The best Aftershock (Shottle x Durham Atlee EX-92 DOM GMD 8*) son in the business received a proof and found a home on the WestGen proof sheet in August. Howard-View Afterhours was bred by Jamie Howard of EastGen, and descends from the heart of the Comestar Laurie Sheik family. His 8* brood cow dam, Lautella, is a VG-87 full sister to Lavanguard, being a Goldwyn daughter of Comestar Lautelma Igniter VG-89 21*. Lautella produced almost 50,000kg of 4.5% fat and 3.5% protein milk in 2 extended lactations.
Afterhours has a very balanced and reliable proof that includes data for 100 daughters in his type proof and 145 for production. If you’re looking for typey cows that fill the milk jar, Afterhours is your bull. He transmits 1975kg of milk improvement, 37kg of fat and 49kg of protein; so he can use protection for components. His 70% GP or better rating on scored daughters earns him a 12 for conformation, and an impressive 14 for Feet & Legs. He consistently sires daughters with correct leg set (12 Set of Rear Legs & 0 RLSV), and deep heel (10). With a 9 for Mammary System, the udders are well attached, both fore (8) and rear (9 RAH) and have very soft texture (10) that assists in pleasing milk speed (106).
Steve Laroche, Progeny Analyst at CIAQ, was impressed after viewing a group of close to 20 daughters. He describes them as very long and stylish with very good front ends, offering something a little different than many of the popular pedigrees recently. He admired their really good udder quality and strong ligaments, along with teat placement that is nicely under the udder. The rear udders are very square, and underneath rumps with good pin setting, that are markedly better sloped than his sire’s pattern. Their feet and legs exhibit quality all the way through.
At 2739 LPI and 1574 Pro$, Afterhours is a very well balanced bull from a reliable cow family that transmits style with a hole-free proof. As an added bonus, he is also free of HCD, even with multiple carriers in his pedigree.
