D.O.B: March 17, 1985
Color: Red
Reg #: 95 Canadian, 3182 US, 2292(UK)
BW: 63 pounds

Lucifer, along with two heifers, were imported into Canada by the Lovejoy Family in 1986. They came from Jane Paynters "Knotting" herd in Bedfordshire England.

 "The Knotting Herd” was renowned for its quality and quantity of milk production with a great number of animals achieving the Register of Merit (RM). This is an English Classification for milk yield. To qualify a cow must give not less than 4000 pounds of milk in her first lactation, 5500 pounds in her second lactation, and 6900 pounds in her third lactation, all yields not less than 4% butterfat (BF). A bull must sire not less than 4 daughters meeting these requirements to get their RM.

Lucifer's grandparents all have their Register of Merit. Lucifer’s daughters and grand daughters are part of our herd. This bloodlines gives us a strong foundation for milk production and his daughters and granddaughters have excellent udders.

Elmwood Robson                                 

D.O.B: Sept 3 1995
Color: Red
Reg #: 2586 Canadian, M3272(UK)

Elmwood is the new kid on the block. We imported Elmwood from England 2001, and he is a new red line to the USA and Canada. He has great depth of body and will provide added genetics to our breed. 

Due to the BSE situation between Canada and the US we have been unable to use him. We look forward to the end of the border dispute so as we can see some of his offspring.
