And that\u2019s saying a lot for the family behind the two-time Master Breeder herd from Northern Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam, Colin, Mark, their father Adrian, and Mark\u2019s wife Mandy love nothing more than examining the cow families, and proofs of global Holsteins. Their Clydevale herd is testament to this dedication. But now milking 500 cows year-round under a barn, their technology requires specific cows. \u201cThere is a bit of a limit in what we can use with robots,\u201d Adam said. \u201cAny bulls that throw close rear teats or short teats, they are hard to milk with robots. This limits the pool, especially in Reds, because a lot of Reds have short teats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to this their requirement for positive milk and Daughter Pregnancy Rate bulls, finding a Red Holstein to fit their system hasn\u2019t been simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/absbullsearch.absglobal.com\/details\/bull\/29HO17459\/D\/AUS\/HO\/EN\/USA\/AUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hoogerhorst DG OH RUBELS RED<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s a good allrounder,\u201d Adam said. \u201cThey are good cows to work with, they have good temperaments, are aggressive feeders, get back in calf and are milking well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RUBELS RED made history in the recent Australian Breeding Values (ABV) release as the highest Type proven Holstein. Ranked at number 17 on the ABV Holstein proven list, he\u2019s also the most successful Red Holstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clydevale Holsteins has nine RUBELS RED daughters, five are in the milking herd \u2013 one just finished its first lactation \u2013 two are on the point-of-calving and one is at joining age. An outcross sire, the Dees used RUBELS RED across Red Holsteins and red-factor Black and White Holsteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His heifers are not only paying their way in the vat, but they are also \u201cmilking themselves\u201d \u2013 a valuable characteristic for robotic dairy farmers. \u201cIt\u2019s a big time saver, if they all milked themselves we\u2019d save a lot of time,\u201d Adam said. \u201cThat\u2019s because we always have to collect some (for milking) in the morning and at night, we don\u2019t want to leave it to chance. The RUBELS, we never have to collect them, when we release the robot, after milking the collected cows, the RUBELS are standing there, ready to be milked, and a little annoyed they had to wait.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s this assertiveness at the robot and feed face that ensures RUBELS REDs are low maintenance cows. Clydevale Rubels Bambino has a PI of 113 and at 292 days in milk was still producing 26.5 litres a day with 4.3 per cent butterfat and 3.6 per cent protein. She milked herself more than three times a day on average throughout her first lactation. Clydevale Rubels Rosa is on track to produce 9500 litres in her first location, with 4885 litres under her belt at 158 days in-milk. A PI of 105 and 4.2 per cent fat and 3.9 per cent protein \u2013 her average production across her lactation has been 31litres\/day. Both these heifers were also pregnant from their first joining of conventional semen, calving in at 24 months-of-age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam also scored the RUBELS RED heifers well for their likeability, temperament, and milking speed, with the robots confirming they were all above average when it came to milking speed. Sexed RUBELS RED was also used recently to breed their black and white Colt45 daughter of the North American World Dairy Expo Champion Red Cow Blondin Destry Sally. \u201cIt was the last sexed RUBELS RED we had in the tank,\u201d Adam said. \u201cWe thought \u2018let\u2019s try and get a heifer out of her\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clydevale herd includes less than 100 Red Holsteins out of a total 1200 females. A move into Red and White Holsteins was inspired by the increase in marketability of these animals and the launch of an annual specialist Red and White Holstein competition at Bendigo. \u201cThe Victorian Winter Fair, it\u2019s the first to have a standalone Red show \u2013 the only in the country,\u201d Adam said. \u201cIf we haven\u2019t got Reds, it is part of the show we can\u2019t participate in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dee family use a lot of sires, joining all the time, they \u201chand mate\u201d every cow to correct faults. Type is a huge consideration for breeding as they believe breeding conformation correctly is the key to good cows that milk well and last a long time. Their initial interest in RUBELS RED was underpinned by his outcross pedigree, but his \u201call round\u201d proof cemented his place in the herd. \u201cThere are no major holes (in his proof) you have to worry about, he is a pretty easy bull to use,\u201d Adam said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"732\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/11\/RS12132_210707-13-Hoogerhorst-DG-OH-Rubels-Red-.jpg.webp?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/11\/RS12132_210707-13-Hoogerhorst-DG-OH-Rubels-Red-.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/11\/RS12132_210707-13-Hoogerhorst-DG-OH-Rubels-Red-.jpg.webp?resize=300,214 300w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/11\/RS12132_210707-13-Hoogerhorst-DG-OH-Rubels-Red-.jpg.webp?resize=768,549 768w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/11\/RS12132_210707-13-Hoogerhorst-DG-OH-Rubels-Red-.jpg.webp?resize=1024,732 1024w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/11\/RS12132_210707-13-Hoogerhorst-DG-OH-Rubels-Red-.jpg.webp?resize=1536,1097 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hoogerhorst DG OH RUBELS RED ticks production and type goals<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-red-holstein-ticks-production-goals-in-western-victoria\"><strong>Red Holstein ticks production goals in Western Victoria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Finlayson breeds for production and type \u2013 in that order.

They also have plans to use him again within their stud Fire Lake Holsteins \u2013 but this time as a proven sire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the RUBELS RED heifers produced 8000 litres in her first lactation, just shy of the entire 80-cow herd annual average of 9200 litres. Her diet included pasture, hay and 1.5 tonnes of grain in the bail. But it was the weather conditions \u2013 an extended cold and wet winter and spring \u2013 that made this lactation one to admire. \u201cAny cattle that milked well this year are good cattle because of the season, the way it was,\u201d ABS Western Victoria Key Account Manager Rex Barry said. \u201cThat winter, it went so long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This RUBELS RED was Paul and Karen\u2019s second highest production heifer in the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was also classified 84. The other RUBELS RED came in at 83. They also had exceptional cell counts, contributing to the Finlaysons\u2019 award-winning annual bulk milk cell count average of 40,000 cells\/ml. This wasn\u2019t surprising, for Rex. RUBELS RED has a cell count of 174 with a reliability of 82 per cent. He said it\u2019s these figures, his production and well-rounded proof that\u2019s made RUBELS RED popular with commercial farmers. \u201cReds, when they came out, they were just show cattle,\u201d Rex said. \u201cNow, they don\u2019t just fit into a commercial herd, they do really well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milking their cows using robotics, the Dee family are now stricter with their breeding criteria than ever before.
