Re: Duplex rumour.....
Was chatting to a guy a couple of months ago, he's milking quite a few Duplex, don't get me wrong they're real stylish cattle and it wasn't hard to spot them at the feed rail, most of them tended to be significantly taller than their compatriots.
He did say that they were fidgety in the parlour.

Re: Duplex rumour.....
Would say complete opposite to the extreme, I find them so quiet that you can't get the friggers to move.

It starts already as calfs: Bad drinkers. Yes they are agressive to eat aand as temperament against their herdmates . But when it comes to handle them for the show: you ain't sure you get their with them...

Re: …
Last rumour I heard on Duplex was that for every straw of Duplex semen purchased you were given 2 straws of Yak semen as his daughter fertility is reported to be fairly naff.
