His NM$ is +790 while his CM$ is +841. STORM PROOF also excels in type at +2.52 with an udder composite rating of +2.10. These qualities result in a fitness specialist at +5.3 productive life. STORM PROOF is sired by Silver from a young Willpower daughter that is now fresh.

One exciting addition is 566HO1267 FIX IT at +2640 GTPI. FIX IT excels at a high threshold for milk at +2158 pounds coupled with superior confirmation; +2.42 for type and +2.17 for UDC.
