Bridge P comes from the renowned Jaantje family, known for sires such as Groenibo Bram, Delta Yeti RF, Delta Jacobus, Delta Yes, and Delta Jawline PP, a proven bloodline in CRV’s breeding program. Currently, four InSire bulls from this family rank at the top, including the top-ranking black-and-white NVI sire Delta Boyan, black-and-white Delta Kevlar PP, and the red-and-white half-brothers Delta Barolo PP and Delta Bridge P. Their dam, Delta Jodieke PP, is a typical Launch daughter with outstanding legs and high components. At the CRV test farm Barendonk Holsteins in The Netherlands, she produced nearly 11,000 kg of milk as a first-calf heifer, with 5.02% fat and 3.62% protein in just 336 days. She scored 84 overall for conformation, including 88 for her legs.
Delta Bridge P - Combining high yields with rich components
They are rare: bulls that combine high milk production with excellent component levels. With 922 kg of milk, +0.54% fat, and +0.19% protein (146 kg of fat and protein and €506 Inet), Delta Bridge P bridges the gap between high production and high components. Production isn’t his only strength. This new InSire bull also improves udder health (107) and hoof health (108). His daughters are expected to score 106 for resilience, meaning they adapt well to changing conditions.
Great legs and high components
Suitable for robots
With Delta Landstar RF as his sire and Delta Launch PP as his maternal grandsire, it’s no surprise Bridge P transmits high components. His excellent leg conformation (106) is also clearly inherited. Daughters of the heterozygous polled Bridge P will move with strength, standing on slightly more curved hind legs (in side view) than average. This gives them a strong, fluid locomotion, making them ideal for robotic milking systems. With a robot index of 107, Bridge P is an excellent choice for farmers using automatic milking. They’ll also appreciate his 104 score for teat length and average placement of rear teats.
