Member PP Red proves is strength through his daughters
Tirsvad 3STAR Member PP Red
From genomic standout to proven sire and producer of promising milking daughters: Tirsvad 3STAR Member PP Red has more than lived up to expectations. The homozygous polled Red Holstein bull, bred by Tirsvad Genetics and GenHotel, combines strong breeding values with quality that is proven in practice.
His first daughters are now showing what he can transmit in the milking herd, including at Diekers Holsteins, where the Eiting family has already achieved several successful results through the 3STAR EmbryoProgram.
Member PP Red broke through in August 2022 as the No. 1 homozygous polled red genomics sire in Germany, with 159 gRZG. The K&L OH Matty P RDC son from Amber PP Red (Solitair P Red) lived up to his high expectations and remained at the top for three consecutive index runs.
Today, around 200 of his first daughters are milking, resulting in his first proven index in April 2026. With 135 RZG, Member PP Red once again became Germany's highest-ranking homozygous polled Rd Holstein bull. His influence as a sire of sons is also significant, with Maksim P Red currently his highest-ranking son at 151 gRZG.
Dam Amber PP Red VG-86
In the Netherlands, Member PP Red also ranks among the leading polled Red Holstein sires, combining 190 NVI, 364 INET and 664 days of lifespan, alongside excellent calving traits. His type profile adds further appeal, with well-attached udders and strong rear udder support, while his 103 for rear leg set indicates a positive effect on legs.

His qualities are already clearly visible in the Diekers herd. 3STAR OH Sandy P Red was recently classified at VG-86 with VG-87 type. Her dam, 3STAR OH Sunelio P Red (Sorelio), is a powerful, wide-framed cow and a maternal sister to bulls including De Oosterhof 3STAR Redbull Red and 3STAR OH Sunnyboy Red.
Sandy P Red combines her strong type with an impressive production profile, reaching 5.43% fat and 3.92% protein. After calving in September, she was already confirmed pregnant again in early January. Another Member PP Red daughter, Diekers 3STAR OH Mariskijn P Red, calved in June and was already classified at VG-85. She is a direct daughter of Diekers 3STAR OH Florijn Red VG-87 (Freestyle Red), a maternal-sister to the well-known Semex sire 3STAR OH Whisper Red.
