Any ever milk them? Any records available. I would live to try a couple in my milking herd, they look like a lovely cow. I know some will say rare breeds are rare for a reason but sure there has to b a bit of fun in the job too!!
Any information would b greatly appreciated!

I'm very much a spring grass, low input, crossbreed herd so over feeding of concentrates will not b a problem (circa 450kgs/had per annum). I'm disappointed to hear they have low constituents, with their history and the cheese I thought they would be good!
