What does the acronym "DUNN" refer to when selling cattle?

For example, "REDMF" refers to a red mottle-faced cow. But...what does DUNN mean? What type of cow is that? I know she was kinda blonde looking...just wondering if anyone knows what that stands for.

    I would guess that it actually means Dun...similar to the colour of a horse...

    I have sometimes heard Limo and Charolais Xs that are that light reddish-blond colour refered to as dun colored.

    Haussman, Haussman-Dunn gag

    a speculum for examining the mouth cavity of cattle and sheep. Two horizontal plates accommodate the upper and lower dental arcades (upper dental pad in cattle). They are carried on ratcheted scissor-type mechanisms supported up each side of the face by a poll strap. When levered open the plates stay open until the ratchet is released. Gives excellent access to the mouth but excludes incisor teeth.
