ROY REIGNS #1 AROUND THE WORLDDEFOREST, WISCONSIN -August 12, 2005 - 29HO09023 ROYlane Jordan continues to impress ABS Global customers around the world. "ROY has generated considerable interest in Australia attracting the attention of registered and commercial producers alike," stated Graeme Gillan, ABS Australia Sire Analyst. ROY is the true high type leader in many global markets. He is now recognized as perhaps the world’s finest improver of type and udders. He is +17 Final Class in Canada ranking him among the top five in the country. On top of it all, this outstanding JUROR son is also a Calving Ease Specialist at 6% CE. Mark Smith, Dairy Product Development Manager of Genus says, "ROY is now well established in the UK as one of the all time greats. With an overall Type Merit of +3.16 in the UK he ranks 4th on the list of UK proven bulls for type but 1st in Udder Composite with a score of +3.27." Furthermore, ROY is siring high scoring and show winning daughters in many markets, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan and the UK. Olmar Roy Crystal, VG-89, was recently the 1st place Junior-Three-Year-Old, Intermediate Champion, Best Bred and Owned, and Reserve Grand Champion at the Minnesota State Holstein Show. Crystal is owned by Floyd Marti and Rachell Hunnicutt of Minnesota. The impressive records don’t stop in the U.S. Valeoskene Roylane Cobby, owned by B & L Whitfield & Sons of the UK, has a score of VG-88 with a show record to be envied. Cobby was 1st Place Junior-Two-Year-Old and Reserve Champion Milking Heifer at the Dairy Scot Show in Scotland in 2004. High scoring daughters of ROY can be found around the world. In the past two months alone, ROY has had over 36 daughters score VG-85 or above including Ocean-View Roy Sheena-ET who posted a score of VG-88 at two years old and recently was the 2nd place Senior Two-Year-Old and Best Bred and Owned at the 2005 Spring Western National Show.
