Cogent Sexes Semen on
Red Young Sire
Willsbro Young Sire Willsbro Red Razzle in Demand
Breeding company Cogent has taken the unusual step of sexing semen from one of its most popular young sires in order to satisfy an exceptional demand.
The young red and white Holstein sire, Willsbro Red Razzle, was a sell-out within days of being launched for progeny testing this summer, as red and white breeders in particular were keen to acquire bloodlines from his outstanding pedigree.
Razzle is a son of Dudoc Mr Burns and his dam is the remarkable Rockset Faber Rachel EX92 (pictured above), a cow which gave 15,616 kg at 3.95 percent fat and 3.08 percent protein (305 days) in her second lactation in the Wills brothers’ herd in Cornwall. She combines this production with an EX93 score for mammary.
The bull’s pedigree features a remarkable nine generations classified Excellent, whilst Red Razzle is an outstanding looking bull himself.
