EXCALIBUR SIRES RELEASES IOWA-BRED YOUNG SIRE

ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA – May 31, 2005 –204HO2035 Henkeseen HURRICANE-ET is the newest addition to the Pinnacle Point Young Sire program at Excalibur Sires.

The most exciting Hillary family member yet, HURRICANE hails from a power-packed pedigree—the result of two major league cow families of North America brought together.  On the top side, his sire, Stormatic, brings the renowned legacy of the Laurie Sheik family, and on the bottom side, Henkeseen M Hillary-ET 3E-94 GMD DOM, produces some the world’s most sought after offspring.  HURRICANE possesses the unsurpassed ability to transmit both type and production, with impressive parent averages of +1.79 PTAT and over +1.00 UDC and FLC.  As far as production, he is no exception to the family name, his dam completing her best record of 8-00 365d 2x  42,390m  4.1%  1720f  3.6%  1546p.  His granddam, Henkeseen Mark Marci 3E-94 GMD DOM, also has posted high lactation records and totals over 171,000m lifetime.

Destined for success, and cut from the same mold, HURRICANE is a maternal brother to the dam of 235HO0322 DUPLEX, the international number one type sire at +3.60 PTAT (69% REL).  He’s also a maternal brother to the dam of 204HO2028 HOLLYWOOD (by Derry), a sire-in-waiting at Excalibur.

Backed by the maternal domination of the Hillarys, combined with the dependability of the second crop success sire, Stormatic, HURRICANE is one of the leading pedigreed young sires available.  Contact your local representative today!

HURRICANE was bred by Trent and Leslie Henkes, Luana, Iowa.
