Baraboo, Wis. (April 8, 2015) – Give your herd a ‘lift’ with new PACE graduate 014HO06809 AIRLIFT the #2 Proven Type sire at +3.74 PTAT! He is the complete package providing breed-leading Type, outstanding Feet and Legs (+3.74 FLC) along with profitable production (+981 PTAM).
AIRLIFT is the exciting Atwood son out of the world-famous Abigail family from the respected Canyon-Breeze herd in Minersville, Utah. He is out of Canyon-Breeze S Auburn-ET EX-90, a Shottle daughter, who had a fantastic three-year-old production record over 35,000 pounds of milk, 1347 pounds of fat and 1024 pounds of protein. Behind her are a Very Good-85 Morty and then a Very Good-87 Bellwood.
Breeders have been very satisfied with their AIRLIFT daughters and many heifers have performed well at shows. “AIRLIFT is over three points in type and has produced some eye catching daughters,” notes Ben Hughes, owner of Royal Vista Holsteins in Pickett, Wis. “We have one AIRLIFT daughter that calved in at 23 months of age back in December. She has been a standout all along. As a heifer, she was always taller in stature than heifers of the same age group. Now she has a phenomenal udder, tremendous amount of rib and continues to improve with age.”
Corey Hordorf, owner of Second-Look Holsteins in Eden, Wis. says, “From my experience with AIRLIFT daughters, they are tall in stature with appealing udders and a sound set of feet and legs. The two milking now are trouble-free cows. They definitely stick out in the freestall barn above the rest of their herd mates.”
