Sunny-Hillvue KGA Kaylie will score high Very Good and is making well over 30,000 lbs. milk as a 2 Yr. Old. She was purchased for

the Begert Family of Neilsville, Wisconsin. She is an example of the kind of young cow I like to purchase for my friends and customers. Valspring Holsteins is a family owned and operated business working with the right kind of cows. We have bred and developed a nationally known and award winning herd of 200 milking Registered Holstein cows. Valspring Holsteins was ranked 9th in the nation based on our outstanding classification BAA. Altogether we have bred or developed 16 bulls that were sold or leased to A.I. studs in the U.S. and abroad. In addition we won the prestigious PBR award and developed several cows that earned GMD and DOM. Our herd was also known for tremendous longevity having bred and developed 150 cows over 100,000 lbs. of milk lifetime and 4 cows over 200,000 lbs. of milk lifetime. Currently we are using our knowledge and good eye for cows to order/buy and commission sell cows, heifers and bulls for our friends and customers. Repeat business is our goal. Integrity in our business dealings and quality of the cattle we offer has established many long term relationships and repeat buyers. Les is happy to represent you at sales, dispersals and private treaty transactions. I like to buy cows that I feel have the ability to produce 150,000 – 200,000 lbs. lifetime and are trouble free for my customers.

“Now after purchasing 100 heifers. I know who to call to buy bred heifers”

– Jim Goedert, Colorado

“I Bought 100 head from Les. Many scored VG & EX with records

to over 50,000 lbs. of milk” – Ken Horn, Loyal, WI

“Best cows we ever bought, they are exactly what Les said they would be”

– Josh Verhoog, Manitoba, Canada
