the hip. He is Heterozygous Polled. NW Autumn was sired by Kristoff out of NW Brook, BBR100, Autumn is BBR90 so we now know Kristoff isn't 100% pure Jersey genetics.
Offspring by Kristoff:
MPRR Little Firecracker -P 4/27/2013 - used in AI, Deceased
BBR82 GT94K
Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
Kappa Casein AA, Beta Lactoglobulin BB

Firecracker is A2/A2, Negative for Chondro, measured 41" at the top of the hip when three years old, Heterozygous Polled but has scurs, and good natured. His Dam is one of their best milking Minis. He took height off and we're pleased with teat length.
Offspring by Firecracker:

BBR100 (assumed by parentage & genetic testing of NW Emerald, NW Ruby,
& NW Snowflake)

(A1/A1), (A1/A2), (A2/A2), (A2/B) or (A1/B) = The type of Beta-Casein in a cow's milk. One type isn't necessarily better than another, though those with asthma or allergies may notice a difference. Most grocery store milk is A1/A1 from Holstein cows. We're developing our herd to contain the A2/A2 proteins because we have a family history of asthma and allergies.
