For this pair, that was a loaded question as Bob Miller of Orangeville, Ill., and Frank Regan of Waukon, Iowa, worked with two of the most respected cows in Holstein breed history - Roxy and Dellia. Additionally the pair is among the most respected names among dairy cattle breeders as Miller bred outstanding cows with his Mil-R-Mor prefix and Regan with the Regancrest branded name. Few Holstein herds today have not been touched by Roxy or Dellia genetics.
