North Florida Holsteins milks 3700 cows. Productive Life means profit. The health trait information now available is an important part of our sire selection process. Although we use many “popular” sires in our mating program, sons of our own time-proven “Bull Mamas” have a growing influence in our herd. These North Florida “Bull Mamas” are cows who have excelled in Florida’s climate. We are confident they would come to the top anywhere.

• These arrows highlight the bulls we are using, or waiting for, from the featured families.

The Haven family is one of the oldest, most profitable families at North Florida Holsteins. Mtoto Hillary traces back to the foundation female No-Fla Memorial Haven who has had a tremendous influence on this herd from both her sons and her daughters. Mtoto Hillary’s dam was one of six flushmates by Rudolph. (Blackstar x Memorial Haven) There were many days when these six were 2 year olds that all six produced over 100 pounds of milk.

• We are currently using Hillary’s Formation son and have Outside ET pregnancies.
• This winter we will be using a Stormatic son of MToto’ Hillary’s maternal sister

• Previously on the webpage we have featured our homebred sire No-Fla Buckaneer (Astre x Blackstar). With over 100 daughters in milk, his superior udder traits add type and longevity in our herd. No-Fla Rudolph 16033 is Buckaneer’s maternal sister by Rudolph.

!!! Consider the impact the superior health traits and positive udder traits of this mating could have in your herd !!!

• This sister to Buckaneer, the high udder composite sire, currently has two Oman sons ready for release at ABS.
• She is due in early July to Oman. With this family’s track record, we obviously are excited about the chance to use the result of this mating in our herd.
