SECOND SET OF FLECKVIEH TRIPLETS BORN WITHIN TWELVE MONTHS FOR JAY AND ZAK JOHNSTON!
DAVID HAZELTON – ‘FLECKVIEH PIONEER’
Pictured are Jay and Zak Johnston, Newtonbutler, Co Fermanagh, looking extremely pleased with their set of Fleckvieh triplets born in August 2020! The triplets are purebred and are out of a Fleckvieh cow the boy’s father, David, imported from Germany as a calf. The sire is the polled Fleckvieh bull Mahango from Bayern Genetik. Despite the statistical odds of cows having triplets as being over 100,000 to one, this is remarkably the second set of Fleckvieh triplets the Johnstons have had this year!
David Hazelton was honoured with the title Fleckvieh Pioneer in 2019. David owns Ranfurly Simmentals farm in NI and has brought Fleckvieh genetics to Ireland, Northern England, and Scotland. With this award and a traditional Bavarian cow bell, we want to thank David for exceptional performance in the field of Fleckvieh breeding, his great passion for Fleckvieh and its implementation in the UK.
