The whole herd descends from just one cow, a cow born in 1996. This is the Schmitt family’s 100-cow Ralma herd at Rice, Minnesota. Indeed, for many of these cows the pedigrees traces back to the massive framed Ralma Juror Faith a number of times. Her stamp on this herd is evident everywhere... her width of frame, her depth of rib, and the overall strength and power are trademarks of Ralma cattle.
