WKF Rider Marnee shines with first score
Veelhorst Vekis Melody VG-87, granddam to Marnee
BGP FB Ridercup daughter WKF Rider Marnee has made an outstanding debut as a milker. The two-year-old NH HS Marilyn Monroe VG-86 descendant, one of the highest-tested daughters of WKF Copy Marlies, not only boasts great genomics but also an awesome classification score.
Dam WKF Copy Marlies already showed exceptional potential as a heifer calf, with striking RZG and TPI profiles that led to multiple embryo contracts. The Ridercup flush produced three remarkable daughters:
- Holbra 3STAR Marli, owned by Holbra Holsteins and GenHotel,
- WKF Rider Marja (2947 gTPI), sold during the 2023 GenHotel Selection Sale,
- and the recently classified WKF Rider Marnee (2967 gTPI).
Fresh since May 2025, Marnee immediately impressed with her outstanding fat production, projecting 10,436 kg of milk in 305 days with 5.20% fat and 3.44% protein in 305 days. During classification, she was awarded VG-86, including a maximum udder score of VG-89!
Her granddam, Veelhorst Vekis Melody VG-87, is a renowned and influential donor of Beeze Holsteins. From this cow family also descends WKF Melania 4 RDC (Sirius P Red x Gladius), who, with 394 gNVI and 157 gRZG, ranks among the highest-scoring daughters of her sire. Embryos from Melania have already been exported to Poland and Germany, further extending the reach of this powerful breeding line.
