The first bull acquired by Breeders Choice Sires was Juno Rocco of Nettle Creek ET, the last son of Billings Top Roseanne  (EX 96%)  -- sired by "Juno" -- whom we sold to Taurus Service, like us an admirer of the "Roseanne" cow's deep family inheritance.   As 76JE 123, he eventually proved out to be one of their leading bulls on the longevity indicator PTA "Productive Life".

"Rocco" has a full sister, named JUNO ROSEANNE OF NETTLE CREEK  (EX 92%)  who is now a brood cow in her own right, with EX daughters from three different sires.    Through "Juno Roseanne", the "Rose" cow line can now boast ten generations of EX females in direct maternal line.

John and Brenda Lewis of Jerome, MI, have one of the better Jersey breeding herds in Michigan, one of the few who give JVB Red Hot Jerseys some State Fair competition (recently showing the State Fair Futurity winner) -- milking around 40 cows.     They acquired "C TOPS RASCAL" as a calf from his well known breeder, Dr Rick Dalessandro of Richmond, IN, using him first on heifers, and the first milking daughters are within their small, select herd.

We saw him at Lewis' and decided that he was phenotypically somewhat a reincarnation of his famous grandsire "Juno" -- taller and stretchier than his uncle "Rocco", more dairy than his sire "C Tops".

When Lewis' could no longer deal with a bull of his size, we agreed to a joint semen collection and brought "Rascal" to the market, for those who liked the "Juno" look.
