I last profiled the best cow in my herd, #417, here in August 2011. I chose to do an update now because she just passed 1000lbs of fat in a lactation for the third time. On our last test last Thursday, #417 was 237 days in milk. She gave a test of 73.8lbs, 4.9% fat, 3.8% protein for the day. That made her lactation to date: 237 days in milk, 149 days pregnant to Foske (sexed as heifer), 19951lbs of milk, 1010lbs of fat (5.1%), 699lbs of protein (3.5%), 18,000 SCC. One of her milking daughters sired by Gunnarstorp was mentioned here and another daughter sired by Ruud is mentioned here as a calf.
