Bossink Red Volvo is an impressive bull from a deep cow family. The Mirandas, bred by the Dutch Red & White Breeder of the Year 2019, Gerrit van der Kolk, embody the old-fashioned breeding concept of quality like no other family. 

The flagship cow of this family is the Incas daughter Miranda 113. This beautiful, balanced cow has a very functional build and milks with ease. Her lifetime production is in excess of 80,000 kg of milk with 4.61% fat and 3.66% protein. Her daughter Miranda 133, dam of Red Volvo, is not inferior to her in terms of quality either. Her great width and exceptional balance impress anybody inspecting her. In her first five lactations she produced more than 56,000 kg of milk with 5.42% fat and 4% protein. These high levels of solids are a family trait. The first five generations of dams behind Red Volvo have an average of 5.13% fat and 3.90% protein over their lifetime productions. 

They are also classified with an average of 90 points. To illustrate the depth and consistency of the family: the 6th and 7th generations are EX cows that have given more than 100,000 kg of milk!

Red Volvo's sire is Bossink Red Max, also bred by Van der Kolk. Red Max is a Curtis son from Bossink Gerda 47, an impressive Jotan daughter, classified EX92. She was very successful at shows, including a title at the Twente After Summer Show and an honorable mention among the older cows at the 2017 NRM. 

Gerda 64, the full sister of Red Max, classified EX92, represented the Netherlands at the European Championships in 2019. She is now in her seventh lactation and is in better shape than ever. 

Red Max impresses with his well-balanced offspring that radiate breed character and quality. He has also been used extensively internationally and has been used as a sire of sons by several organisations.

If the old-fashioned concept of 'quality' means anything to you, Red Volvo is your choice! As a bonus you get balance, width, depth, locomotion, superb solids and red!
