Prominent in this March edition of Holstein International is King Doc. His pedigree brings us immediately to one of the main players from the years around the turn of the century: Emprise Bell Elton. ‘Only already with his sons and grandsons has the empire of Elton become an untouchable bulwark. That is quite the feat, because Elton never received the same opportunities as the big sires of sons from his era,’ wrote HI in 2004, when Elton was presented in the series “Holstein Legends”. Oh yes, Elton is considered an extremely influential foundation sire – in Doc’s pedigree alone we find his name 12x. Discover in this story the everything but usual career of a true outlier.
