Holstein World: What is Cassie & Clasy’’s current status? Milking, flushing, etc. Do you have any offspring on the way from either of them? Perhaps a third generation Jr All-American.

Natzke Family: Cassie calved in December of ”02 with a Stormatic bull. In March of ”03 she was raised to EX-94-EX-95MS at 5-00. The following week she had 150# for the milk tester and exactly three weeks after scoring EX-94 got a twisted intestine and we lost her. Unfortunately, she had no more daughters.

Clasy had a major set back in early November. She spent a week at the Vet Hospital in Madison where she had a six inch wire removed from her stomach and then abscessed. Miraculously, she pulled through surgery and remained pregnant with an ultra sound heifer calf by Durham. Due to this set back she is currently dry and due in early July. Clasy also has one Durham embryo that will be implanted soon.
