A Rotokawa update….

Famed New Zealand breeder Ken McDowell is spending several months in the States, currently enjoying a reunion with his Rotokawa herd.

He’s doing more than visiting, though, he’s working with the new owner of Rotokawa, Henry Hauptmann, making breeding decisions.  It’s a fine art for Ken as he draws out his plan, matching bulls to the needs of the cows.

And Ken is soldiering on despite a painful cyst that has developed on his kidney.  He does plan to be at the NADA meeting in New York next month.  And we’re looking forward to his visit here in October, right after our own next trip to England.
