Summer Re-Cap... an Expo Preview?
ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA –
October 1, 2007 –
Sept. 23 marked
the first official day of fall and the end of the summer show
season. While the industry’s attention is now turned toward the
Superbowl of the dairy business – also known as World Dairy Expo
– we’d like to highlight the summer accomplishments of some
Excalibur Sires progeny across the country. And who knows…we
just may be seeing them again in the near future!
Our summer
re-cap starts in Missouri, where Adolph daughter McCulloughs
Adolp Dorrie was named Intermediate Champion at the Missouri
State Fair. The 1st place Jr. 3-year-old was
exhibited by Jeff McCullough of Ash Grove, Mo.
Next we head
north to Iowa where Great Heritage Cookie was the 2nd
place Jr. 2-year-old at the Iowa State Fair. The VG-86 Norman
daughter was exhibited by Leroy Eggink of Sibley, Iowa.
During the same
week in Pennsylvania, another Norman daughter, Miss Riley
Norman, was the 1st place spring calf and Reserve
Junior Champion at the Pennsylvania Holstein Association’s
Central Championship Show. She was exhibited by Ben Miller and
Mark Ream of Markleton, Penn.
Elsewhere in
the Keystone State, Highland-H Adolph Chloe brought home Grand
Champion honors from the Pennsylvania Holstein Association’s
Northwest Championship Junior Show after placing 1st
in the Sr. 2-year-old class. Chloe’s owner is Christy Hindman of
Brockway, Penn.
Our next stop
is New York, where earlier in the summer Adolph daughter Tyrbach
Adolph Lily placed 1st in the Jr. 2-year-old class at
the Central New York Holstein Show. Lily was shown by Jordan
Thomas and Lester Hosking.
We’d like to
congratulate each of these exhibitors and wish them the best of
luck if Expo is in their future.
