Roy becomes top lifetime production bull at ABS

Another exciting milestone is surpassed by ABS sire 29HO9023 ROYlane Jordan-ET EX-95. He is now the number one semen production bull of all time at ABS. As of Jan. 1, 2007, ROY has produced 1,229,945 units that have passed ABS quality control measures and been made available for sale to dairy producers. The previous title holder was 29H5296 SOUTHWIND Bell of Bar-lee.

"With outstanding daughters located around the world, ROY is becoming one of the most influential type sires in the history of the Holstein breed and is creating a global legacy," stated Dick Smith, ABS Sire Analyst and Manager of ABS Dairy Sire Selection.

ROY is a high type sire (+2.47) siring high scoring and show winning daughters in every dairy market in the world. With a +2.43 Udder Composite, this outstanding JUROR son is one of the premier udder improvers of all time. ROY is also a Diamond Sire (over 1,000 milking daughters) and a Calving Ease Specialist at 6% CE.

ABS Production Manager, Eliza Roberts stated, "Extreme customer satisfaction with ROY daughters has continued the exceptional demand and hence the need for continued production. His high lifetime semen production and quality has allowed semen to be readily available for dairymen around the world."

"ROY has always been a favorite among the barn staff," added Mike Karls, Holstein Hilton Barn Supervisor. "He is a great looking bull at 10 ? years of age and is always a pleasure to work with."

ROY tops an elite class of ABS bulls worldwide in providing high customer satisfaction genetics for a continuous number of years. He headlines the ABS Millionaires Club (1 million units produced) that also includes SOUTHWIND, 29H8343 Wal-Del CONVINCER-ET and 29H8538 Regancrest RBK DIE-HARD-ET.
