Pedigree Analysis
This exciting young Done Right son boasts quite a few talking points! He’s polled, Red & White, A2/A2 and carries a hard to find aAa code.
As you can see from her photo, the dam of Risk P-Red is a young cow with a future! This Ammo P daughter scored EX just fresh as a three year old and she continues to develop. Behind her is a cow family, affectionately known around the world as “The Roxy’s”. Risk P-Red traces his maternal roots back to Roxy through a branch that Ridgedale developed into it’s own legacy, producing legends such as the EX-96 4E Raichu and her sister the EX-95 Runway. Of course, Ridgedale Raimund, a proven bull who spent several years in our lineup hails from this family also.
The Peachy family has developed a superb herd of Holsteins, focusing on balance matings, high components and polled. Risk P-Red brings it all together! We think the mating of Done Right on this beautiful uddered Ammo daughter is brilliant.
Glen Peachy has this to say about Risk’s maternal line:
His first 3 dams have never seen a vet. The third dam was treated once for a mild case of mastitis but if memory serves me correctly that is the only health issues in those 3 generations with the exception of milk fever which was a diet issue.
Why is that important? Since the 1970’s the focus of the dairy industry has been toward a high production, low margin cow. That model works well for the large dairies. If the small dairy is to survive, another approach must be implemented. A 50 or 100 cow dairy cannot survive using the low margin model. I have to increase my per cow profit. Instead of focusing on more milk, I need to focus on more profit per cow.
Fertility, health and components all play a role in increasing my profit per cow. Risk’s maternal line checks the boxes.

comparable PTAT bulls
305-AA is the standardized milk, fat, and protein yield estimate used by CDCB to compare cows of different ages, parities, breeds, and regions on equal footing. According to CDCB and USDA AGIL, it represents “a 305-day lactation record at 36 months of age” — hence “Average Age,” or AA.
It replaced 305-ME (Mature Equivalent) in June 2024 for published records and was implemented in the calculation of CDCB genetic evaluations effective August 13, 2024. ME had been the standard since 1935.
How it is calculated
The new factors are applied as a series of separate multipliers for age-parity, season, previous days open, and milking frequency. Lactation records are adjusted upward or downward to what the cow would have been expected to produce as a 36-month-old, milked twice daily for 305 days.
Key adjustments include:
- Age-parity: Standardized to 36 months rather than ME’s mature range of 61–86 months depending on breed.
- Season/climate: Seasonal effects are now estimated within five regions defined by the average climate zone scores for each state, replacing the old three east-to-west geographic regions.
- Milking frequency: Still standardized to 2x milking, unchanged from ME.
- Previous days open: The methodology for this adjustment is also unchanged from ME.
