I remember when I was an AB technician and one of my farmers was very 
particular on colour. I would dread going to  the farm for I could 
expect at least an hour while they decided if the 'bull of the day' was 
suitable to breed to keep the rich gold jersey colour. So I would be 
sitting while father and son decided which cow to put to bull of the day 
or to their nominated semen. Patience is a virtue!!!
