Housner, Elroy, Wis., has been chosen to enter Select Sires’ Program for Genetic Advancement™ (PGA™) sire-sampling system. Based on his outstanding pedigree, CAMPBELL is one of 335 Holstein bulls to enter the program in 2008. In addition to being sampled through PGA cooperator herds, this young sire has been identified as a Super Sampler™. With this designation, CAMPBELL semen is available to all Holstein breeders.

CAMPBELL is one of the first Sandy-Valley Bolton-ET sons to be sampled in A.I. With Parent Averages at +1,853 for Milk and +3.35 for Type.

CAMPBELL’s dam is a huge Opsal Finley-ET with an aggressive appetite that propelled her to make almost 41,000 pounds of milk as a junior 2-year-old. This branch of the Faith cow family is making its mark in the genetic world, and CAMPBELL is sure to impress.
