Are there British families which have been unappreciated and should more bulls have been tested over the years?

摘要

James: With herd size getting larger and larger, the need for moderately sized, trouble-free cows is essential and this is exactly what the old British cow families excel in. Some British families have blended with the Holstein better than others, but they have bred for generation after generation and have stood the test of time. In the past, they may not have been as fashionable as some of the fancy imported families and may not have made the big money in the flashy, well promoted sales nor in the show ring, which required a different type of cow to what most producers wanted. British families got pushed to the back seats, but I think there is definitely more interest in the old families from farmers wanting replacements and stock bulls and Al companies testing bulls now.
