Pacific's Dam Sweeps Eastern National
ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA –
October 11th, 2007 –
Windy-Knoll-View Pacific’s dam Windy-Knoll-View Pledge
EX-92, cleaned house on the East coast show circuit. First she
was picked as the 1st Place 5 year old at the 44th
Annual All-American Dairy show held in Harrisburg, Penn. She was
then picked as the Show’s Grand Champion!!
The momentum
was then impossible to stop and the winnings REALLY
started to pile up. Pledge combined with her maternal sister
Windy-Knoll-View Pammy VG 88, who was 1st place Sr. 2
year old, to win the Produce of Dam award. Next Pledge and her
daughter Windy-Knoll-View Plush combined to win the Daughter/
Dam class.
Pledge along with her sister Pammy
again
entered the winners circle when they anchored the prestigious
Best Three Females Award. Windy-Knoll-View was then bestowed
with the coveted Premier Exhibitor Award. This was based almost
entirely on points earned by Pledge and family.
To top it all
off the Burdette Family was honored by receiving what many
believe to be the highest award given at any show, that of
Premier Breeder. Incredibly this award was achieved by points
accumulated almost EXCLUSIVELY by Pledge and family. An
incredible accomplishment!!!!
Pledge is
already a seasoned veteran of the winner’s circle. Earlier this
year, she was the first-place 5-year-old and Reserve Grand
Champion at the New York Spring Show. In 2006, she was nominated
as an All-American 4-year-old and was a member of the Reserve
All-American Best Three Females.
With a record
of 4-01 2x 365 41,190 3.8 1577 3.0 1237 Pledge is
definitely a hard worker, too! To top it off, she has a CTPI of
+1816 and is a full sister to Windy-Knoll-View Pronto (Ex-94).
Pledge’s son,
Windy-Knoll-View Pacific, is an exciting addition to Excalibur
Sires’ young sire program. Sired by September Storm, his
granddam, Windy-Knoll-View Promis, 2E-95 GMD DOM, was the
reserve All-American 5-year-old in 2003. In 2006, four of Promis’
daughters (including Pledge) placed among the top 10 in their
classes at World Dairy Expo.
Sincerest
