said that “the Kentucky Fair and

house that many sheep.”
The facility is currently being
expanded to hold twice as many
sheep for future shows.
Progeny Dominate
All American Sale
DEFOREST, Wis. Progeny of 29 J 2875 LES
TER and 29 J 2877 SKY LINE captivated the bid
ders’ attention at the 1992 All American Jersey
Sale, held recently in Louisville, Ky.
Topping the sale at a price of $9,800 was Sweet
Grass 2875 Gurit-ET, a yearling daughter of 29
J2B7S LESTER, bred by Clifton and Laura Booth of
Buhl, Idaho. Gurit is a maternal sister to the breed’s
highest PIT cow. Sweet Grass Sooner Gilda. Their
dam. Sweet Grass Brass Gulka, is the breed’s fourth
highest PTI cow and a daughter of 29 J 2793 TOP
BRASS. Gurit carries two A.I. contracts and sold to
the Lutz Syndicate of Mocksville, N.C.
The second high selling female was Lesters
Althea Altop, a 4-month-old 29 J 2875 LESTER
daughter that brought $7,400 to Chaney Farms of
Bowling Green, Ky. Her dam is Altheas Pride 031,
an outstanding Sooner daughter with seven mater
nal brothers in A.I. Altop was purchased by Lynn
and Roy Lee of Smyrna, Tenn.
The top selling male was Forest Glen Ben
chmark, a son of 29 J 2875 LESTER from Forest
Glen Sooner Gemini. BENCHMARK was bred by
Stanley and Dora Bansen of Dayton, Oregon, and
was purchased for the price of $48,000 by the Ben
chmark Syndicate and American Breeders Service.
Three other bulls sold in the sale, all sired by ABS
bulls. They were progeny of 29 J 2875 LESTER and
29 J 2877 SKY LINE.
29 J 2875 LESTER had an extremely powerful
influence on the success of the 1992 All American
Sale. With six daughters selling, his progeny aver
aged more than $5,000 - more than $1,200 over any
other sire. 29 J 2877 SKY LINE sired the second
highest averaging group of Jersey heifers in the sale
at $3,308.
In total, 18 ABS-sired animals sold in the 1992
sale, averaging more than $8,900. This average is
more than $5,700 greater than any other A.I. unit
represented through the sires of the consignments.
With ABS’ leadership in the Jersey breed, this com
petitive edge is available to Jersey breeders around
the world.
“Following the July 1992 sire summary, ABS is
positioned with the best Jersey sire lineup avail
able,” said Dave Thorbahn, ABS manager of dairy
sire selection. “With the best sons of Duncan, Yank
ee. TOP BRASS, and ROYAL, and four of the five
bulls in the breed over +2OOO pounds PTA milk,
ABS is the reliably ahead source of Jersey
genetics.”
According to Michael Riggs, 1992 sale chairman,
the All American Sale sets the standard of excel
lence for the future of the Jersey breed. The chal
lenge met by the All American Sale committee was
to select for the standard of excellence that would
inspire all Jersey enthusiasts.
