ABS SUPERIOR SECOND CROP SUCCESSDEFOREST, WISCONSIN - May 11, 2006 – ABS Global strengthened its position as the industry reliability leader with the May Sire Summary results. Second crop success sires like FREDERICK, DRAMATIC, TOUCHDOWN and MODESTO are proving their customer benefits with rock solid daughter results. Global Dairy Product Manager, Scott Bentley states, “ABS is completely committed to providing the industry with highly reliable sires that producers can trust today and tomorrow. We credit the strength of these reliable genetics to our ABS Cornerstone™ Progeny Test Program.”
Adding 340 daughters with the May 2006 Sire Summary data release, 29HO9436 FREDERICK has effectively doubled the number of daughters in his production proof. With his current 729 daughters, he is guaranteed to reach ABS Diamond Sire (1000 milking daughters) status in August. He produces balanced daughters, with outstanding frames and tightly attached udders. These daughters are the perfect fit for the ABS global market place. Often compared to the ABS Million Unit sire 29HO9023 ROY, 29HO9674 DRAMATIC, has led the ABS type parade for several years. His daughters have powerful front ends, and shallow, well attached udders that have a certain stamp of style and appeal. 29HO9899 TOUCHDOWN, scores big once again with 356 new daughters in his production proof. His daughters are long lasting, high fertility cows that are high producing animals in the milking parlor. TOUCHDOWN has been the number one GMS recommended sire for the past three years and continues to pay the bills in every key market around the world. ABS Pregnancy King, 29HO10572 MODESTO, is a Storm son out of a Jordache. He added early second crop daughters and continues to be a breed-leading source of milk, body capacity, and semen fertility.
