PLAIN CITY, Ohio, April 16, 2001 — 7HO6753 CANYON-Breeze Storm Atom-ET, bred by Steven Gillins, Minersville, Utah, has been chosen to enter Select Sires' Program for Genetic Advancement (PGA) sire-sampling system. Based on his outstanding pedigree, CANYON is one of 315 Holstein bulls from throughout the United States to enter the program in 2001. In addition to being sampled through PGA Cooperator herds, this young sire has been identified as a Super Sampler. With this designation, his semen is available to all interested Holstein breeders.

CANYON is bred to sire the type of cows that will stay in the herd for several lactations.

Canyon-Breeze EM Ashley-ET is Excellent (94).
