[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1385943, member: 14585"] I attend the Curtiss (Candy) sire dispersal sale in Illinois I think it was in 1982... could have been in '81. They had a top flight holstein line up in the 60s - 70s Astronaut was one of the superstars in the 70's but their bull Pawnee Farm Arlinda Chief was the one that really left his impact on the breed... he was really something special. I remember Select Sires purchasing Char-Mar Elevation Pabst a great grandson of the old Chief bull. (Elevation x Milu Betty Ivanhoe Chief) I liked that Pabst bull a lot. The Arlinda Chief x Ivanhoe cross was known as the ton of milk cross back in the day as the daughters of that cross averaged over 2,000 lbs more milk per year than their herdmates in the late '60s which at the time was really big time special.. A ridiculous % of all holsteins today trace back to either Elevation (RORAE) or Chief and most to both of them. Elevation was a grandson of Ivanhoe making Pabst a line-bred Ivanhoe. [/QUOTE]
