ABS’ BOLTON GRADUATES TO TOP OF TPI LIST
DEFOREST, WISCONSIN - May 9, 2006 - ABS Global new release 29HO11111 Sandy-Valley BOLTON-ET *TL*TV claimed the top spot on the May 2006 Holstein Association USA TPI® List following the release of sire summary data on May 8. "BOLTON exemplifies the strength of our globally proven, highly reliable line-up," stated Scott Bentley, Global Dairy Product Manager. "We attribute the success of BOLTON and other ABS sires to the ABS Cornerstone™ Progeny Test Program, the foundation of ABS Dairy Genetics.” BOLTON is “generating electricity” around the world. He is backed by an outstanding pedigree as he comes to ABS from the world renown Sandy-Valley Blessing-ET VG-88 DOM at Sandy Valley Farms in Scandinavia, Wisc. Behind Blessing, one of CONVINCER’s finest daughters, is the famous Ricecrest Bwood Brianne-ET VG-88 GMD DOM and then the great Ricecrest Southwind Kay-ET VG-87 GMD DOM. As a Lexvold Luke Hershel-ET son, BOLTON combines the style, balance, udders and type of his dam with the outstanding legs and production of his sire to offer producers the complete production and type package at +1949 TPI. In addition to his high TPI, BOLTON is an industry leader in Udder Composite at +2.52 and Type at +2.14, Milk Production at +2339 pounds of milk and components at +92 pounds Fat and +62 pounds Protein. All of this production and type equals more profits for producers as he is at +584 Net Merit Dollars. BOLTON sires the correct kind. His daughters are tall, long, open, stylish cows with superior udders. Being over 2 points on all udder traits, he transmits shallow, exceptionally high, wide rear udders with outstanding fore udders. These daughters also possess ideal feet and legs with a great foot angle to make long-lasting profits. This Hershel son will cross well on daughters of BOSCO, GORDON, OZZIE, TOUCHDOWN, ELLIPSIS, Durham, Morty, Blitz and Outside.
