"ABS is pleased to offer Jersey breeders these two new balanced sires," stated Dick Smith, ABS Jersey Sire Analyst and Manager of ABS Dairy Sire Selection.

He fulfills our desire to offer a Hallmark son with a solid plus proof for Fat test." IATOLA is a high type PARAMOUNT son who has generated great interest in the show ring.
