They outed the previous chairman 2yrs into his 3yr stint earlier this year.
He was a 'commercial' Holstein man, whereas the new chairman is a fancy pedigree, show cow man. Whether they outed the CEO as he was a commercial farmer man and not a show man I don't know. But it does look like Holstein UK is becoming fancy cow clique again.
They need to get Lucy Andrews back in the office and kick some arses into gear!

Do you remember when that show cow farm that was under TB restriction and they were taking cows all over the place. No one said a word not a whisper. Then all of a sudden they decided to do something about. What did Holstein UK do?? Ban them for 6 months, they put all those farms at risk. All those peoples livelihoods and cows.

Trouble is money talks, and they were spending a fortune at sales on cows. The herd hasn't been as active in the last few years though, they've gone very quiet apart from the odd bull going into stud. Much like the Sheik woman who was buying cows a few years ago, never hear them mentioned now.
