juby
gård
farm
is located near linköping, 6 km from linghem city in linköping, and is a mixed herd - vikingholstein and vikingred, 155 cows in total. the owner of the
farm
juby
gård, christer samuelsson is 64 years old with 36 years as a dairy producer. his pas- sion for breeding and the knowledge acquired through al- most four decades of experience in this field has left him outstanding results. at the
farm
juby
there is a long tradi- tion of breeding, which has produced several ai (artificial insemination)
bulls
during the years. the latest ai bull is vr capone that turned one year last june. the dam of vr capone is 1865 mode, who has a milk production of 11,331 kg ecm (energy corrected milk) during the last 12 months. she has a total conformation score of 86 points. the dam of 1865 is 1613; she was re- cently rewarded as the most beautiful cow in östergötland with a total conformation score of 89 points. samuelsson has always chosen the top ai
bulls
, first at svensk avel, now at vikinggenetics. and perhaps this is the secret behind the successful cow families. ?i go for
bulls
that give problemfree and longlasting cows?, samu- elsson emphasizes. ?i will always use
bulls
with good con- formation and high ntm (nordic total merit)?, he states. his strategy keeps giving him good results. another ex- citing cow family on
juby
farm
is xante. here we find 1918 xante who owns the title of being one of the most famous, international, red animals in the world. the sire of 1918 is the norwegian sire eggtroen and the grand dam sire is the finish bull tosikko. further back in the pedigree we find the danish sire r alfa and swedish b jurist. 1918 has an ntm index of +17 and a total conformation score of 88 points. the latest 12 months she has been milking 11,524 kg ecm. ?i think it is very important not to forget the cow fami- lies that lie behind the good traits every
farm
er is looking for?, he emphasizes. another successful family on
juby
farm
is valla. from the valla family comes the former ai
bulls
j valter, j valon and, j valör. all of them were ai
bulls
around the turn of the millennium. the family still produces good cows; one good example is 1930 valla who has ntm +18 and a total conformation score of 88 points. samuelsson, a sort of keeper of tradition with passion for
farm
working, recommends the new generations not to lose passion in searching for a goodlooking cow. in the nordic countries, you will always have the most healthy cows in the word, and to see that they are also beautiful is a passion we shouldn?t lose?, he summarizes.
