STtalks #227 - Sit Down with the Breeders of Delta-LAMBDA & ALTITUDE-RED Farnear Holsteins

We sit down with the breeders of Delta-LAMBDA and ALTITUDE-RED to reflect on the impact of these sires and learn more about Farnear Holsteins. Tom, Rick, Mark and Adam Simon join us to share what it was like to achieve breeding two Premier Sires of World Dairy Expo and how the philosophy that started with their dad, Joe Simon, breed the best to the best, has worked out really well for them and has built a profitable and good-looking herd of cows.
