Thanksgiving came one day early this year for Jason Luttropp of Lost-Elm Jerseys in Berlin, Wisconsin, when the US Jersey Executive Secretary informed him that a Jersey classifier committee had unanimously agreed to raise Maplebrough Joel Sue‘s classification score to Excellent-96.
Sue came to Wisconsin in early 2024 through the Clarkvalley sale in Canada. Tim Natzke spotted her and thought that she would make a worthy addition to Jason’s herd. Her first score in the US was at 94 points. Later after freshening again, she was raised to 95 points. Now fresh again just two months, 96 is the new number.
A daughter of Guiimo Joel, her dam is Maplebrough Tequila Suzy VG-88-CAN. She has two Victorious daughters at Lost-Elm. Sue will begin IVF shortly.
