29HO14450 De-Su HISTORY-ET*TV*BY By Paul Trapp From the De-Su cow family comes yet another fun ABS graduate. Like his cousin GILLESPY, HISTORY will make head turning cows with great frames and outstanding udders while producing high volumes of plus percent milk.

Dean and Sue Meyer farm with their two sons Darin and Dustin. Over the past twenty years, De-Su has grown from a typical Midwest tie-stall herd to milking right at 1100 cows three times a day with a tank production average over 100 lbs. HISTORY’s family has lived at De-Su for several generations. Patron Gold lived to over ten years of age and produced over 200,000 lifetime. She was a tremendous silky dairy cow with an excellent udder. Unfortunately she was not a great flush cow, but she did leave VG daughters sired by Hershel, Garter and BWM. Patron Gold’s most famous daughter is BWM Georgia EX-90 who also lived to over ten years of age. Unlike her mother, Georgia has flushed extremely well, as she has1 EX, 15 VG and 25 GP daughters to date plus she is the dam of GLEE. Many of the De-Su prefixed bulls you have seen in the ABS Bull Book are related to HISTORY. O-Man 6121 is the dam of GODFREY, GROVER, GRANDMASTER and MOTIF. Plus 6121 is a maternal sister to the dam of GILLESPY & GAVIN and the full sister to O-Man 6290 who is the dam of VENTURA. On the female side of things, O-Man 6121 has 1 EX, 16 VG, 39 GP and 50 daughters under two years of age. HISTORY’s dam, SHOTTLE 7049 has one VG BOLTON daughter and 11 GP daughters to date. One thing that has impressed me about the Georgia family is no matter what bull was used on the family…the resulting daughters always have good udders and they age gracefully. As you see, ABS has invested heavily into this successful commercial family and great results are showing. Watch your Bull Book for more exciting members of this awesome family. Daughter Information HISTORY produces the full package. Daughters exhibit a balanced combination of strength and dairyness, style and production. Tall and dairy, HISTORYs carry plenty of strength and openness throughout. Daughters will out produce herdmates for many lactations with exceptionally high and wide rear udders, and very strong cleft. Daughters track straight, with a straighter hock, and steep foot angle. Mating Information Use HISTORY on daughters of BOLIVER, BURT, DUNDEE, GERARD, GARRETT, HOMESTEAD, JUNIPER, SAWYER and HAYDEN. 29HO14450 HISTORY Daughter Nordic-Ridge History Chels Owned by Kurt & Deon Amundson, Mt.
