sale includes a fantastic selection of top class
cattle with world class pedigrees to once again
provide Holstein breeders with cutting edge
investment opportunities that are sure to en-
hance any herd or breeding operation. As this
global industry progresses, particularly through
the introduction of genomics, there has never
been a better time for breeders to take advantage
of the many exciting opportunites that the 2010
Holland Masters Sale will surely provide!”
Contracts
A great reason to buy in the Holland Masters Sale, is the fantastic op-
portunity to have a fast return of your investment through the big
numbers of bull and embryo contracts the animals sell with. Con-
tracts are made by Major World Wide AI stations, breeders and inves-
tors. Due to these reasons you have the opportunity to get revenue
from your heifer, even before she has calved.
Genomics
One of the World’s newest innovations in the Holstein breed of the
last few years is the introduction of Genomics. Genomics is a very
helpful selection tool for AI stations to select their bulls, but for the
female animals Genomics will have a more and more important role
as well. There is a hugh market for embryos, bulls and live stock from
the high Genomic animals. In the 2010 Holland Masters Sale some of the
World’s very best Genomic animals will sell, most of the sale animals

Willem’s Hoeve Rita
The Rita’s
please the eye
There is no other cow family associated with Holland as
much as the Rita’s. In this issue of Hotspots we examine
how this family continues to deliver pleasing type, whilst
continuing to stay at the forefront of the current Dutch
legion of bull mothers.
Origin
The first Rita was purchased by De Willem’s Hoeve in 1992 on a
dispersal sale not far from Utrecht. The breeder selling his Rita’s
was Mr. Verhage from Koudekerke in Zeeland. Mr. Verhage is now
retired but he remembers his Rita’s very well. “The Superstar was a
strong, deep bodied production cow. Her Tops daughter was more
refined and also a nicer cow to look at” says Mr Verhage who was
one of the first in Holland to use Holstein bulls such as Pabst Ideal.
This first Rita that came to Buren was sired by Myhre-Mint Valiant Dick, Wim and Anneke de Jong: We want to keep breeding for good

with the family intensively for a long time. “ At Alta Genetics, the 3

“The success of the proven sires helped us We think the Rita’s are really intriguing”. Also Henk Buijs from CRV
