Proof Highlights from St. Jacobs ABC

By Brian Behnke and Tim Abbott
94HO13666 DESTRY*RC remains your solid choice for high type, high reliability bulls. He now has over 6,500 daughters scored
and remains over 2 on type and udders. Combine that high type with a 3.0 DPR, this Judge’s Choice bull continues to make exciting
daughters. DESTRY*RC is a Goldwyn from the All-American and reserve Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo, Scientific Debutante Rae EX 92. DESTRY is an 8th generation Excellent from the Roxy family so he comes by his consistent type pattern naturally.
Discriminating breeders continue to use DESTRY*RC to provide refinement and femininity and overall quality.
94HO14105 AFTERSHOCK now with over 20,000 milking daughters continues to go up in type, udder and f&l composites, unheard of in today’s market. This SHOTTLE son of one of the greatest transmitting Durham Daughters, Atlee, makes the kind of
cows that people love to milk. Aftershock has a great sire stack, Shottle, Durham, Storm and Starbuck and the same family as Chief
Adeen and Alicia. These are long lasting cows that get better with age. The AFTERSHOCKS are perfectly balanced with a great
combination of strength and dairy quality. Continue to use AFTERSHOCK on Goldwyn blood for exceptional results.
94HO16496 DECLAN entered our line up with limited data last round but solidified himself as one of the best type bulls in the
breed at 2.69 with 85 scored daughters! He is the top type bull at ABS and has great linear pattern. We will have a flyer out with
some exciting milking daughter photos in ebulletin this week. His pedigree is filled with STJ royalty. One of the only sons of AFTERSHOCK sampled in AI, he is out of the reserve All-American, Ex-95 full sister to DESTRY RC. Their dam is the Ex-92 All
American Debutante Rae that completes generations of Ex cows going back to Ex 97 Queen of the breed Roxy. The bull himself is
very impressive and is already Ex 91! He will make stylish cattle with impressive bodies and great udders. He should cross well on
DORCY, BUXTON, GILLESPY, SILVER, MONTEREY daughters. He will make the show winner and watch for a couple of his
best this fall!
94HO16684 ATTORNEY has been extremely popular as a young bull and now hits big time with a proof! He added 129 of his
144 daughters this proof and while his milk dropped, watch for that to come back up next round! His type is amazing….46 daughters cause an increase to the number two spot at ABS for type at 2.68. There should be type there as he has the two most prolific
cow families for type in the breed behind him, Atlee and Barbie! He also gives you great SCS at 2.68 for a proven bull and is ***
transition right and has CE that will really catch your eye at 5.7. Look for a proven bull with high type sire stack, low CE, low SCS
and to top it off 3.14 FLC one of the best if not the best in the breed!!!! So this Gold Chip from AFTERSHOCK’s Ex 92 full sister
will open doors to all customers. Use him on big framed cattle that need better feet and legs and udders…the bull to use on all the
Doorman blood out there!
94HO14173 BUXTON is blowing customers away and his proof shows it. He doubled his daughter numbers and went up on
milk to almost 700 pounds and his type increased to 2.17 and UDC took a jump to one of the best in AI at 2.56. His TPI went up
almost 100 points and he is **** fertility! When you have all the data in, this is one of the top proven milk and UDC bulls in the
entire breed and people love them and he gets cows pregnant. Go back to this favorite as a way to blend in other top bulls and have
happy customers!
We have some exciting young bulls at STJ including some bulls that I got to see while on a small tour this week. Not many people
get to see the bulls anymore due to health regulations for overseas markets, but I was one of the few and I just want to tell you, the
STJ bulls stand-out. They were bred to be beautiful individuals and to pass that on to the next generation. These are a few of younger
bulls that caught my eye.
HY-CLASS*RC is the Absolute from Ex-97 Goldwyn HAILEY, he’s an eye catcher, looks like his dam with a more pleasing tail
setting. He is long and angular with enough depth and width. CAPITAL Z has a great side profile. What an impressively flat boned
deep ribbed, stylish bull. He’s hard topped and walks exceptionally well. AMMO-P RC is striking, long legged and long bodied and
bound to add some depth as he grows older. His dam is one of the most beautiful second calf red cows in the world.
Several of our popular young bulls have daughters on the ground. 94HO17739 BLAKE….Doorman x Atwood is the most talked
about bull in the business. They are Fancy. They are winning the shows and topping sales and people love these stylish
calves. Note his dam is NOW EX 90 in Canada! Maybe our best show bull since DESTRY! If you have been to any shows this
summer you likely saw daughters of 94HO0895 ADDICTION-P- RED in the center of the ring. He will be the hottest sire in the
RW business after WDE this fall. They are FANCY. 94HO17998 CRUSH calves are hitting the ground and not disappointing. They are long and stylish like you would expect and he is still one of the great FERTILITY bulls we have and the best SCS bull
in captivity.
