Dignity 3STAR Rina 2 RDC gives promising Shield offspring
Dignity 3STAR Rina 2 RDC (AltaAlanzo)
Dignity 3STAR Rina 2 RDC, a daughter of Peak AltaAlanzo, was bred through the 3STAR EmbryoProgram from her highly interesting dam and former embryo donor 3STAR Bomaz Riva RDC (Riveting x Bomaz Salvatore RC 8066). With their strong American roots, both Riva and her descendants quickly made an impact on the European Holstein breeding scene. Now three years old, Rina 2 RDC is also leaving her mark on top-level breeding.
As a young heifer, Rina 2 RDC – owned by VMO Holsteins and GenHotel – was flushed. At that time, she ranked among Europe’s highest gTPI red-carrier AltaAlanzo daughters, and her close relationship to Bomaz Delta 7173-ET VG-88 offered additional breeding potential. A flush with 3STAR OH Shield RDC (s. Monteverdi) proved highly successful, resulting in nine offspring. One of her sons is sold to Semex and will be headed to their AI-stud next week.
Genomic results of the female Shield daughters highlight the strong genetic quality of this combination:
- VMO 3STAR Rina 5 RDC: 3233 gTPI, 150 gRZG, 1561 gISET en 403 gNVI
- Nr. 1 RDC gTPI vrouwelijk in Europa 1-2025, nr. 1 Shield voor gNVI 8-2025 & top RDC ISET 12-2025
- VMO 3STAR Rina 4 Red: 3131 gTPI & 1506 gISET
Rina 5 RDC will be flushed soon to produce more promising offspring from this line! Her recently photographed dam, Rina 2 RDC, calved in May of this year and is expected in 305 days at 10,423kgM, 4.78% F, and 3.58%P.
