Some won't like it, but this is new wave marketing, sex sells everything else, why not genetics? It gets your att, thats for sure. I like it.

I think the web-site is exellent, an that's not because I'm stuck in a male oriented architects office!! :-)
I think they are having a good laugh with their holstein breeding and marketing, and at the end of the day if we can't have a bit of fun in our day-to-day work/business then what's the point?
The site might not be as slick as the likes of Ridgefield or Smiddiehill, but it's fun.... BRING IT ON!!! emoticon

 Hopefully they aint mutton dressed as lamb and, do not keep cement trowels and swarfega under the bed as you may suggest Sperrin.

I think that this web site and the idea brings a new direction and marketing strategy to the breed, they seem to be very ambitious and I wish them all the best in the future <although they seem to be doing great as it is with their newly nominated heifer>

There's nothing you guys like more than a couple of VG 2yr olds to dribble over... fact is - you'll remember their site & thats advertising!

We are back to the Type Vs Functionality arguement really!

Its hard for a judge to pass a pretty woman on the lead, male instinct!!! Unless of course the judge is a woman!!!
