Merry Christmas from all of us at Walnutlawn!

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:11-14

Thank you to Mike and Tim at Showbox Sires for having me on their podcast to discuss Sidekick, his family and their cool new bull IMAGE who is a Sidekick x Doc EX96!!
He is a very well balanced bull who looks to be easy to use. Looking forward to his first doses arriving soon

In the podcast they speak to Adam Zehr from Walnutlawn Farms about this bull. They all feel this will make very well-balanced cows that can be used in many directions. Image should provide the style from both Doc and Sidekick, with great udders on both sides of the pedigree.

Of all the bulls we have bred I think Brantley is the one that anybody can use, he has no holes... Type, production, and excellent health traits!
His daughters should thrive in any environment, but in my opinion they will excel the most in robot barns. Brandy is a modern no fuss cow who is easy to love, she looks after herself and she loves the robot, the most important trait for robot milked cows to possess.
Genomics identify him as an extreme outlier being over 220 LPI above PA. Early embryo biopsy results sired by him are demonstrating this as well with embryos up to 17 and 18 conf.

0200HO13072 WALNUTLAWN PG BRANTLEY

Brantley is a Havenofear son from the early scored VG-2yr Ranger daughter, Brandy, at Walnutlawn. He sports a very pleasing combination of Fat (78 kg) with excellent Type (+12) and a no-holes breakdown. It’s another really interesting pedigree cross and one that should be well received by customers. Havenofear calves are standouts adding confidence that Brantley can build on his reputation. The 3700 LPI level he achieves certainly makes him more than just a Type sire. He trades some milk for much a higher Fat deviation and in the process gains over 300 LPI points over Havenofear while also adding a point on Type. Brantley is a Robot Ready sire as well.

❤️ BEYONCE❤️

Prolific transmitter, bull dam, show cow, max score in 2 countries (now VG89 2yr USA), but I think making alot of milk is what comes easiest for her.

Never could have I dreamt she would accomplish what she has this past year.
Thank you to Adam and Jess Hodgins Hodglynn Holsteins Ltd, Horacio Larrea and Carl Barclay, and the team at Butlerview for their confidence in the Briar family!

Dams: Lady EX95 x Lynzi EX95

Last test: Sept 19th 47.5kg 4.4 3.0 19,000SCC

Flush history available on request

Huge brand name pedigree, +14 conf, brother in AI (Jerry Lewis at ST), embryos exported, and a family that transmits. Her Lambda sister was 1st Jr 2yr old Jr Show WDE. Laura herself is Lambda free so there are lots of options to make fancy high conf daughters.

0200HO13073  WALNUTLAWN PG BENSON

Benson could be that new Milk and Type option breeders are looking for. He joins Anahita as the only pair of bulls that offer +1000 kg Milk with +16 Type. He’s the only bull that can combine +1500 kg Milk with at least +14 Feet & Legs. With high scoring Beyonce as his dam who placed 4th in a strong Sr-2-yr-old class at World Dairy Expo-2024 and backed by Alligator Briar VG-88-3yr, Abbott Breeze EX-91-3E and tracing to the Barbie family, there is no question about the cow family credentials that back Benson. Expect high Type that combines the industry’s best Mammary (+13) and F&L (+14) combo. Add in excellent Dairy Strength at +10 and there will be significant demand for Benson. Benson will be an excellent choice for use on Ranger-Red, Alcove and Pursuit bloodlines that all excel on Fat yield but could use the shot of Milk and Type that Benson will bring.
