Gypsy's Parentage Gallery
Photos of this animal’s sire and dam, provided by their breeder.
Gypsy's sire is
Mrald Absolutely Perfect
He was 36″ tall at 18 months of age and has stayed on the shorter side. He has a gregarious personality and passes this trait to all his calves. He has high milk production on his dam’s side and very high butterfat on his sire’s side. Absolute is undefeated in the show ring and it's easy to see why!
Gypsy's dam is Mrald Platinum Echo
Echo is a daughter of the infamous Saltaire Platinum. This makes Gypsy a granddaughter of one of the most well-known bulls in the Dexter world. Echo's breeder says, "she has incredible depth, a beautiful udder, great disposition, clean fronted, and massive capacity." She inherited her milking capacity from Hillview Darren Jane, who was from true dairy stock.
