Anna 1709 RDC brings Drouner Holsteins their second EX-93 cow
Drouner Anna 1709 RDC (Crown Red x Acme RDC) nu EX-93!
Recently, no fewer than three cows from Drouner Holsteins improved their Excellent classifications. One of the standout cows was the Kenmore Triple Crown-Red daughter Drouner Anna 1709 RDC. With her impressive EX-93 total score, she became the second cow bred by the Albring family to achieve this outstanding score for overall conformation so far!
The fourth-calver Anna 1709 RDC now follows in the footsteps of Drouner Ria 1420 (by Mogul), who became the highest classified cow in the Drouner herd two years ago. Earlier this March, Anna 1709 RDC also captured the Senior Championship at the annual FDV Wintershow. Following her recent reclassification, she increased from EX-91 to EX-93, including EX-94 for both Frame and Dairy Strength. Her udder was also upgraded to EX-93.
There was more excellent news for the nearly nine-year-old Drouner Rose Marie 1504, who was reclassified with EX-91 Final Score, including EX-92 for Udder. Rose Marie 1504 is the result of a double Drouner mating. Her sire is Drouner A 288, a Sunfish RDC son from Drouner AJDH Aiko RDC VG-87, who was also used as a service sire. Through five generations, she traces back to the world-famous Lavender Ruby Redrose-Red EX-96, the two-time World Dairy Expo Grand Champion (2005 & 2007).

Another cow improving her classification was the well-known Drouner Cosmo 1836 (by Alligator). The successful third-calver and two-time FDV Wintershow Grand Champion (2025 & 2026) increased from EX-91 to EX-92 Final Score. Her remarkable EX-94 Udder score remained unchanged, while both Frame and Type were reconfirmed at EX-92. Her Feet & Legs score remained EX-90. With an ever-growing list of show results, Cosmo 1836 continues to be one of the leading show cows in the Drouner herd and the Dutch showcircuit.

The young Barolo daughter calved in January, only two months after winning the Junior Grand Championship at the national HHH Show. She received 88 points in every classification category. Her full sister, who won the reserve 2-yr-old championship at the HHH-sHow 2025, had recieved VG-88 (VG-89 DS & MS) as well, already in late March. Her granddam is Blondin Success EX-90, a direct Raptor daughter from the legendary Blondin Goldwyn Subliminale EX-97.

The well-known Drouner AJDH Aiko RDC family also continues to perform strongly within the Albring herd. The young Drouner Aiko 2131 Red, a Hellender Brandy P Red daughter, was classified VG-88 with VG-88 for Udder. Her dam is Drouner Aiko 1920 VG-88, the K&L Augustus P Red daughter who won both the Junior Championship and Best Udder at Rundveeshow Noord in 2024. With this classification result, Aiko 2131 becomes the 13th consecutive generation scoring VG or EX.
The homebred Anna family also delivered another highlight among the young first milkers. Drouner Anna 2070 Red (Crown-Red) was classified VG-88 and received an outstanding VG-89 for Frame.
