Koepon Snow Classy 97 VG-87 (Snowman)

On the dairy farm of Koepon Genetics there are currently about 25 dairy cows housed with an age of 8 years or older, of which Flevo Genetics Snowman daughter Koepon Snow Classy 97 RDC, calved again at 11.01 years, is the oldest member of this herd!

The eighth calver Koepon Snow Classy 97 RDC is unstoppable! Many highlights have already passed during her milking career at Koepon Genetics. As in first lactation, the Snowman daughter was already good for a score of VG-85 and achieved a first production that was 28% above herd average. The red factor Classy bred 9 offspring of which were pared based on conformation. One of these daughters is Koepon Door Classy 161 GP-84, which was photographed as a 2-yr-old and made it to a lifetime production of 71,838 kgM with 3.93% fat and 3.46% protein.

After calved again twice and completing her 7th lactation with 15,934 kgM, 4.10% fat and 3.20% protein, this queen of the Koepon herd recently also managed to produce the impressive amount of 10,000 kg of fat + protein!
