Jardin descended from one of the best East friesian cow families. His dam Dea EX 91 has so far a lifetime production of 100,000 kg milk.
Jardin daughters are medium to wide framed cows with lots of length and an open rib with average strength. The rump width is normal and can be level. The clean rear legs are sloped at a perfect angle with strong closed feet. The highly and well attached rear udders are eyecatching with perfect teat placement, and a strong suspensory ligament well above the hocks.
With a combination of production, protein and conformation, together with his good values for calving ease and milking spped, Jardin remains a very interesting sire. The first grouopd of 2nd crop daughters made his breeding values increase again.
