Montbeliarde UK society has had a phenomenal open day (70 people attended) by permission of JTH Farms near Wigan- huge thanks to James, Sheila, Jayne Hodge and the whole team as well as our sponsors as well as those who took the time to join the visit - what a hugely uniform Montbeliarde herd with great facilities and tremendous fertility and cow welfare - we have had a very interesting visit seeing the benefits,financial performance and the fit for purpose nature of the Montbeliarde breed !

Excellent example of 20 years crossbreeding on Holstein to pure breed Montbeliarde breed now with Coopex Montbeliarde genetics only
