Quality Classification

August 2011 Classification:

A record breaking classification day at Quality Farms.  Quality BC Frantisco EX-96, twice Grand and Supreme Champion at the Royal Winter Fair, had five new Excellent, two Multiple Excellents and three VG first calf daughters.  Three of the Excellent cows are sired by Goldwyn, one by each Outside, Blitz, Dundee and Allen. The VG first calvers are sired by Final Cut, Bolton and Jasper. Frantisco’s grand daughter sired by Goldwyn, Quality Goldwyn Flinso, and out of  the 95 point Quality Gibson Finsco, scored VG-89 on her second lactation.  Many believe this Goldwyn to be the best young cow at Quality Farms since Frantisco. In total we had 6 new Excellents, 7 Multiple Excellents and 7 VG first calvers .  Included in the Multiple Excellents was a 95 point Leduc maternal sister to the dam of RokyMountain Talent Licorice, Idee Leduc Lakita and a 94 point Gibson, Dandyland Gibson Razzle.  Both of these cows will part of our show string this fall.
