29HO11111 BOLTON

29HO10483 JAMMER

DEFOREST, WISCONSIN – August 3, 2009 – Two new ABS sires have reached the impressive milestone of producing one million units of semen lifetime.  These two sires, 29HO11111 Sandy-Valley BOLTON-ET*TV and 29HO10483 Ridge-Star JAMMER-ET*TV, now join the largest group of one million unit sires by any A.I. company in the world.

BOLTON, an elite sire around the globe, has enjoyed tremendous demand from day one due to his unique combination of production and type.  As a result of his remarkable worldwide demand and unique production capabilities, BOLTON becomes the first sire to ever produce one million units prior to reaching second crop status. 

Known for siring black cows with high milk yield and outstanding udders, JAMMER reached this milestone while demand has never been stronger.  A popular fertility specialist and calving ease sire, JAMMER daughters continue to impress and he is now sold out globally.

BOLTON and JAMMER – both top 100 TPI sires as of April 2009 - complete a remarkable feat of five ABS sires reaching the one million unit production milestone in 2009.  They join 29HO9436 FREDRICK, 29HO10124 BOLIVER and 29HO10644 GARRISON, in attaining this impressive accomplishment in the same year. 

In addition to the five bulls reaching the one million unit mark in 2009, the group of ABS Millionaire Sires now total nine bulls strong – including past legendary ABS sires; 29H5295 SOUTHWIND, 29H8343 CONVINCER, 29HO9023 ROY and 29H8538 DIE-HARD.  This impressive list of high lifetime production sires is the result of the ABS Cornerstone® Progeny Test Program, the development of Rock Solid Genetics that stand the test of time, quality animal care and husbandry and a never ending focus on customer satisfaction.
