ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA –
May 17th, 2007 –
The bids are in
and Lichtblick daughters have been hot items in this year’s
spring sales on both sides of the border. In Wisconsin, Dynamic
Lichtblick Spa-Red was third-high seller in the Dynamic
Attractions II Sale, while Lorka Zacha Lichtblick was a top
consignment on Quebec’s National Spring Sale.
Dynamic Lichtblick Spa-Red
Dynamic
Lichtblick Spa-Red is a smokin’ hot fall calf out of a VG-86
September Storm daughter. Consigned by sale hosts Dr. Paul and
Carold Knier, Spa’s granddam is the popular Ricecrest Terry
Tory, 2E-93. Spa sold to Jerry Jorgenson, Mich., and Andy
Carter, Ill., for $9,800. With her height, dairy strength and
awesome feet and legs so characteristic of Lichtblick’s
offspring, we are likely to see Spa at the top end of the line
during several shows this summer.
Lorka Zacha
Licthblick is another fancy red and white heifer with loads of
potential. This Lichtblick summer yearling is out of Gen-I-Beq
Igniter Sacha, VG-88 CAN. Zacha, who sold for CAN $7,600, was
consigned by Lorraine Lemay and Carl Marquis of Lorka Farm.
With a TPI
of +1456 Lichtblick-Red gives you the red color you want and the
numbers you need. Lichtblick is also an outcross sire whose
daughters consistently calve in with great functional type,
plenty of style and production well above average. In fact,
Lichtblick is +561 milk, +.04% protein and +1.77 PTAT. So ask
your Excalibur Sires Breeding Advisor for Lichtblick next time
he or she comes around so you too can cash in your chips on this
great red and white sire.
