Knowe Farm team, Laura, Rachel, Jan, George Claire and Neil Ref:RH260421323 Rob Haining / The Scottish Farmer. For most pedigree farmers, there is nothing better than seeing the progeny of various mating programmes grow and develop and noted Ayrshire cattle breeder, George Templeton, has enjoyed a lifetime devoted to various cow families and that of his own – wife Jan and their three daughters, Laura, Claire and Rachel. As the third generation of George Templetons to milk cows at the Knowe, Auchinleck, and one which is about to celebrate a centenary of farming on this lowland dairy unit, he has always been at the forefront of modern genetics. Originally, a real enthusiast of the traditional Ayrshire, he has slowly but surely introduced red and white Holsteins into the mix to benefit the business, and black and whites.
