Vendairy Wonder: #4 proven bull in the Netherlands

Vendairy Wonder is the highest debutant in the Dutch NVI list (proven bulls). He scores +266 GNVI and is the number 4 NVI bull. Wonder is a type specialist and he scores +115 conformation.
Wonder is breed by Ven Dairy Holsteins (Van de Ven family) and hails from the Whittier-Farms Lead Mae EX-95 family.

ALH Willie
The dam of Wonder, ALH Willie, is still present in the herd of Ven Dairy. She has just calved for the fourth time and looks great. She is a Goldwyn daughter of Marwil Leadmae 1 VG-88, a Durham daughter of Whittier-Farms Lead Mae EX-95. This family is all about longevity and we see that also in the performances of ALH Willie and her offspring. As a 2-yr old Willie was scored VG-85 and produced 9.430kgM 4.03%F 3.68%P (305d). In her second lactation she was raised to VG-88 and produced 13.286kgM 4.22%F 3.44%P (23% above herd average)

Full sisters to Wonder
Two full sisters to Wonder are present at Ven Dairy, Vendairy Willie 2 and Vendairy Willie 3. Willie 2 was classified VG-85 as a 2-yr old and was also raised to VG-88 in her second lactation, just as her dam ALH Willie. She has daughters by Man O Man and Epic.
Willie 3 is classified VG-87 (2-yr old) and has daughters by Numero Uno and Mogul. She is also the dam of Willie 12, a Snowman daughter that is the dam of Vendairy Willie 2 (+2266 GTPI O Daddy). The highest Willie for GTPI is a +2411 GTPI Numero Uno out of an Aftershock daughter of ALH Willie.

+296 GNVI Jeeves
Vendairy Willie 4 is a Jeeves daughter of ALH Willie and that makes her a halfsister to Wonder. She is classified VG-85 and produced 8.441kgM 4.53%F 3.80%P in her first lactation. In her achievements we can also see the longevity en persistence of this family as she is projected at 12.361kgM 4.19%F 3.54%P in her second lactation.
Willie 4 has a GNVI of +296 and is the number 1 Jeeves daughter in the Netherlands without O Man blood. She still is a bull dam for CRV.

Future
The future looks bright for the Willie family and Ven Dairy Holsteins. ALH Willie is an excellent broodcow and that is confirmed by her first son Vendairy Wonder. A lot of daughters and granddaughters still have to calve and this family is extending fast.
