WEBVTT 00:00:10.670 --> 00:00:13.550 Welcome, dairy enthusiasts, to another exciting 00:00:13.550 --> 00:00:16.429 episode of the Bullvine Podcast. I'm your host, 00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:19.089 Bella, and with me today is my co -host, Douglas. 00:00:19.649 --> 00:00:22.649 We've got a fascinating story for you today about 00:00:22.649 --> 00:00:25.469 a cow that literally changed the face of Holstein 00:00:25.469 --> 00:00:29.179 breeding worldwide. That's right, Bella. Today, 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.539 we're diving deep into the legacy of comma star 00:00:31.539 --> 00:00:34.859 Lori Sheik, a cow that some might call the cow 00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:37.979 that built an empire. We'll explore how this 00:00:37.979 --> 00:00:40.719 unassuming animal from Quebec, Canada, built 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.479 a global dairy empire that's still going strong 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.920 four decades later. Wow, Douglas, that sounds 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.500 incredible. What can our listeners expect to 00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.280 learn today? We'll cover Lori Sheik's humble 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.719 beginnings, her remarkable achievements, and 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.640 the lasting impact she's had on the Holstein 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.990 breed. We'll also discuss how her breeding principles 00:00:59.990 --> 00:01:02.670 are still relevant in today's genomic era and 00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:04.969 what modern breeders can learn from her success. 00:01:06.510 --> 00:01:09.250 I can't wait to get started. Let's jump right 00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:12.689 in, shall we? Absolutely, Bella. Let's begin 00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:14.769 with the story of how Lori Sheik came to be. 00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:18.849 Picture this, folks. It's a chilly autumn day 00:01:18.849 --> 00:01:22.530 in 1989. The first ever CommaStar sale is underway 00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:25.420 in Quebec, and the atmosphere is electric. A 00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:27.319 modest -looking black -and -white cow enters 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.120 the ring, and nobody expects much. But when the 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.439 gavel falls, jaws drop. This cow, Commestar Laurie 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.799 Chic, sells for a staggering $45 ,000. That's 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.480 quite a price tag for 1989. Who made such a bold 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.280 investment? It was a partnership between Commestar 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.780 and the Poussimier family from Belgium. Little 00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:52.540 did they know, this purchase would reshape Holstein 00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:56.310 breeding on a global scale. So, Bella, what made 00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.150 Lori Sheik so special? Why are we still talking 00:01:59.150 --> 00:02:02.370 about her today? Oh, Douglas, where do I even 00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:05.629 begin? Lori Sheik's accomplishments are truly 00:02:05.629 --> 00:02:08.650 mind -boggling. First off, she produced four, 00:02:08.830 --> 00:02:11.750 yes, four millionaire bulls. That's Leader, Lee, 00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:15.189 Leros, and Outside. Can you imagine having just 00:02:15.189 --> 00:02:17.650 one bull reach that status in your breeding program? 00:02:18.370 --> 00:02:21.889 That's incredible, Bella. Four millionaire bulls 00:02:21.889 --> 00:02:25.370 from one cow family? That's unheard of. But wait, 00:02:25.490 --> 00:02:29.270 there's more. Lori Sheik herself earned 23 brood 00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:31.509 cow stars, which is near record achievement. 00:02:31.969 --> 00:02:35.330 And her daughter, Laura Black, went even further 00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:38.370 with 24 stars. For our listeners who might not 00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:41.169 be familiar, brood cow stars are awarded based 00:02:41.169 --> 00:02:44.349 on the performance of a cow's offspring. It's 00:02:44.349 --> 00:02:46.710 a measure of how well a cow passes on her positive 00:02:46.710 --> 00:02:51.310 traits. 23 and 24 stars are exceptional numbers. 00:02:52.250 --> 00:02:55.009 Absolutely, Douglas. It's like having a Hall 00:02:55.009 --> 00:02:57.129 of Fame player whose kid becomes an even bigger 00:02:57.129 --> 00:03:00.990 star. But Laurie Sheik's influence goes beyond 00:03:00.990 --> 00:03:04.889 just her immediate family. How so, Bella? Well, 00:03:05.030 --> 00:03:07.789 her genetics have spread to 51 countries worldwide. 00:03:08.430 --> 00:03:11.650 And get this, at Bois Seigneur Holstein in Belgium, 00:03:11.909 --> 00:03:14.849 about 70 % of their current herd traces back 00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:18.229 to Laurie Sheik. That's not just influence, that's 00:03:18.229 --> 00:03:21.750 a genetic takeover. That's remarkable, Bella. 00:03:22.250 --> 00:03:24.789 It really shows the global impact of smart breeding 00:03:24.789 --> 00:03:28.689 decisions. But I'm curious about the man behind 00:03:28.689 --> 00:03:31.210 this breeding program. Who was responsible for 00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:35.189 creating Lori Sheik? Ah, that would be Marc Comtois. 00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:38.370 And his story is just as inspiring as Lori Sheik's. 00:03:38.729 --> 00:03:41.370 Marc wasn't some corporate genetic wizard with 00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:44.770 fancy degrees. He was a farm kid, but the real 00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:47.889 turning point came in 1985 when he spotted a 00:03:47.889 --> 00:03:51.610 cow named Elisa Anthony Lee. What was so special 00:03:51.610 --> 00:03:55.229 about this cow? Well, as Marc Comtois himself 00:03:55.229 --> 00:03:59.050 once said, I've always believed that exceptional 00:03:59.050 --> 00:04:02.509 cows build exceptional herds. When I saw Elisa 00:04:02.509 --> 00:04:05.430 Anthony Lay, I recognized a cow that could be 00:04:05.430 --> 00:04:07.969 the foundation for something special. But even 00:04:07.969 --> 00:04:10.310 I couldn't have predicted just how special her 00:04:10.310 --> 00:04:12.789 daughter would become. And that daughter was 00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:18.389 Lori Sheik, born in December 1986. Exactly, Douglas. 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.779 Lori Sheik was the result of a breeding decision 00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:25.560 that broke all the rules. How so, Bella? Well, 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.300 you might think Lori Sheik came from the trendiest, 00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:31.720 most fashionable genetics of her day. But that 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.000 wasn't the case at all. Her sire, Puget Sound 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.100 Sheik, wasn't a household name. He was born in 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:42.620 1972 and classified Very Good 85. For our listeners, 00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:45.600 a classification of Very Good 85 is respectable, 00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:49.060 but not exceptional. It's on a scale where excellent 00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:52.259 is the highest, followed by very good, good plus, 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.079 good, and fair. Right, Douglas. And while Laurie 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.800 Sheik's dam, Elisa Anthony Leia, was exceptional 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.339 with an excellent classification in 15 brood 00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:03.199 stars, this pairing represented Mark's independent 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.899 thinking rather than following the crowd. So 00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:09.620 Mark wasn't breeding to what was popular. He 00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:13.240 was breeding what he believed would work. Exactly. 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.920 And boy, did it work. This unconventional pairing 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.259 created a genetic perfect storm that would redefine 00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:23.000 what was possible in Holstein breeding. Now, 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.000 Bella, I understand that Lori Sheik had some 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.060 pretty remarkable daughters. Can you tell us 00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:31.980 about them? Absolutely, Douglas. While Lori Sheik 00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:35.160 had 18 very good daughters, which is impressive 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.000 in itself, three in particular stand out. All 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.620 three were sired by Tomar Blackstar and became 00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:44.259 the genetic highways that spread Lori Sheik's 00:05:44.259 --> 00:05:46.589 influence globally. Who were these daughters 00:05:46.589 --> 00:05:50.529 and what made them so special? First, we have 00:05:50.529 --> 00:05:53.970 Laura Black, classified Very Good 87 with 24 00:05:53.970 --> 00:05:57.990 brood stars. She gave us the bulls Lee and Leros, 00:05:58.250 --> 00:06:00.949 which combined production punch with dairy strength 00:06:00.949 --> 00:06:03.670 that commercial farmers loved. That's an impressive 00:06:03.670 --> 00:06:06.930 combination. Strong production with good confirmation 00:06:06.930 --> 00:06:10.810 is what every dairy farmer dreams of. Next, we 00:06:10.810 --> 00:06:14.310 have Elle or Black. Also very good 87, but with 00:06:14.310 --> 00:06:18.170 16 brood stars. She produced Outside, a bull 00:06:18.170 --> 00:06:20.610 that completely transformed how we think about 00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:23.250 udders in modern Holsteins. For our listeners 00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:26.629 who might not know, before Outside, the Holstein 00:06:26.629 --> 00:06:28.670 breed struggled with udders that couldn't hold 00:06:28.670 --> 00:06:32.149 up through multiple lactations. Outside's daughters 00:06:32.149 --> 00:06:35.569 changed that forever with high, wide rear udders 00:06:35.569 --> 00:06:38.939 and exceptional center support. Exactly, Douglas. 00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:42.019 And finally, we have Lousen Black, very good 00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:45.759 87 with 23 brood stars. She gave us Stormatic, 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.680 creating a line that uniquely excels in both 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.120 genomic rankings and show rings. That's quite 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.459 a feat, Bella. Usually, we see animals that excel 00:06:55.459 --> 00:06:58.259 either in genomics or in the show ring, but rarely 00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:01.740 both. As a friend of mine who judges major shows 00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.879 likes to say, they look as good as they test, 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.560 and they test as good as they look. That's rare. 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.019 Now, Bella, I understand there's an interesting 00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:14.779 international aspect to this story. Can you tell 00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:18.500 us about the Belgian connection? Oh, absolutely, 00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:21.480 Douglas. This is one of my favorite parts of 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.519 the Laurie Chic story. When the Poussimier family 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.079 from Belgium spotted Laurie Chic's potential 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.540 at that 1989 sale, they faced a major roadblock. 00:07:32.060 --> 00:07:34.660 Belgian regulations wouldn't let them import 00:07:34.660 --> 00:07:37.850 live cattle from Canada. So how did they overcome 00:07:37.850 --> 00:07:40.970 this challenge? They got creative, Douglas. They 00:07:40.970 --> 00:07:43.129 bought partial ownership of Lori Sheik herself 00:07:43.129 --> 00:07:46.850 and imported her embryos instead. Talk about 00:07:46.850 --> 00:07:49.589 thinking outside the box. That's quite innovative. 00:07:50.110 --> 00:07:53.930 How did this decision pan out for them? It triggered 00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:57.629 what became known as Black Star Mania at Boiseñor 00:07:57.629 --> 00:08:00.850 Holstein. They crossed Lori Sheik daughters with 00:08:00.850 --> 00:08:04.769 Tomar Black Star and struck genetic gold. One 00:08:04.769 --> 00:08:07.589 standout offspring was Black Lord Du Bois Seigneur, 00:08:07.730 --> 00:08:10.870 who produced over 100 ,000 kilograms of milk 00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:13.370 in her lifetime. For our American listeners, 00:08:13.589 --> 00:08:17.230 that's over 220 ,000 pounds of milk. That's an 00:08:17.230 --> 00:08:20.709 exceptional lifetime production. Indeed, Douglas. 00:08:21.069 --> 00:08:23.550 And the impact of this decision is still felt 00:08:23.550 --> 00:08:27.470 today. Jonas Pusimir, who now runs the operation 00:08:27.470 --> 00:08:30.709 his parents started, says that about 70 % of 00:08:30.709 --> 00:08:33.350 their current herd traces back to Lori Sheik. 00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:36.710 That's incredible, Bella. It really shows how 00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:39.570 one smart purchase can completely transform a 00:08:39.570 --> 00:08:43.330 herd's future. Absolutely, Douglas. And it's 00:08:43.330 --> 00:08:46.590 not just about the numbers. The Lori Shake lineage 00:08:46.590 --> 00:08:49.309 has shown remarkable consistency and adaptability 00:08:49.309 --> 00:08:52.350 across generations. Can you elaborate on that, 00:08:52.450 --> 00:08:56.110 Bella? Of course. When we track key metrics across 00:08:56.110 --> 00:08:58.529 generations, we see that while most families 00:08:58.529 --> 00:09:00.990 show regression toward breed average over time, 00:09:01.769 --> 00:09:04.570 The Lori Sheik line has maintained, and often 00:09:04.570 --> 00:09:07.549 improved upon, elite performance across nearly 00:09:07.549 --> 00:09:11.149 four decades. That's fascinating. Can you give 00:09:11.149 --> 00:09:15.570 us some specific examples? Certainly. Let's look 00:09:15.570 --> 00:09:17.750 at the maternal line classification progression. 00:09:18.190 --> 00:09:21.590 We start with Elisa Anthony Lee, Lori Sheik's 00:09:21.590 --> 00:09:25.370 dam, who was excellent 15 -star. Then Lori Sheik 00:09:25.370 --> 00:09:29.200 herself was very good 88 with 23 stars. Her three 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.039 key Black Star daughters were all very good 87. 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.340 And if we jump to a modern descendant, La Madonna, 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:40.080 she's excellent 94 with 21 stars. For our listeners, 00:09:40.299 --> 00:09:43.639 that's an exceptional classification score. Excellent 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.159 94 is near the top of the scale. Exactly, Douglas. 00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:52.899 And it's not just about classification. The family 00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:55.309 has maintained superiority. through different 00:09:55.309 --> 00:09:57.929 eras of genetic evaluation, from the classification 00:09:57.929 --> 00:10:01.549 -focused 1980s through the production index era 00:10:01.549 --> 00:10:05.230 of the 1990s, the balanced LPI -TPI approach 00:10:05.230 --> 00:10:08.309 of the 2000s, and into today's genomic evaluation 00:10:08.309 --> 00:10:11.769 systems. That's remarkable adaptability, Bella. 00:10:11.929 --> 00:10:14.889 It really speaks to the fundamental quality of 00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:18.169 these genetics. Absolutely, Douglas. And it's 00:10:18.169 --> 00:10:21.830 not just in traditional dairy setups. Lori Sheik's 00:10:21.830 --> 00:10:24.129 descendants are excelling in modern, high -tech 00:10:24.129 --> 00:10:28.070 environments too. How so, Bella? Well, Comestar 00:10:28.070 --> 00:10:30.549 itself has embraced the future, transitioning 00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:33.990 to robotic milking in 2020 with seven Delaval 00:10:33.990 --> 00:10:38.149 V300 robots. Lori Sheik's descendants are adapting 00:10:38.149 --> 00:10:40.990 beautifully to being milked by robots instead 00:10:40.990 --> 00:10:43.549 of human hands. That's a great point, Bella. 00:10:43.710 --> 00:10:46.190 It shows that these genetics aren't just about 00:10:46.190 --> 00:10:49.990 history. They're relevant to the future of dairy 00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:52.450 farming, too. Now, Douglas, I know you've done 00:10:52.450 --> 00:10:55.190 some research on how Laurie Sheik's breeding 00:10:55.190 --> 00:10:57.809 principles can be applied in today's genomic 00:10:57.809 --> 00:11:01.210 era. Can you share some insights with our listeners? 00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:05.789 Absolutely, Bella. You might wonder if breeding 00:11:05.789 --> 00:11:08.750 lessons from the 1980s still apply in our genomic 00:11:08.750 --> 00:11:12.169 selection era. They absolutely do. Maybe now 00:11:12.169 --> 00:11:14.549 more than ever. That's interesting, Douglas. 00:11:14.870 --> 00:11:18.899 How so? Well, Bella, Lori Sheik's success offers 00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:20.919 a framework that works beautifully alongside 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.000 modern genomic tools. There are a few key principles 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.779 that today's breeders can apply. I'm all ears, 00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:31.899 Douglas. What are these principles? First, look 00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:34.519 beyond the numbers for maternal strength. While 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:36.679 genomic indexes give us incredible prediction 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.340 power, they don't tell the whole story of maternal 00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:42.679 potential. When evaluating potential brood cows, 00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:45.759 pay special attention to family consistency across 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.669 generations, balanced trait profiles, and cross 00:11:49.669 --> 00:11:52.350 -system performance. Can you break that down 00:11:52.350 --> 00:11:57.389 a bit more, Douglas? Sure, Bella. By family consistency, 00:11:57.529 --> 00:12:00.269 I mean looking for maternal lines that show stable 00:12:00.269 --> 00:12:02.409 transmission of key traits across generations, 00:12:02.889 --> 00:12:06.049 just like we saw with Lori Sheik's family. For 00:12:06.049 --> 00:12:08.870 balanced trait profiles, prioritize females with 00:12:08.870 --> 00:12:11.289 well -rounded attributes over those that excel 00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:14.750 in just one area. And by cross -system performance, 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.000 Look for families that maintain excellence regardless 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.539 of how they're measured. Classification, production 00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:26.240 indexes, or genomics. I see. So it's about looking 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.759 at the bigger picture, not just chasing the highest 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.700 numbers. Exactly, Bella. In fact, I have a practical 00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:35.679 tip for our listeners. Create a maternal scorecard 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.279 that tracks genetic transmission strength across 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.740 three generations of any potential foundation 00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:44.340 female. A truly prepotent maternal line will 00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:46.539 show consistency in trait expression regardless 00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:50.000 of what sires were used. That's a great tip, 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.279 Douglas. Are there any real -world examples of 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.500 farms successfully applying these principles 00:12:55.500 --> 00:13:00.159 today? Absolutely, Bella. Boisenior Holstein 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.899 in Belgium is a perfect example. They've masterfully 00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:06.460 blended traditional maternal evaluation with 00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:09.500 modern genomic tools. While they use genomic 00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:12.389 testing, They value good mothering ability more 00:13:12.389 --> 00:13:15.409 than just high production numbers. They select 00:13:15.409 --> 00:13:17.889 for traits and bloodlines proven to work rather 00:13:17.889 --> 00:13:20.389 than relying on a single bull or chasing the 00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:23.450 highest genomic indexes. That's fascinating, 00:13:23.649 --> 00:13:27.129 Douglas. Do we know what specific bulls they're 00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:29.750 using in their program? According to the bull 00:13:29.750 --> 00:13:32.309 vines coverage, Chief and Lambda are currently 00:13:32.309 --> 00:13:35.370 their top sires. Their breeding goals integrate 00:13:35.370 --> 00:13:38.370 both milk production excellence and show competition 00:13:38.370 --> 00:13:41.779 success. Exactly the kind of balanced approach 00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:44.580 that made the Laurie Sheik line so successful. 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.659 So the key takeaway is that genomics are powerful 00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:52.080 tools, but they work best when paired with time 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.779 -tested maternal selection principles. Exactly, 00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:58.440 Bella. It's about combining the best of both 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.379 worlds, cutting -edge technology with proven 00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:04.389 breeding philosophy. Now, Douglas, as we wrap 00:14:04.389 --> 00:14:06.649 up our discussion, what do you think are the 00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:10.110 key lessons that today's breeders can learn from 00:14:10.110 --> 00:14:14.950 the lorry chic phenomenon? That's a great question, 00:14:15.049 --> 00:14:16.809 Bella. I think there are four main takeaways. 00:14:17.250 --> 00:14:20.429 First, focus on females, not just fancy bulls. 00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:23.509 Marc Comtois built a dynasty by identifying exceptional 00:14:23.509 --> 00:14:26.029 brood cows rather than chasing the hottest sires. 00:14:26.409 --> 00:14:30.429 The maternal side matters a lot. Second, sometimes 00:14:30.429 --> 00:14:33.159 your best partners are oceans away. The Belgium 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.399 connection supercharged Laurie Chic's impact. 00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:38.360 Don't be afraid to look globally for collaboration. 00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:42.940 Third, breed for adaptability, not trends. Laurie 00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:45.340 Chic's family has thrived through multiple evaluation 00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:48.620 systems and management styles. That's more valuable 00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:50.980 than being temporarily hot under one system. 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.740 And finally, genetic transmission is everything. 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.879 Those 23 brood cow stars represent extraordinary 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.559 prepotency. Look for animals that reliably pass 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.279 their traits to the next generation, not just 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.080 ones that look good themselves. Those are excellent 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.419 points, Douglas. It really emphasizes the importance 00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:13.679 of long -term thinking in breeding programs. 00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:17.379 Absolutely, Bella. In our industry's relentless 00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:20.159 pursuit of the next big thing, maybe that's the 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.039 most valuable lesson Laurie Sheik offers. True 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.220 genetic excellence isn't measured in momentary 00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:28.860 spotlight, but in generational impact. Well, 00:15:28.899 --> 00:15:32.509 folks. That brings us to the end of today. That's 00:15:32.509 --> 00:15:34.649 all for this week's episode of the Bullvine Podcast. 00:15:35.070 --> 00:15:37.330 Be sure to hit subscribe and leave us a review 00:15:37.330 --> 00:15:39.710 and join us next time for the Bullvine Podcast.
