The influence of Excalibur Sires breeding was evident in the show ring at the 43rd All-American Dairy Show. Ziems TDA Sonja EX-94, sired by Tri-Day Adolph, placed second in the 125,000 lb. cow class. She finished just behind the show’s grand champion, Cameron-Ridge BC Lisa. Owned by Ziem-Barb-Way of Aurora, N.Y., Sonja’s accomplishments at Harrisburg will be added to an already impressive listing of show ring honors. Be sure to look for this phenomenal Adolph daughter on the list of 2006 All-American nominees.

Three heifers by Excalibur Sires bulls also placed among the top ten in their respective classes. Dochaven Norman Patrice finished sixth in the spring heifer calf class. This fancy Highland-H Stormin Norman daughter is owned by Jeff McKissick of New Castle, Pa.

Another Adolph daughter, Five Forks Adolph Diamond, was among the top ten summer yearlings. Diamond, who was also named reserve junior champion at the Pennsylvania State Spring Show, joins an emerging group of show-stopping Adolph daughters across the country. She is owned by Ronnie and Pamela Morse of Five Forks, Pa.

Highland-H Lee Sully sired the eighth-place spring yearling, Highland-H Sully Scout. An Excalibur Sire’s purple rosette young sire, Sully is a Lee son of Highland-H Norman Sunshine EX-92. With an aAa of 165, Sully is the epitome of dairy style. Scout is owned by Chirsty Hindman of Brockway, Pa.
