And the award goes to...Adolph!

ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA – January 19th, 2007 –

It’s awards time in Hollywood and the same could be said of the Holstein industry. One bull whose daughters are picking up trophies left and right
is TRI-DAY ADOLPH.

As Adolph daughters continue to get noticed across the country,
JOLEANNA ADOLPH GEORGIA RAIN is no different. This winter calf owned by Katy Johnson of Unadilla, N.Y., was recently nominated Junior All-American Winter Calf. Georgia Rain was also named the Jr. All-New York Winter Calf at the 2006 Junior All-New York awards. She earned these accolades after placing first in her class at the International Junior Holstein Show and first in both the junior and open divisions of the New York Spring Holstein Show. Congratulations, Katy, on developing this outstanding young heifer!

Adolph, whose daughters have three previous All-American nominations, has earned a reputation for putting show-winning style, size and strength into his offspring. He also sires the functional traits cows need – sound feet and legs and strong udder attachments.

The success of Adolph’s progeny is not surprising considering his family is no stranger to show business. Adolph’s full sisters include the famed TRI-DAY ASHLYN, EX-96, 2001 World Dairy Expo Supreme Champion; and TRI-DAY ADEEN, EX-93, a four time All-American. Adolph has 12 more sisters scored EX-91 or higher, each with an impressive list of championship titles and All-American honors.

An Excellent-94 Encore son, Adolph has been designated an Excalibur Sires Purple Rosette Sire. While his daughters’ classification scores keep getting higher, some of his best-known Excellents include Ziems TDA Sonja, EX-94, Milbro Adolph, EX-92.

Excalibur Sires, based in Rochester, Minnesota, is the fastest growing A.I. company in North America. In cooperation with global partners, Excalibur Sires progeny tests over 1,000 Holstein young sires a year. For more information, please contact your local representative or call the office directly
