Lakeside Ups Red Range VG-86, Salvatore RC x VG-89 Rubicon
At Koepon Genetics, another remarkable chapter has begun for one of the most influential Red Holstein cows of this generation: Lakeside Ups Red Range VG-86 has freshly calved in her 5th lactation. Once again, this extraordinary cow proves not only her durability and production strength, but above all her unmatched value as a bull dam and supplier of world-leading genetics.
Descending from the world-famous Prudence family through influential cows such as De Oosterhof DG Rose RDC VG-89 and Holbra Pam VG-87, Red Range rapidly developed into a true elite cow within the international Holstein industry. Her pedigree combines generations of strong production, excellent components, good conformation and exceptional transmitting power.
With hundreds of influential descendants worldwide, Red Range has made an enormous impact on both the female and male side of the breed. Especially her sons, grandsons and now even great-grandsons can be found in the line-ups of leading AI organizations around the globe. Without question, her most famous son is 3STAR OH Ranger-Red, who developed into one of the most dominant Red Holstein sire of sons of his generation. His influence spread rapidly throughout international breeding programs, resulting in numerous highly successful sons worldwide.
However, the influence of Red Range extends far beyond Ranger-Red alone. Internationally, her sons and grandsons continue to enter the very top rankings. In the current proven Red Holstein sire rankings for the Netherlands and Flanders, Ranger Red and grandsons Koepon AltaCarmine-Red and Koepon AltaRutilant-Red are all ranked among the top ten. In Canada, her male descendants are proving equally successful, with Robin Red ranked #2, Ranger Red #6 and another full brother, Ryder Red, ranked #7. Just outside the Canadian Top 10 proven Red LPI sires is Red Range’s Swingman son: Koepon Renown Red.

The fact that Red Range was already named “Global Red Impact Cow 2021” at a young age perfectly underlines her extraordinary significance within the Holstein breed. She also continues to impress from a production standpoint. During her previous lactation, she produced more than 12,600kgM with strong fat and protein percentages. Now, freshly calved again in her 5th lactation, she once again confirms the rare combination of durability, production and elite genetics that makes her such a unique cow.
Within Koepon Genetics, Lakeside Ups Red Range VG-86 is regarded as one of the key foundations behind the current success of modern Red Holstein breeding.
