After a spectacularly successful run at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin, Semex scored big again – twice at national shows and sales in Louisville, Kentucky and Toronto, Ontario.
North American International Livestock Exposition, Louisville, Kentucky
Semex’s strength came in numbers at the All American Junior Show on November 5th. Of the 200+ head shown nearly 25% were offspring of the 20 Semex marketed sires represented that day. In all, 11 top 3 placings were earned by Semex marketed offspring.
The All American Open Show on November 6th was represented by 24 different Semex marketed sires. Two 0200JE00427 Select-Scott Minister daughters earned the most notable honors of the day for Semex. Electra’s Eternal Star, exhibited by Waverly Farm, Clearbrook, Virginia was the Reserve Intermediate Champion. The Senior and Grand Champion Jersey, later named the Supreme Champion of the 2011 NAILE was Pine Haven SSM Marmie EX-94%-5YR-USA exhibited by the Sauders of River Valley Dairy of Tremont, Illinois.

Semex’s numbers were even stronger in the National Jersey Show at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair as daughters of Semex marketed sires represented half of the entries! In all, 33 different Semex marketed sires had daughters make their way through the ring with seven class winners and 21 placing in the top three, and Bridon Remake Comerica was named Premier Sire for the second year in a row!
Top honors begin with the Senior and Grand Champion Jersey, who was also Best Udder of Show, L’Ormiere Fusion Christine EX-94-CAN sired by past Semex sire Molly Brook Fusion.
