DUNLOUISE KINSMAN
REG: AAA 147634O3, Born June 30, 1997 in Angus, Scotland. Faith Valley has had tremendous success with this sire. On our first collection, we produced 39 quality embryos with him, when bred with Rose B101. Our first five embryo calves were heifers that we have been pleased to place in our herd. Two of these daughters, along with their mother tested the highest in the ANSH testing labs history for ovarian reserves, among all cattle breeds tested to date! The high fertility of these heifers is directly attributable to Rose B101, however it is fair to note that Kinsman’s DNA did not impede that success. With all that said, to not have any surviving photos of KINSMAN was a real shame. As an artist I decided to create this artist concept of KINSMAN, based on the observable characteristics of his sire JUMOR ERIC OF ABERNYTE and his son WOODSTONE KINSMAN. This was accomplished by projecting his sire’s head and massive thickness, along with the notable depth of hind quarter onto KINSMAN’s portrayal, basically reproducing JUMOR with more refinement, by the blending of JUMOR with KINSMAN’S own son WOODSTONE KINSMAN. This portrayal represents DUNLOUISE KINSMAN and shall be used for reference in stock sales of his progeny and their promotion.
