GLINT
Full Sister to MGD: Shenandoah Barber Gem E-94%
Price: $5
aAa: 534
DMS: 234, 345
• Genomic PTA of 76 pounds fat and 44 pounds protein
• Dam is an exciting Ex first crop Abe daughter
• Bred to use on your many granddaughters of MONTANA and HALLMARK
GLINT is bred to sire high component yield, improve female fertility and sire correct teat placement and size. The genomic
evaluation helps to confirm these strengths.
GLINT’S dam is an Ex first-crop Abe daughter. MGD is a littermate full sister to Shenandoah Barber Gem E-94% popular as
a Jersey Jug winner in Louisville, Gem went on to have four sons A.I. proven. She has proven to be a great genetic source
for superb udders, fertility and longevity.
Behind the Barber daughter you will find Shenandoah Beretta Glad E-91% and Shenandoah Duncan Gidget E-93%. This is
truly a deep and successful cow family.
This combination high component package can be especially valuable for use on the many descendents of MONTANA and
HALLMARK in the breed today such as those by Jace and his sons, and those by the most popular HALLMARK sons such as
LEXINGTON and SHOWTIME. He can also be a wise choice to use on daughters of other MONTANA sons such Blair, Brazo,
Saber and LELAND.

FANFARE
Dam’s Paternal Sister: Gabys Artist Ambrosia E-90%
Price: $5
aAa: 165
DMS: 561
• High Component test to increase your component premium payment
• +3.5PL (G) for longer lasting cows in your herd.
• One of the best early grandsons of Artist available today
FANFARE’S MGD, Celestial Flyer Floral ihas just been raised to EX, milking as a 9-yr-old. Unfortunately, Floral has had only
two daughters, but both have been among the higher ranking daughters of their respective sires and both have been
sought after as A.I. bull mothers.
Artist is a bull that has much to offer our breed in terms of protein yield, fertility and longevity, yet his influence is not
widely available today. FANFARE is one of the best early grandsons of Artist available, and the top side of his pedigree
brings us the good udders and high protein we have come to expect from the descendents of Berretta Jade E-95% at
Forest Glen.
You will not find Lemvig nor Maid in this pedigree and only one distant cross to LESTER. Therefore, FANFARE can be a
logical cross to use on the many Lemvig granddaughters such as those by Abe, Nathan, Maximus and Rasmus and on the
Avery granddaughters sired by Action, Kody and Country. He can also be a wise choice for Mecca daughters.

ABS Jersey Cornerstone Graduates Confirm
the ABS Advantage
These six graduates of the ABS Jersey Cornerstone Program are all among the top 20 Active A.I. bulls when
ranked by Jersey JPI. No other A.I. sampling program comes close to this quantity, quality and selection of
breed leading Jersey bulls!

Why have we chosen these traits to summarize? These bulls sire high producing daughters (Combined Fat and
Protein yield) that are profitable for Jersey herd owners (CM$). They are built to last (JUI) and offer dramatic
improvement in longevity (PL).
The six bulls have 5 different sires and 6 different dams. They offer sufficient pedigree diversity to breed an
entire herd of cows and heifers.
Two of the bulls, HEADLINE and LEGAL are first summary bulls. They have limited daughter data and short
days in milk. We are hearing more about high genomic bulls these days. These are high genomic bulls, and
they have impressive early daughter performance data as well. At ABS, performance still counts.
The other four bulls rank in the top 20 because they have shown remarkable stability over time. All four of
those bull have reached a career high NM$ level on the April 2009 summary. Yes, they just keep going
up!
ABS Jersey Cornerstone herds have daughters of these bulls in milk. If you are not an ABS Cornerstone
herd and see the advantage that bulls like these offer, today might be a perfect day to contact
your ABS Representative to learn more about ABS Cornerstone.
SECOND CROP SUCCESS ........Speaking of stability....
29JE3314 LEXINGTON – More than doubled the number of daughters in both production and type evaluations.
Milk proof continues to climb, JUI now at 5.64 and going up.
29JE3307 SHOWTIME – They are calving and milking as expected. JUI increased to 5.12 with PL now at 3.8.
These cows will pay the bills, for years to come.
29JE3301 IATOLA – With more than 300 daughters now appraised, we are seeing increases in both PTAT
(+2.5) and JUI (+8.68). Confirming him as one of the all-time great type sires.
