A love for Red & White Holsteins is where this all started.

She’s Nifty and She Sells June 23rd!

SELLING IN THE 2026 NATIONAL HOLSTEIN CONVENTION SALE.

NIFTY RED, born in October is already a proven IVF producer with the genetics to make the next great Red and RC cattle. She’s an early daughter of Falciform RC who’s proving to be a great sire of elite Reds. There will be a limited number of Falciform RC daughters, and she’ll be one of the best.

Genetic Background
Tramilda Redlea Nancy ET RC

NANCY RC was an incredible embryo donor, producing over 400 embryos before calving at two-years of age. Unfortunately, she was lost to a severe case of reticuloperitonitis several weeks after calving. (She’s pictured here days after calving.) She remains the highest RC daughter of her popular sire, Redlea RC.

Family Impact Will Be Significant

With a family consistency of tremendous embryo production and outstanding genomic results, this cow family will be part of a profound influence in Red and RC genetics. Six sons have already left the farm for major studs with dozens of pregnancies yet to be born.

Tramilda Gameday Neptune ET; VG-88 VE+GE

A typical, consistently impressive daughter of Gameday, Neptune carries the generational superior scores for mammary - one of several reasons I was so very interested in purchasing her on RC Redlea daughter as a young calf. Another, is the deep maternal power which cannot be denied - all the way back to the 2014 Global Cow of the Year - Wesswood-HC Rudy Missy ET.
