Pedigree Analysis & Progeny Description
Pep-Red is an exciting red and white bull from the “Pala” family. His 4th dam, Windyknoll-View Ultimate Pala will go down in history as a great brood cow, producing 17 EX daughters. One of these daughters, a Rudolph named Promis (EX-95 2E) carried on the greatness with 22 EX daughters of her own. Then of course is Windy-Knoll-View Pledge (EX-95 3E) with over 217,000 lb of 4.0% fat and 3.2% protein. The Pala family is known for their transmitting ability, along with strings of show winnings and big milk records.
Besides being red and white, what makes this good-looking bull so special is his much needed aAa code of 5-1-6. Imagine the results of combining Contender-Red, Advent and Pledge!
Pep-Red is a beautiful bull, exemplifying a rare balance of structural qualities. He seems to be transmitting those qualities in the offspring we are seeing. The first crop of daughters are pleasing our customers with their balance, beautiful udders and good production as young cows.

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.
