Breeder’s Perspective
Sunrise P-Red is a bull bred for the times. With all the discussion among breeders about health traits and longevity, Sunrise rises to the occasion. His dam produced over 255,000 lbs, his dam’s full sister made 230,000 lbs, and his grand-dam 185,000… all while being functionally sound. High lifetime production and good health go hand in hand. Add Diamondback on the top side, and it gets really exciting! Sunrise exemplifies over 60 years of Burket-Falls breeding. –John Burket, Burket-Falls Farm

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.
