"The Rosebuds"

From the Rhythmic Riki Family

The Rhythmic Riki cow family is my favorite cow family of the Brown Swiss Breed; more specifically the Rosebud branch of this family. The Rosebuds hold a special place in my heart as they were the first cow family I bought into when I purchased Jo-Dee Victor Radiant. The Rosebuds are triple threats; they win shows, fill the bulk tank, and reproduce! They simply do not miss a beat! Scroll down to see the family tree and find out more about the Rosebuds that call Richardson Gentics home.

Rosebud was an anchor for the Jo-Dee Swiss show string for many years. Her son Richard is one of the top bulls available in AI. When her Glenn daughter, Rosette, was offered in the Kash-In on Valentines Day Sale, I knew it might be the only chance to own a direct daughter. What a thrill it was to purchase Rosette! Check her out below along with her sister Risky who I've been able to IVF.

Risky may be my all time favorite Swiss. It has been a dream come true to work with Jodi Zepeda on IVF'ing this amazing cow.

The first daughter of Risky was born in March by Jongleur!

Embryo's in the tank by some of the greatest bulls in the breed!
