Chris Hine from McIntosh Creek Lowlines has recently updated us about the extraordinary results being obtained with Red Ivan's semen and embryos both in Australia and internationally.

​

As she says, quoting the ALCA motto, "A little bull goes a long way!".

​

Chris's endeavours in distriibuting Red Ivan's straws and embryos have had amazing results, including the following:

​

- the first ever red Lowline born in the UK or Europe, born at the Wessex Stud in the UK;

- numerous straws sold to ALCA members in Australia and New Zealand;

- around 120 straws sold to US breeders, with 2 red Lowlines born in the USA already;

- Red Ivan straws sold to a breeder in Ireland, and an upcoming sale of straws to a German breeder;

- (October 2019) a new heifer born in the UK and a new bull calf born in New Zealand.

​

There are numerous other international sales of straws and embryos.  The most recent example of international

interest has been from Zambia in Africa!

​

I think that this is a wonderful endeavour, and Chris is to be congratulated.  Maybe I am biaised, but I love to see pictures of a mixed herd of both black and red Lowlines.  I think it adds interest and excitement to the breed.
