1. What’s in a name? Like ‘Lightning,’ this exceptional heifer is destined to light up your herd and similarly she will be held in awe and reverence! 2. Where is she from? Through her well-known sire, Jupiter (A07-016) – she is a 2nd generation descendant from the very successful BA2/A13 combination. Her very mottled dam Milky Way (LU 17-012) brings BA2/A15 genetics through the grand sire and Milky Way’s dam Botse is a BA3/A26 combination. 3. What could she be? This amazing young heifer is a dream come true for any serious Ankole farmer. That is if you are looking for top genetics, proven super fertility and strong mottled potential. Not only was Milky Way’s grand dam, the original A26, a super fertile donor, but Milky Way has been one of our top embryo producers since we acquired her from Lumarie. She has probably been our best investment to date. Now you too have the opportunity to share in that success!
