In my other life as a registered holstein guy, I loved our Glenafton
Enhancers. We also used AI sons of his and our own sons and
Grandsons. We have holsteins right now with Enhancer in their
pedigree 4 times. Alot of my favorite crosses come from Enhancer x NZ
jersey. People in the East hated them because of feet and legs but we
had far less problems with the then anything with Mark in the
background. Also really like Willow Farm Rockman Ivanhoe. Reccently I
really appreciate the tremendous will to milk of the NZ jersey bull
Fjord.
