29HO14062 De-Su GILLESPY-ET*BY "GILLESPY and GAVIN are the beginning of an era in ABS BOLTON sons, and both hail from the same million-unit mating of BOLTON x SHOTTLE," stated Scott Bentley, global dairy product manager. "These bulls produce daughters with outstanding production and healthy udders, and are globally proven sons of two outstanding ABS sires. We congratulate De-Su Holsteins for breeding these individuals."

29HO14080 De-Su GAVIN-ET*BYGILLESPY and GAVIN were bred by De-Su Holsteins and the Dean and Sue Meyer family of New Albin, IA. GILLESPY graduated to the ABS lineup in April of this year, and his full brother GAVIN is a mid-summary release now available to breeders in North America. These sires offer an elite combination of high production and superb type, and are a true testament to the power of ABS BOLTON sons.
