EXCALIBUR SIRES RELEASES YOUNG SIRE

ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA – June 27, 2005 – Excalibur Sires is pleased to introduce Pinnacle Point Young Sire, 204HO2037 BIG DADDY.  He continues to be the most popular young sire at Excalibur Sires.

BIG DADDY hails from the Canadian family that excels at virtually everything, as his third dam is none other than Queen of the Breed II finalist, Comestar Laurie Sheik-ET VG-88-5YR-CAN 23*.  Her command of the breed is evident as sires from the family have a 50 percent return-to-service rate.

By Morty, BIG DADDY is from Comestar Storm Daisie-ET VG-87-6YR-CAN 7*, full sister to the number one ranked second crop sire in Canada, Comestar Stormatic.  This phenomenal producer boasts three superior lactations, her best record at 4-04 365d 44,789m 4.9% 2,178f  3.4% 1,532p.  Following in the family’s unmatched transmitting pattern, BIG DADDY displays parent averages of +2.01 PTAT, +1.84 UDC, +1.79 FLC and over +1300 PTAM (02/05 HAUSA). 

Backed by the maternal domination of the Laurie Sheiks, combined with the reliability of second crop success, Morty, BIG DADDY will meet the demands of today’s progressive dairymen.  Contact your local representative today to add BIG DADDY to your breeding program!

BIG DADDY was bred by Lesperron Farm, Bury, Quebec, Canada.
