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.
