Madelijn the fastest 100.000kg cow in Flanders!
Madelijn V/H Zomerbloemhof VG-88, great granddam Regancrest Shottle Chassity EX-92
Madelijn V/H Zomerbloemhof VG-88 (Apoll P Red x Yoder x Earnhard P x Shottle Chassity) is the fastest 100.000kg milk cow in Flanders, Belgium. In her sixth lactation, at the age of seven and a half years, she reached in 1839 days 101.782kg of milk, which is 55kg per day!
This is the third time I have had a fastest hundred-tonner,’ says Lahousse. ‘But this is the fastest of the three. I have never had a cow like that. In one of her lactations, she gave 20,655 kg in 305 days.’ The cow, classified with 88 points, walks to the robot an average of 3.8 times a day. Over all of her six lactations, she produced an average of 55 kg of milk per day. She is currently 200 days into lactation and still gives 70 kg.
According to Lahousse, Madelijn is very similar to her sire Apoll: ‘Her mother Katrijn is a Yoder daughter. That is a bull that transmits very high percentages. That is why I crossed Katrijn with Apoll P. At the time, he had a milk yield of plus 3000 kg.’ Madelijn comes from the well-known Barbie cow family. ‘About eight years ago, I went to the World Dairy Expo in America with Adolf Langhout’, says Lahousse. ‘I continued breeding with the animals from the cow families that I saw there.’ For example, he bought Madelijn’s dam Katrijn as an embryo from ALH.

The dam of Madelijn, Katrijn V/H Zomerbloemhof was delivered as an embryo to Dries Lahousse, Zomerbloemhof in Elverdinge (Belgium). Katrijn is a Woodcrest Mogul Yoder from the ALH embryo donor MS Chassity Earn P 2272 VG-88 x Regancrest Shottle Chassity EX-92 x Regancrest Cinderella EX-92 x Regancrest Durham Barbie EX-92. The nice thing about Mandelijn is that her father, the breeding bull Apoll P Red (Aikman x Candlelight P Red) was also bred by ALH and delivered to the AI.
ALH congratulates the Lahousse family with these beautiful production results!
