There are 23 different cow families in the current breeding program at Glengowan and all were founded in the early days of the stud so we have been extremely selective about what genetics we add to these heritage lines.
The progeny of the Turihaua heifer will begin only the third new cow line introduced here since the 1960s. She will join the new ‘Valentina’ line from Highlander of Stern and the ‘Hingaia’ line from 469, both from embryos purchased from Ross Thompson’s Millah Murrah stud in 2009.
