“For this reason, we made sure to select a high number of Dingle sons for the sale. A son of Netherton Americano, Dingle has perfectly stamped his progeny with the unmistakable Angus character of his dam, Liss Duchess R503.

“His calves have the signature fluffy ears, sweet heads, and natural easy-fleshing ability, all while exhibiting great width through their tops and deep, rounded lower quarters.”
