Duplex Daughters Turn Heads
in the Sale Ring and the Show Ring
ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA –
November 3rd, 2006 –
Duplex daughters were hot items in the sale
ring during this year’s World Classic Sale at World Dairy Expo.
That’s no surprise considering
235HO0322 MESLAND DUPLEX is
currently the number two type bull in the world.
Miss Duplex Reno
was snatched up by Bob Miller of Orangeville, Ill., for $9,000.
Reno’s nearest 13 dams are all part of the unbroken line of
Excellents from the Audrey Posch family. Duplex’s status as the
best type bull in the breed is sure to help Reno on her way to
becoming a 14th generation Excellent.
Erin Wood Genetics, Geneva, N.Y., purchased
the first choice Duplex female
out of Tallent Shine for
$8,000. Shine, Ex-90 GBR, is a Gelpro daughter by Condon Aero
Sharon, making her a maternal sister to Picston Shottle. No
doubt her mating to Duplex will yield some very exciting
offspring to choose from.

young Duplex daughter sold on the World Classic. Her dam is a
VG-87 two-year-old out of Comestar Lovisetta Lee, Ex-94. Loviet
