SWISS AND FRENCH IMPORTS PROVE SHREWD INVESTMENT FOR SCOTLAND'S LAIRD FAMILY

摘要

Shrewd investment in European imports has seen the Laird family turning heads at Holstein shows with stellar performers bought from high pedigree herds in France and Switzerland. Probably the most renowned animal on farm at the moment is Illens Atwood Australia EX95-2E (Atwood x VG89 Lheros). The Swiss import gets preferential treatment on the farm, living in a straw pen right next to Colin and wife Izzy's farmhouse. She is so close, in fact, her owners can keep an eye on her from the kitchen window - while the rest of the herd is housed in cubicles on foam mattresses.
