All New Zealand sires offer exceptional fertility and longevity. Because of the New Zealand market reimbursement based on milk solids rather than liquid milk as in the U.S., New Zealand sires have high fat and protein percentages. N.Z sires have been bred to produce cows that thrive in pasture-based systems for decades.
Hawthorne Grove Zeus is a very popular New Zealand sire.Hawthorne Grove Zeus’ daughters are small in stature relative to other NZ Jersey cows who are shorter than American Jerseys.His daughters have an average of 5.7% fat. His daughters are noted for being capacious (rather than frail) and having excellent udder and dairy conformation.
Maximus was sold in 2018 as a herdsire for a farm in Illinois.
Maximus has sired two heifers at Blue Mill Meadows, Opal and Amethyst before he was soled to a farm in Illinois.
