Regal Morchel
According to a press release, the present world record holder for lifetime milk production has
been put down on May 5, 2010. Studach's Regal Morchel, a Rapture El Regal daughter born
on February 9, 1987, produced in her lifetime 197'000 kg of milk in 6994 days and 14
lactations.
Her milk components were 3.44%fat and 3.44% crude protein. This equals 434'310 pounds
of milk, 14'930 pounds of fat and 14'921 pounds of protein, making her the world record
holder for lifetime production of the breed.
Morchel spent her lifetime on the farm of the Studach family in Moerschwil, at a 10 minutes
drive from the city of St. Gallen. She last calved on August 20, 2006, with a heifer calf by
Bruget, and her last test on April 26, 2010 was 6.0 kg. Morchel goes back to Rapture El
Regal, from a dam sired by Johann Proud Matthew (W) with a lifetime production of 74398kg
or 164019 pounds, then a cow sired by Darwin, a Beautician (A) son, and after that Original
Braunvieh.
Hats off to the Studach family and a special thank you for proving the longevity, productivity
and sturdiness of our breed!
