ABS/ST. JACOB'S ABC ICON DUNDEE DIESDEFOREST, WISCONSIN – June 18, 2009 - ABS Global and St.. Jacobs ABC sire 94HO10276 Regancrest DUNDEE was euthanized with dignity earlier this week due to declining mobility. “DUNDEE leaves an indelible impact on the breed by gathering phenomenal show results around the world with hundreds of first-place finishes to his credit.

Along with his show ring success, DUNDEE currently has 19,489 daughters in his proof giving him a PTAT of +3.04. His daughters work well in all environments and improve with age. "DUNDEE quickly became a global and North American favorite as he provided dairy producers with the high quality, high type daughters that dominated in the show ring," stated Keith Wideman, President of St. Jacobs ABC, Inc. Board of Directors. "With the success we had with DUNDEE, selling over a half million units, we have been able to grow and expand both the scope and genetics our St. Jacobs ABC programs inculding Judge's Choice™ and Red & White Genetics."
