             110 Head of Milking High Grade Free-Stall Adapted Holstein Dairy Cows

 This is an exceptionally good herd of dairy cows that have been well bred for many years.  The herd is housed in a free-stall barn, milked 2X per day in a double 8 step up parlor and will adjust well to most any housing & milking systems.  Top AI sires from several bull studs have been used for many years resulting in fancy well attached udders and exceptionally good feet & legs.  The Schuettes have selected their service sires for Productive life, daughter preg rate & SCC; as well as good overall type.  Current bulk tank and milk plant records show a 74 lb. per cow average w/3.8% B.F. and 3.0 P and a SCC of only 73,000.  They have received the Clark Co. quality milk award for the last 7 years.  This is the lowest SCC herd we have had the opportunity to sell.  All cattle selling in this sale will be milking cows; the Schuettes are keeping all of their dry cows and heifers.  Current production info. on all cows will be available in the catalog.  There will be several cows milking 80-120 lbs. per day w/no BGH used.  Approximately 35 cows are fresh within the last 60 days.  This is a very young herd of cows w/70% of the herd being in the 1st or 2nd lactation w/many productive years ahead of them.  Herd health is excellent with a monthly herd health program used.  All vaccinations are current w/cows receiving their annual 9-way Bovi-Shield vaccines.  At dry off, all cows are dewormed with Eprinex and vaccinated with Scour-Guard, Presponse and SRP.  Endovac Bovi is given 1 week post fresh.  The current calving interval in the herd is 13 months with a 51% first service conception rate.  The herd is on a routine hoof trimming schedule as well.  The herd has been on a Johnes testing program for 12 years, with only three test positive cows having been found in the last three years.  A catalog w/all pertinent production, SCC and breeding info will be available.  If you wish to view the cattle before sale day, feel free to stop Friday or Saturday (April 20 & 21) between 10:30 A.M. and 12:00 Noon.  Thank you.  If you are looking for the very best in replacement cows, be sure to attend this sale.
