A well
performing and respected deep Italian cow family, known
for their stunning type and awesome udders. Thanks to
high genomics and an outcross pedigree the Lidia's
came to bloom in the Netherlands. Ideal cows for the
modern dairy breeder.
It was in 1986, I think we were 16 or 17 years old. We just started to
get passion for show cows and knew a bit about type and genetics. Our
father gave us a free hand in buying Ronchi Mars Pamela at a sale. She
was one of our frst show type cows in the herd. Guiseppe Beltramoni
can still remember how he and his family came into the Bertaiola
Lidia's. She was about 1000 euro more expensive then the average on
that sale, but it was worth every cent. Pamela was for the Beltramino's
the start of breeding their own strong cow family with high 'farmers
satisfaction' that came -thanks to high genomics- in the picture of all
major AI-centers in the world. Te frst feat of arms: Mincio, sired by
Bolton, the number 14 in Italy with 2.92 for type and more then 4.0 for
udders. And there is much more to come.
Eyecatchers in the barn
Pamela was without a doubt a good catch. She scored 91 for type and
was for a long period the eyecatcher in the barn. She had the peak in
her career in 1988 when she became reserve grand champion on our
regional show, Guiseppe remembers. Te grand champion at that
show was Alpag Chief Millymilk, the mother of Boss Iron. Te
Semenzoo sireanalyst laughs. He is the bull that played a key role in
the further development of the Lidia's.
In combination with Inspiration, Pamela delivered Pamy who scored
VG 85. She lost one quarter and never could become excellent, but in
potential she had huge show talent. Te best thing Pamy did was to
give birth to Mark Susanne, sired by Chief Mark. She became grand
champion on our provincial show and was nominated to represent
Italy on the European show in 2002 in Brussels, tells Guiseppe about
the VG 89 cow. What else could you wish for in a cowfamily? Guiseppe
knows the answer: Bel Astre Unforgettable, the daughter of Mark
Susanne. Te Astre was also an extreme producer. For a long time she
was by far the best in our barn for production in milk and protein.
With EX-91she also continued the tradition of high type. Her udder
was tremendous, Guiseppe remembers. On shows she always won
the prices for best udder. Unforgettable was fushed several times,
among others with Mtoto. It resulted in Bel Mtoto Elisa VG-85, the
mother of the excellent Bel Iron Irene EX-90. Irene has 5 sons in AI,
under which 2 Bolton sons, one of them is Mincio.
Cow for modern breeders
Mincio can be found in the Semenzoo barns and is one of the best
Bolton sons worldwide. An easy to sell bull, describes Semenzoo
