In 1976 i was studying medecin in Bologna and, in my spare time, my passion for cows led me to visit the nearby farms.
I met Domenico Campeggi, a very nice person and experienced breeder.

There was a feeling between us, so that when he quit growing up cows, he let me choose a few pure-bred Canadian Holsteins. I chose a heifer, daughter of Rockman, which had struck me. I saw her mother, Donna, an excellent divident clipper, daughter of Thornlea Texal Supreme; a truly impressive animal. The muzzle didn't fit in a hand-palm, the ribs and abdomen mirrored a high productive capacity, the udder was finely detailed and had excellent teats; there were all the requirements for the raising of a good familyOnce home, Alca Rokman Donnetta didn't need much time before becoming the farm symbol.

She easily won fairs, participating either as a heifer and as a stable cow, always remarking her own excellent productivity. Every delivery has been a progress for her, and all her daughters have been following her same steps. Her first-born Posal Citation Olimpia (daughter of Northcroft Admiral Citation has been widely appreciated within the national rings; she's been chosen among the young italian cows for the Cremona european meeting 82. In the stable her milk flows with extreme precision.

The last daughter of Donnetta has been a Starbuck, which has confirmed the family characters: milk parameters, style, show appeal, neat structure, perfect limbs, beatiful udder texture, increasing body capacitance after deliveries. Posal Starbuck Donnetta at her first delivery has given birth to Posal Marv Donnetta whom, after 11 years is still fully working in the farm. Since her first delivery she has shown a great productivity which has increased through the years along with her morphology. Posal Marv Donnetta is excellently qualified. Her genetic power is well demonstrated and increases the morphology of the family through either male and female newborns. Her offsprings: Domo, Donovan, DON...DONAY - can be commented by progeny.

Her daughters produce and reproduce themselves greatly: two young nephews of Posal Marv Donnetta have already successfully participated in the Central-Southern show. A niece, son of DON, has been national champion in the "Primipare" category under 36mths in 1997. By now, many Donnetta cows are rated "very good" and "excellent". All have outstanding productivity, style, milk parameters, udder; they are capable of "growing" after deliveries, they have a long life and an excellent show appeal.
