April 9, 2021 Veenhuizer K&L Jameson also made an excellent turn. The Jetset son, co-bred by Jannes Uineken, is a real calving ease bull with both a high NVI and a high RZG. He transmits on average frames with excellent udders and feet & legs, and scores sky high for longevity and also gives thick components with absolute top udders. Jannes Uineken is the man behind the Neblina line, he was the one who bought her at an auction in Germany. In retrospect, Neblina is the most influential Marathon BW Marshall daughter there has been in Europe. This is an enormous achievement, knowing that at that time all bulls breeding organisations in Europe were running after Marathon BW Marshal daughters. The family is now particularly successful at Tirsvad in Denmark. It is not without reason that the family is nominated in the HI Cow Family election. Continue reading...   Read More
