Jun 29, 2022 ![](https://air.certifiedagdealer.com/hubfs/Holstein%20-%20DOC%20sells%20for%201.9%20Million%206-22.jpg) Did that Holstein cow really sell for nearly $2 million? If so, why? Yes, she did! S-S-I Doc Have Not 8784-ET, also simply known as “Doc”, sold on June 11 at the Summer Selections II Sale in Wisconsin. The four-year-old Holstein cow is not only good looking but combines some of the best genomics in the business. **Genetic markers** Genomics is more than just a buzzword - it is the sequencing of genetic materials in DNA that play a role in helping dairymen breed better cattle. Using Predicted Transmission Ability, dairymen can predict individuals’ likelihood of passing on desirable traits. Genomic Total Performance Index summarizes dairy-related traits that each particular animal possesses. **She’s a proven transmitter** More than just a pretty face, Doc has already produced three calves and most recently calved on April 8, 2022. She sold with an additional 40 pregnancies carried by recipients to a syndicate: AOT Holsteins and Kings-Ransom Farms of New York, Tim and Sharyn Abbot of Vermont, and Mike and Julie Duckett of Wisconsin. Her daughters carry high Genomic Total Performance Index values and predicted transmitting ability for type. Doc has already produced three offspring with a consistently impressive number.  **She has a deep pedigree** This one in a million cow traces back ten generations to the great cow Snow-N Denises – one of the best cows the Holstein breed has ever seen. The new owners helped develop Doc by raising prior generations of excellent relatives. **What’s in store for Doc?** “Last year, at Madison, Doc was considered the most valuable cow on the grounds,” said Dan Cnossen of Cnossen Dairy. “She has the genomic numbers that intrigue many A.I. companies worldwide and incredible phenotypic type.” Editor’s Take: An amazing price for one Holstein cow. It just goes to demonstrate that being the best in whatever field you are in pays big dividends. Based on this cow’s pedigree, those lucky enough to receive her genetics will reap rewards for generations to come.
