Select Sires

Early Tri-Star Son from Maryland
to Enter A.I. at Select Sires

PLAIN CITY, Ohio, Nov. 8, 2006 — 7AY84 Palmyra Tri-Star BURDETTE-ET, bred by Jordan Creek, Hagerstown, Md., has been chosen to enter Select Sires’ Program for Genetic Advancement™ (PGA™) sire-sampling system. Based on his outstanding pedigree, BURDETTE will enter the program in 2006. In addition to being sampled through PGA cooperator herds, this young sire has been identified as a Super Sampler™. With this designation, BURDETTE semen is available to all Ayrshire breeders.

BURDETTE is sired by the elite type bull 9AY75 Palmyra Tri-Star and looks to pick up where his father left off. BURDETTE’s dam, Palmyra Reno Bethany-ET (EX-90), has outstanding width and rib cage that allowed two 30,000 pound records topping out at 35,780M 1,374F 1,123P. A full sister to BURDETTE was the second-high seller at the 2005 National Ayrshire sale and is still turning heads today.
