PLAIN CITY, Ohio, Nov. 8, 2006 — 7HO8927 Ladys-Manor Am CANDID-ET, bred by Jarod Robert Smith, Monkton, Md., has been chosen to enter Select Sires’ Program for Genetic Advancement™ (PGA™) sire-sampling system. Based on his outstanding pedigree, CANDID is one of 315 Holstein bulls to enter the program in 2006.

CANDID is sired by 7HO6753 CANYON-Breeze Storm Atom-ET and his dam is one of 7HO5157 Regancrest Elton DURHAM-ET*CV’s best daughters, Ladys-Manor Durham Am-ET (EX-91-2E-EX-MS).
