The Influential KHW Kite ADVENT-RED Passes Away
PLAIN CITY, Ohio, March 24, 2009
— Select Sires regrets to announce that 7HO7872 KHW Kite ADVENT-RED-ET (EX-94) died yesterday. Inventory remains available for future sales.
Known for providing the "Showtime Advantage", ADVENT-RED has been extremely impactful in the Holstein breed. Widely believed to be one of the greatest show-ring sires of his time, ADVENT-RED daughters have accumulated numerous accolades at the world's greatest shows. In 2008 he was named Premier Sire at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair National Red and White Show, Toronto, Canada. ADVENT-RED daughters have also commanded attention in both the Red and White and black and white shows at World Dairy Expo, Madison, Wis. In 2008, he sired the grand champion of the Red and White show, in addition to five class winners and 25 top-five placings.
"ADVENT-RED's daughters are making a huge impact in the breed," said Charlie Will, manager, Holstein sire selection for Select Sires. "His heifers have dominated on the colored shavings for a few years now, and they continue to develop into great young cows with beautiful udders."
ADVENT-RED was a popular Super Sampler™ for Select Sires and went on to become an even more popular Showcase Selections™ sire on the proven lineup. His legacy will be felt for generations to come, both at Select Sires and in the Holstein breed. His sons and daughters continue to transmit the same qualities that made him so popular – tall and open frames, stylish front ends, beautiful udders and correct feet and legs.
