"Daisy is so calm and gentle. It didn't take me long to realize how much I could trust her with my children around. My oldest asks every day when she gets to learn to milk. My middle child is so proud that we own a cow and a calf and loves to share this information with everyone we meet. We have fallen in love with them." ~Anita, Nakusp, BC

Frost's sire is RIVER VALLEY CECE CHROME from Select Sires. Chrome's breeder, River Valley Farm, states that "Chrome is destined to make great uddered, trouble-free, eye-pleasing cows that make everyone ask, "who's her sire." And he's more than just numbers on paper; he comes by his type and udder numbers honestly. He is backed by three generations of excellent cows. His dam, Cece, is EX 91 and one of the favourite cows in the robot milking barn at River Valley. His 94-point tank of a grandam impressed everyone that saw her at Lyon Jerseys with her massive strength, power, and great udder."
I began using Chrome in my breeding program because I was so impressed by his first milking daughters. Talk about amazing udders! Frost's full sisters, BIRDSONG SWEET SUMMERTIME ET and BIRDSONG GYPSY MOON ET, are part of the Birdsong Farm herd and available for viewing. Frost's full brother, BIRDSONG GLACIER FIRE ET, was sold to a dairy farm in the Shuswap that is breeding for A2 genetics.
