EXCALIBUR SIRES STAFF VISITS GERMANY

            ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA – May 4, 2005 – Picturesque Germany provided an exceptional setting for seven members of Excalibur Sires’ Sales Team to view numerous progeny of sires in the current lineup.

 

            The tour participants viewed progeny of proven sires 204HO0463 MANAGER, 204HO0695 LAUDAN, 204HO9203 MOCK, 204HO5513 STRUNZ, 204HO1205 LEROX, 204HO7286 CADON-RED, and 204HO2913 FABER-RED.  The inspection of these daughters provided a true testament to the accuracy of the German proofs.  Participants reveled in the quality of the German cattle as one that certainly rivals U.S. Holsteins. 

 

            “I was completely blown away by the quality of the Holsteins that we saw in Germany,” said Joe Alves, Sales Representative, Rancho Murieta, Calif.

 

            “U.S. breeders are in for a pleasant surprise when they start milking daughters of German bulls imported by Excalibur Sires,” said Alves.  “I am very confident that when these bulls get numbers based on their American daughters, their proofs are going to go up significantly.”

 

            The tour also traveled to the Excellent Show in the birthplace of the Holstein breed, Leer, East Friesland.  Grand champion honors were claimed by a nine-year-old cow, Tilma (EX-94), sired by the Italian Starbuck son, Bookie.
