Featured Testimonial... Jerry Rappaport, Vermont, USA
 "When I bought the place, the cows were a mix of Holsteins, Jerseys, Brown Swiss…a little bit of everything! If I was going to make this succeed, I needed to take seriously the ‘breeding of a perfect cow’. So I got persuaded to buy a Registered Holstein herd to fill the barn and began from there.” Jerry began to study pedigrees and as he calls it, “took on the assignment very seriously and knew that I needed to buy smart. I used Bill Week’s aAa system, and went through all the processes of mating and matching the cows. This fascination of trying to design the perfect cow had a great impact on me. It required skill, an intense eye and sound judgment.” . . . more here

Klaver Twins Honored for High Lifetime Achievements on February 14, 2009
 Estimates of 200 – 300 friends, neighbors, and industry people recently gathered in Winkel, The Netherlands at the Brothers Klaver dairy farm to celebrate a very special event. Eleven year old twin sisters, MG Neeltje 305 and MG Neeltje 306 had both eclipsed 100,000 kilos of lifetime milk production. The twins milking in their ninth lactation are both healthy competitors in the Klaver herd of 225 cows. John Klaver states that, “The twins are special cows – they will have a lot of influence in the herd through offspring of a son from one of the sisters.”
Brothers Piet, Wim and John with the next generation of Tim, Marcel, and Bas round out the management team that operate Klaver Koe (cow), Klaver Kaas (cheese) and Klaver Geit (goat). In addition to their dairy herd the Klavers process 8 million kilos of milk at their cheese factory and operate a goat herd of 2400 milking goats. Part of the celebration was also for a goat that had produced over 10,000 kilos of lifetime production.
The Klavers began using aAa in 1989. John explains, “The reason we continue to use aAa is because it is simple and it gets results for us – the herd is more uniform and functions better and the calves are born more easily – our herd cull rate is now 18%.” He enthusiastically adds, “There may not be scientific proof but every day aAa proves itself in the barn.”
