April proofs reveal changing of the guard!

ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA – April 8th, 2008 –

April showers brought more than May flowers during the new April proofs! The April sire summary saw many household names like Laudan, Bojangles, Leif, Big Daddy, and Delano holding rock solid but also brought in many incredible new bulls to the Excalibur Sires line-up.

Four new proven sires were added by Excalibur Sires during the April proofs.

Lesperon Lewis, provides dairymen a fantastic source of outcross genetics. A Canyon-Breeze Allen son from the Laurie Shiek family, he has come through at +714 Milk, +.03% butterfat and +.02% protein. +2.07 PTAT and +1.32 FLC round out this complete package.

Henkeseen Hurricane-ET joined the ranks of the proven sires with a spectacular production proof!  Hurricane, a Stormatic Son, has an impressive +1124 milk. and +0.04% for protein. Hurricane’s dam is Henkeseen M Hillary-ET 3E-94 GMD DOM who is the dam of 8 Excellent daughters!

Another graduate of the Excalibur Sires Pinnacle Program was Ralma Morty Fillmore-ET. This Morty son debuted at +1522 Milk.  He also boasts an aAa of 516! Fillmore’s Dam, Ralma Juror Faith EX-91 GMD DOM.

Another new bull to Excalibur Sires’ proven sire ranks was Lypoll-Red. Lypoll’s benefits do not end with a nice +.02% fat, a low +2.83 SCS, and a productive life of +2.9. Lypoll is naturally polled so 50% of his offspring are born without horns!

Many bulls already on Excalibur Sires’ proven sire list saw nice increases to their proofs. 

Delano saw an increase in milk bringing him to +643. Delano is easily becoming the bull who makes perfect commercial cows. This is evident with his solid production proof and being +1.86 Type and + 1.51 UDC.

Making another nice jump during the January proofs was Laudan-ET who climbed to +1427 Milk, +1.62 Type, +1.26 F&L bringing him in at an incredible +1819 TPI good for number 13 on the official TPI list.

Laudan’s paternal brother Leif, at 1787 TPI offers many of the same strengths at a much more affordable price. Leif boasts an incredible +0.18% Fat and +0.06% Protein, SCS of +2.64 and a productive life of +4.1. Leif is now being used as a sire of sons by several American bull studs.

Bojangles hangs tough at +1804 TPI, +1.83 PTAT, and +1.81 PL. His daughters continue to impress all those who see them with their width, POWER, and strength.

Lesperron Big Daddy is a Morty son from a VG-87 full sister to Stormatic. This BIG BOY sires Stormatic udders with lots of substance of bone. At +1445 milk 80% Rel. as well as a fantastic aAa: 615. His daughters are turning heads!!!!!
