Dutch Kanu branch in the spotlights

At Poppe Holsteins, a group of 2-yr-olds recently received their first  classification scores. Among the best-scored first milkers were several well-developed offspring of the renowned brood cow, Wilder Kanu 111 RDC.

One of the highlights of the day was Poppe Kanu 2369 P Red, which received a score of VG-8 (with a maximum of VG-89 Frame). The Delta Launch PP-Red daughter was selected as a bull dam and is known for producing quality polled offspring based on the NVI index. Such as, Poppe Kanu 2654 PP Red, a homozygous polled daughter of Kanu 2369 P Red with a 324 gNVI. Her sire is Delta Primetime PP Red.

Another outstanding member of this family is Poppe Kanu 2249 P Red, a daughter of Poppe Flight Red. She achieved a score of VG-85 with VG-87 MS. Kanu 2249 P Red is a maternal-sister to the bulls Poppe Forceful Red P (s. Frisbee RDC) at KI Samen, and Poppe Kadans P Red at KI Kampen. Both her dam and granddam have produced numerous popular bulls. Notably, her granddam is the dam of Poppe Kayne, who was ranked as the number 2 proven Red NVI sire in August 2024.

The highest scored 2-yr-old is Poppe 9275 Amber Red, an Endless RF daughter from the Dutch Annet family. She calved in October and received a score of VG-87, with VG-88 DS. Another notable milking heifer, Poppe Sofie P, comes from the well-regarded Wilder Smile Red VG-85 line of the Apina Massia family. The polled Sofie P is sired by Cartoon P Red, awarded with VG-86 & VG-87 for Udder.

Bred together with GenHotel, Poppe 3STAR Gilana, who calved in April 2024, was scored for the first time. Gilana is a Bender granddaughter of the exceptional brood cow KHE I'm Good VG-88, and therefor  a maternal-sister to several bulls that have been sold to  AI-studs. For example, 3STAR Poppe Gigantic is at Xenetica Fontao, while 3STAR Poppe Manitu is at VOST and Poppe 3STAR Magic Bull is stationed at RUW. Gilana's dam, Gorgina, has impressive production stats in her second lactation, with 15,306 kg of milk, 4.05% fat, and 3.24% protein (305-days). Gilana earned a score of VG-86 with VG-88 DS.
