7JE794 Sunbow ROLF-ET
It is always exciting when a cow family begins with the use
of a straw of young sire semen. This is the case in tracking
the pedigree of 7JE794 ROLF, stemming from one of the best
first crop Declo daughters available. In fact, this grandam,
Declo Denmark VG-88, is also from an initial young sire daughter,
Epoch Belfast EX-90, herself. These two cows started a family
tradition of exceptional 20,000M cows that was carried on
by VG-89 Freedom Dana, the dam of ROLF. This Master Breeder
Herd, Sunbow Jerseys, has always been noted for exceptional
production genetics and 7JE794 carries right on with this
tradition. A fantastic uddered ROLF daughter was showcased
at this year's National Convention daughter display from Chapman
Jerseys in North Carolina. This cow excelled just as the linear
denotes for stature, dairyness, and an ideal set of leg and
feet. Great udder linears follow suit on this productive Jace
son with +1.0 or greater scores for all udder attachments.
Without question, Rolf will make the fancy, productive kind
pleasing owners regardless of herd environment. His use on
Action, Legion, Rocket, Abe and Rebel daughters should make
for balanced young cows built for production, longevity and
top young cow classification scores.
** Great example of
the power of young sire useage
** Jace son with exceptional udder linears
** Ideal mating to the fancy Action daughters abound
** Results from the Master Breeder Herd
7JE762 Altamont
MH FANTOM
Two of the most influential cow families of all time are tied
to the success of this new exciting graduate FANTOM. The Flower
and Maid families are house-hold names in the Jersey fraternity,
and both names appear on the top and bottom of this new graduate.
I'll never forget the day I stopped to see the Hallmark dam
of Phantom. This tall, dairy, perfect uddered young cow simply
stood out of the Zermino herd and has now easily gone on to
be an EX-91 cows. Her dam, Pitino Fiesty EX-93 has always
been a great framed, massive cow that simply milked from strength
and showed her genetic prowess with four EX scored daughters
herself. The third dam, Berretta Finally, is also EX-90, as
is the fourth dam, Lester Fantastic EX-92, fifth dam Sooner
Fame, EX-91, and sixth dam Fascinator Flower EX-90. That makes
SIX generations of EX scored 20,000M dams successively! The
FANTOM daughters really excel in stature, foot angle and udder
depth, all traits of high interest to today's breeders. Combining
this deep pedigree with his great linear make 7JE762 an ideal
cross on Paramount, Jace, Jacinto, Impuls, and Artist daughters.
The added benefit of high health traits make FANTOM today's
modern sire of choice.
** Pedigree of the breed
greats…Flower and Maid
** Exceptionally deep maternal line, 6 generations of EX dams
** High health traits for the modern kind
** Breed leader for shallow udders
7MS344 Blissful
Diamond SAM
Select Sires dedicates its sire development program to adding
the very best to all breed programs regardless of color and
new Milking Shorthorn 7MS344 SAM has been sought after for
several months already. This unique pedigreed proven graduate
stems directly from the breed's number one cow, EX-91 Pepper
Sophia. This EX-MS cow at 5-4 produced an amazing 27,220M
1,265F 907P and in her 4th lactation. The VG-87 grandam also
has a serious of 2-0, 3-0, and 3-11 records for optimal reproductive
performance. With only 3 daughters officially classified to
date, there is not official data to publish. However breeders
from around the country have been more than pleased with the
results and requesting semen for several months already. His
use on the numerous Othello daughters could make the Madison
kind that contribute to the monthly milk checks nicely as
well.
** Unique pedigree with
elite status dam
** Top production with elite type
** Ideal cross on the Othellos

test and exceptional type! Sired by the breed's #1 type sire,
7GU360 TILLER, YOGIBEAR sires outstanding frames, sensational

for health traits, 7GU302 GOLIATH. This combination of high
milk with elite fat %, show style type and a hint of longevity
(+1.0PL) will make YOGIBEAR a sire of sons and a popular choice
for the most discriminating breeders. YOGIBEAR should be a
good mating for daughters of 7GU379 BANGER, 7GU366 LEWIS,

Z SPECIAL-ET
SPECIAL is just what his name implies! As the breed's first
proven Regis son available, SPECIAL brings impressive production
to his daughters at +1076 Milk. His +1.8 Type is no accident
based on his sire stack and the contribution of his EX-92-EX-91-MS
Gold Star Dam, Jens Gold Royal Oak Z Spruce. An original progeny
test daughter of 7GU330 ROYAL OAK, Spruce was the All American
Total Performance Cow and Honorable Mention All; American
Aged Cow in 2004. Spruce produced nearly 115,000 of milk lifetime
with a 5.2% butterfat and 3.4% protein averages in five lactations.
As expected, SPECIAL will sire high, wide rear udders with
a great combination of width and dairy strength. The mating
of SPECIAL to daughters of Mentor, Challenge, Spider and Skipper
should produce the results that breeders will really like!
