Currently Owned by Cindy Weideman - Schon Boden Farms

Productive. Fertile. Docile. Schon Boden's Lydia is Sired by Buckwheat of Gurholt (an Impact sire) and out of Schon Boden's Claire. Claire raised 15 calves over her life-time. Claire's dam, T Y Lady Charity, was a foundation-building cow at Schon Boden Farms who also produced 15 calves. Schon Boden's Lydia is also a paternal sister to Highland Genetics famous donor cow, Schon Boden's Josie. Another Impact Dam, and like Josie, Lydia has those highly sought after "Schon Boden's" qualities. Not only is Lydia in the AHCA Herd book as an *elite* impact dam, but at 14 years old she still sports her larger frame beautifully along with having great feet and a good udder.

Between the years of 2015 and 2024, all of her natural-born calves have been born between April 6th and May 8th. That's nearly a decade's worth of consistent fertility! Her 2025 calf was a dun bull sired by WL Genesis. (Pictured Below)

Her calves are moderately sized and consistently have a strong, deep bodied build. Lydia is long, wide, square, docile, and is a prime example of what longevity should look like in a highly productive cow.
