Excalibur Sires has once
again seen first-hand more of the best international genetics in
the Holstein breed. David Winkels, owner of Excalibur Sires, and
a group from Excalibur Sires recently traveled throughout
Germany to visit farms to see progeny daughters of new bulls and
to attend the 2007German National Holstein Show in Oldenburg.
The group from Excalibur
Sires began their trip by visiting farms that had Jackpot
daughters. Jackpot EX-90 is a nice package of high PTAT
and Productive Life, that has a great aAa of 435. All the
Jackpot’s daughters seen on the tour stood out amongst their
herd mates. “The Jackpot daughters were consistently wide,
strong cows that had incredibly good udders,” said
Paula Bauer, Excalibur Sires Domestic Sales Coordinator.
Another bull that stood out
during the progeny tour was newcomer Juwel! Juwel, is
+1957 Milk and +1.71 PTAT. David Winkels said “The Juwel
daughters are nice straight cows that have fancy udders.” Keep
an eye out for Juwel as Excalibur Sires will be adding him to
their already impressive line-up in the near future!
The Excalibur Sires group
also attended the 2007 German Holstein Show in Oldenburg on June
14th where the group viewed the Individual cow class
judging, Championship judging, and the highly anticipated
Offspring Presentation. The Offspring Presentation brought
groups of 8 daughters from 17 individual sires. Emir daughters
really stole the show. This Juror grandson’s daughters were
really silky, had fancy udders and lots of style to boot.
