Millionaire Shottle produces Australian Champion
Over the past two weeks Picston Shottle has produced two exceptional achievements. The popular Mtoto son became the first bull in Great Britain to pass the mark of 1 million units of produced semen. And last weekend he topped this off by siring the brand-new National Champion of Australia! Shottle is the 11th millionaire of the British-American breeding organization ABS Global, and the 44th Holstein millionaire worldwide.
The 12-year-old successful sire of sons has produced valuable proven bulls all over the world and is the sire of 47,000 milking daughters. One of them is Page House Noni, the new Champion of Australia.
Noni comes from the Perrett herd, and lining up next to her as Reserve Champion of the International Dairy Week was Hillview Park Beryl, a Dundee daughter owned by Fresh Start.
Honorable Mention went to Wajaper Mr Sam Pam (owned by Walsh). In the intermediate category another Shottle daughter triumphed, Eclipse Lotto, owned by Richard Hull.
