Road to Expo traveled well by bull daughters

ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA – October 24th, 2007 –

The bulls at Excalibur Sires had an incredible turnout of daughters and full-sisters at the World Dairy Expo this month! These daughters and full-sisters did not only shine in Madison but also at many of the local and regional shows they went to along the way!

Joleanna Adolph Georgiarain

Tri-Day Adolph-ET EX-94 had a daughter in the Spring Heifer Calf class that showed well. Miss Adolph Starshet, owned Bill Scott & Gary Yorton of Oakdale, PA, placed 2^nd at the Wisconsin State Championship earlier this summer. Another Adolph daughter who showed well at Expo was Joleanna Adolph Georgiarain. Georgiarain, a Winter Yearling Heifer owned by
Katy Johnson of Unadilla, NY, caught everyone’s attention in Madison. She also got a lot of attention at the Delaware County Fair where she took 1st place, the New York State Fair where she placed 3^rd place, and the NY Spring Holstein Show where she placed 2^nd!

White-light Adolph Krayon, owned by White Light Holsteins in Salesville, OH, also made Adolph proud at the World Dairy Expo. Krayon, a Senior 2-Yr-Old Cow class, placed 2^nd at the Ohio State Fair and was named Reserve Intermediate Champion at the District 3 Show in Ohio earlier this year.

Adding some color to the line-up was Lichtblick-Red_Red who had two daughters shown at the World Dairy Expo. Henkeseen L Lipstick-Red-ET was 1^st Intermediate Calf at the Grand International R&W Junior Show at the World Dairy Expo. Lipstick is no stranger to the show ring being named as the Reserve Junior All-Iowa Int. Calf at the Iowa State Holstein Show and 2^nd at the Iowa State Fair 4-H Show. Lipstick, whose Dam is an EX-91 Rubens, also placed 1^st Int. Calf and Junior Champion at the Iowa District One Junior and Open Shows.
