Exported: Newbiemains Jax THE demand for British Simmental genetics abroad has seen a further export of four young Simmental bulls to an AI centre in Italy. Three bulls from the Newbiemains herd of Jim and Patricia Goldie, Newbie Mains Farm, Annan, along with a further bull from the Auchorachan herd of D&R Durno & Sons, Auchorachan, Glenlivet, Ballindalloch, Banffshire, were exported in late September. The bulls have been purchased by the US based Horizon Genetics and, following the first collection, the semen is destined for use in the US market with further collections destined for China. Having initially seen videos and pictures of British Simmentals online and through social media, representatives of Horizon genetics then came to view stock at farms in England and Scotland last year.
