The VERY well known --
Hillview Red Wing
SUSIE is a legend in the Dexter world. One of a handful of daughters that remained of THE imported Saltaire Platinum. Known by all as the first polled Dexter bull, which is truly a shame, because he had so much more to offer including disposition, length of loin, muscling, hip, balance and improved udder attachments on his daughters. He also passed on these strong traits from generation to generation, as seen below in not only Susie's sons and daughters but her grand babies as well. Susie is a third generation brood cow that is responsible for making Emerald Park Farm one of the leading Dexter breeding farms in the Nation. All of her bulls have been prominent herd sires and her daughters not only produce, but milk and are not afraid to dig their hooves in for a bit of draft work. Like her dam before her, Belle Fourche Sparklett responsible for the Hillview herd and Sooner P-Bar Sparkle responsible for the Belle Fourche herd.
Katrina as an adult, another pretty udder
2010: Her bull calf with Serenity Oak Farm Taco. Homozygous Polled, carries red. What an outstanding individual. "Over" has been collected and has semen and embryos in Canada, Germany, South Africa and is registered in the Australia herd book. He is world reknown --
