Offspring from World Wide Sires Bulls Commanding Top Prices the World Over

At this year's DHV Elite Auction in Hamm, Germany, the top price went to a 2-year-old 7HO06758 MR SAM daughter, named Darling. Eurogenes from the Netherlands paid the top price of €10,000 for Darling. She is backed by a deep World Wide Sires pedigree: Mr Sam x VG-88 BW Marshall x VG-87 Jolt x VG-86 Elton x Snow-N Denises Dellia EX-95. Darling stood first in her class and third in the championship the day she sold, and already has a hand full of embryo and bull contracts.

The second highest price at the DHV Elite Auction went to a daughter of 7HO07596 Den-K Marshall LL LAURIN out of a VG-87 Mr Sam. The 10-month-old HLM Pia sold for €9,800 to Eurogenes.
