Sophie Holt of Coonong Station, Urana NSW caught up with me at the 2014 Royal Melbourne Show. Sophie has been using Lowline bulls over her Hereford heifers & some cows for many years now & is a firm believer of the benefits of using these great bulls. The original bulls purchased are still working well.

Her neighbour, who also runs Hereford cattle & has been buying Hereford bulls from the Holt family for about 35 years, came to Sophie last year & said he was having problems calving his heifers.

Sophie said “We’ll fix that!” & sold him one of her Lowline bulls to use over his heifers.

The neighbour was really impressed with the outcome of no calving problems & great calves so he now wants to buy more Lowline bulls!

It just goes to show that if we are persistent in promoting our bulls for calving ease, the non-believers will eventually come round to our way of thinking once they see the outcome for themselves.
