HERD NOTES: Gerald & Ronald have been milking on this farm since they were 14yrs old. This herd has been AI bred since the very beginning. Most recent bulls used are Samuri, Oak, Black Gold, Monaco, Sunrise, plus many more. The Schultz’s have consistently milked 150 cows, but recently downsized to 45 head. Of the 45 remaining cows, there are 33 1st calf heifers milking with a few springers due by sale day. This is an exceptional young herd with years of good breeding behind them. For many, many years this herd was registered and on DHIA test, but no longer are. Individual SCC & Milk Weights will be available at auction. BF-4.5, Protein-3.6, SCC-200. The cows are currently being milked in a stanchion barn, but are young and good enough to respond anywhere at the next level. A nice group of tight, well uddered cattle with no drop off. Feed consists of haylage, corn gluten, grain, concentrate supplement, and mineral. In June the corn silage ran out. All work done by Lena Vet Clinic. Lyle Greenfield Nutrionalist with Eastland Feed.
