WEBVTT 00:00:14.189 --> 00:00:20.969 Creeping over fields of green Remembering the 00:00:20.969 --> 00:00:27.269 faces The moments unseen The hands that built 00:00:27.269 --> 00:00:33.590 a dynasty The vision in their eyes Echoes in 00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:38.810 the auction bar Beneath an endless sky This is 00:00:38.810 --> 00:01:03.390 the bull buy Turn the bar Hello, everyone, and 00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:05.769 welcome back to the Bullvine Podcast. I'm your 00:01:05.769 --> 00:01:08.049 host, and today I have an absolutely incredible 00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:11.129 story to share with you. It's a story that proves 00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:14.349 sometimes the greatest dynasties in dairy genetics 00:01:14.349 --> 00:01:17.650 hang by the thinnest of threads, and how a single 00:01:17.650 --> 00:01:20.689 spotted calf born in Minnesota completely transformed 00:01:20.689 --> 00:01:24.349 the Holstein world. Picture this. It's a crisp 00:01:24.349 --> 00:01:28.129 autumn morning in September 2005 at Larkrest 00:01:28.129 --> 00:01:32.510 Holstein's in Albert Lea, Minnesota. John and 00:01:32.510 --> 00:01:34.709 Ann Larson are going through their usual routine 00:01:34.709 --> 00:01:37.189 when they get word that another calf has been 00:01:37.189 --> 00:01:40.549 born. This one's spotted, female, and sired by 00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:43.709 the popular Pixton Shottle. In the busy rhythm 00:01:43.709 --> 00:01:46.390 of any dairy operation, it probably seemed like 00:01:46.390 --> 00:01:49.329 just another entry in the herd book. But folks, 00:01:49.469 --> 00:01:51.590 they were witnessing the birth of what would 00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:54.170 become a global genetic empire worth millions 00:01:54.170 --> 00:01:58.129 of dollars. That spotted calf was Larkrest Cosmopolitan, 00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:01.010 and 20 years later, even though she's passed 00:02:01.010 --> 00:02:04.019 on, her genetic fingerprints are literally everywhere. 00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:07.519 I'm talking AI studs from Alberta to Amsterdam, 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.960 champion rings from Wisconsin to Bavaria. Her 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.560 descendants have claimed national titles, topped 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.300 genomic rankings, and commanded record -breaking 00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.539 auction prices that'll make your head spin. But 00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:21.800 here's the thing that absolutely blows my mind 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.800 about this story. This dynasty almost never happened. 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.539 And I mean almost never happened on multiple 00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:31.229 occasions. Let me paint you the picture of how 00:02:31.229 --> 00:02:33.689 close we came to losing this incredible bloodline 00:02:33.689 --> 00:02:37.090 before it even started. Two generations before 00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:39.909 Cosmopolitan was born, her great -grandmother, 00:02:40.030 --> 00:02:43.590 Larcrest Juror Chanel, suffered severe calving 00:02:43.590 --> 00:02:46.210 paralysis as a two -year -old. We're talking 00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:48.590 about a cow that was down for over two weeks. 00:02:48.830 --> 00:02:52.069 In most cases, that's a death sentence. But somehow, 00:02:52.289 --> 00:02:54.870 through sheer determination and the devoted care 00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:58.370 of the Larson family, she survived. Can you imagine? 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.340 The entire foundation of this global dynasty 00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:05.500 hinged on one cow's will to live. But wait, it 00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.580 gets even more dramatic. Cosmopolitan's dam, 00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:11.419 Larcrest -Oside Champagne, was born as a twin 00:03:11.419 --> 00:03:13.740 to a bull calf. Now, if you know anything about 00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:16.699 cattle genetics, you know that over 90 % of female 00:03:16.699 --> 00:03:20.199 calves born co -twin to males are infertile Fremartins. 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.620 The logical decision would have been immediate 00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:25.879 culling. But the Larsens kept her anyway, and 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.020 against overwhelming odds, Champagne proved fertile 00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:32.460 and bred successfully. John Larson himself puts 00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:35.740 it best, and I love his humility here. He says, 00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:39.139 We've been lucky. The juror had calving paralysis 00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:41.659 as a two -year -old and was down for two weeks. 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.199 She probably should have died, but somehow she 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.219 had the drive and spirit to survive. Then the 00:03:47.219 --> 00:03:49.759 outside was a twin with a bull, and for some 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.020 reason we kept her, and we were lucky enough 00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:54.969 that she bred. This just goes to show you that 00:03:54.969 --> 00:03:57.610 even in our age of genomics and scientific breeding, 00:03:57.889 --> 00:04:00.610 sometimes the greatest genetic treasures hang 00:04:00.610 --> 00:04:04.849 by the most fragile threads of fate. Now, Cosmopolitan 00:04:04.849 --> 00:04:07.469 herself didn't waste any time making her mark. 00:04:07.610 --> 00:04:09.889 She rapidly captured international attention 00:04:09.889 --> 00:04:13.110 by achieving the coveted number one GTPI position 00:04:13.110 --> 00:04:16.769 among US Holstein cows. Think about that for 00:04:16.769 --> 00:04:19.250 a moment. In a breed with millions of animals, 00:04:19.529 --> 00:04:22.089 this spotted Minnesota heifer rose to the very 00:04:22.089 --> 00:04:25.110 top. She combined the power and presence of her 00:04:25.110 --> 00:04:27.810 shuttle genetics with proven transmitting ability 00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:31.810 that would define her legacy through 184 registered 00:04:31.810 --> 00:04:34.290 progeny in the United States and prestigious 00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:38.209 gold medal dam and dam of merit awards. But the 00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:41.050 real star of this story, the beating heart of 00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:44.410 this expanding dynasty, became Cosmopolitan's 00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:47.970 Ramos' daughter, Larkrest Crimson. And let me 00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:50.269 tell you about Crimson, because she's where this 00:04:50.269 --> 00:04:53.240 story gets really exciting. John Larson has this 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.279 wonderful quote about crimson that just captures 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:04.779 the passion these breeders have. He says, You 00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:11.860 can just hear the love and respect in his voice, 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.040 can't you? Crimson is described as a powerful 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.019 cow with a big, strong head, wide muzzle, massive 00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:22.129 rib capacity, an impressive width of chest and 00:05:22.129 --> 00:05:24.970 rump. She embodies that perfect marriage of genetic 00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:27.990 merit and practical functionality that modern 00:05:27.990 --> 00:05:31.329 dairy farming demands. But here's where the story 00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:34.170 gets absolutely wild, the market recognition 00:05:34.170 --> 00:05:37.670 of this genetic goldmine. Picture yourself in 00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:40.670 a packed sale barn. The tension is thick. Bidding 00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:43.970 is escalating beyond all expectations. Crimson's 00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:46.029 observer daughter, Kale, has offspring going 00:05:46.029 --> 00:05:49.069 through the ring. Larkress Cardigan, a Uno daughter, 00:05:49.420 --> 00:05:53.319 brings a stunning $400 ,000. Her super sire sister 00:05:53.319 --> 00:06:00.019 Canto sells for $290 ,000. $400 ,000. For dairy 00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:02.720 farmers watching these sales, these weren't just 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.500 impressive figures. They were validation that 00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.379 genetics could truly transform their operation's 00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:12.079 profitability and sustainability. Crimson's transmitting 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.980 ability reached its pinnacle in 2016 when she 00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:17.959 was crowned Global Cow of the Year. after finishing 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.120 second the previous two years her sons read like 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.240 a who's who of influential ai sires calibrate 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.720 camelot chavez conquest casual and cyclone each 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.920 one carried forward the family's genetic blueprint 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.459 to herds worldwide now let me tell you about 00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:37.639 some of the global superstars that emerged from 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.639 this family because this is where you really 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.800 see the international impact from crimson's genetics 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.439 grew multiple branches her observer daughter 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.180 larkcrest kalinda became the dam of Larcrest 00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:51.699 Commander, a mogul son who ranked No. 31 TPI 00:06:51.699 --> 00:06:55.980 in the US and No. 2 LPI in Canada. Commander 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:58.360 daughters consistently deliver those welded -on 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.660 udders and high components that translate directly 00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:03.600 into easier milking, reduced mastitis treatments, 00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:06.439 and enhanced profitability. But the international 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.100 reach really shows through bulls like Stanton's 00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:12.560 Chief, a high -octane son bred in Ontario, Canada. 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.339 In 2023, Chief's daughters were claiming championships 00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:19.759 everywhere. Les Pons Chief Alina won national 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.019 champion in Germany, Maxima de Bois Senior earned 00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:25.560 the same honor in Belgium, and back in the United 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.879 States, Blexis Chief Bloody Mary captured All 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.379 -American milking yearling honors. Chief's influence 00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:35.579 extends far beyond show rings, though. With over 00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:38.759 22 ,000 daughters in his proof, he represents 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.779 a genetic revolution in action. His daughters 00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:44.319 consistently demonstrate those signature family 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.519 traits. Good strength and width throughout, strong 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.639 loins, wide rumps, and those shallow, smoothly 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.420 attached udders that remain youthful and functional 00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:56.860 throughout extended lactations. Now, I want to 00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.319 talk about Sandy Valley Conway because his story 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.480 really illustrates the practical value these 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.839 genetics deliver. Conway ranked number 13 on 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.600 the daughter -proven TPI charts as of October 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:12.680 2023. with a score of 29 and 59. But here's what 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.779 really gets me excited. Dairymen milking Conway 00:08:15.779 --> 00:08:18.920 daughters report something special. Kevin Jorgensen 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.579 from Select Sires explains it perfectly. Dairymen 00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:25.180 milking Conway daughters have commented that 00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:27.100 they are perhaps milking better than his milk 00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:29.680 proof indicates and that they are very persistent 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.500 in lactation, being better at 150 days in milk 00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:37.860 than they are at 60 days in milk. Mike Larson 00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:40.940 at Larson Acres in Wisconsin, who's milking 2 00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:44.080 ,500 cows, gives us the real -world validation. 00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:47.639 Way above average for type, really excellent 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.220 components, and I would say a bit wetter than 00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:53.200 the proof says. Conway is very consistent in 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.940 what he does, with moderate size, welded -on 00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:59.879 udders, and no glaring type deficiencies. This 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.200 persistence in lactation represents more than 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.830 just a genetic trait. It's the kind of practical 00:09:04.830 --> 00:09:07.590 excellence that builds sustainable dairy operations. 00:09:08.029 --> 00:09:10.649 When cows maintain their production deep into 00:09:10.649 --> 00:09:14.029 lactation, everything improves. Feed efficiency, 00:09:14.409 --> 00:09:17.549 reproductive performance, overall herd profitability. 00:09:18.429 --> 00:09:21.750 Conway's 44 sons entering the Select Sires system 00:09:21.750 --> 00:09:23.929 represent a multiplication of this excellence, 00:09:24.149 --> 00:09:27.049 carrying cosmopolitan genetics to thousands of 00:09:27.049 --> 00:09:29.929 dairy farms where improved udders, enhanced components, 00:09:30.269 --> 00:09:33.059 and extended productive lives translate directly 00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:35.899 into increased profitability and reduced management 00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:39.659 challenges. Now, what really impresses me about 00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:41.960 the Larsen's approach at Larcrest is how they've 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.080 balanced cutting -edge technology with time -tested 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.100 principles. They've developed two distinct breeding 00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:51.240 lines from Crimson's genetics, a high TPI line 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.039 focused on production metrics and a high type 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.730 line emphasizing confirmation excellence. This 00:09:57.730 --> 00:09:59.929 strategic approach allows them to meet diverse 00:09:59.929 --> 00:10:02.450 market demands while preserving those essential 00:10:02.450 --> 00:10:05.950 family characteristics. John explains it this 00:10:05.950 --> 00:10:08.690 way. We've developed two distinct lines from 00:10:08.690 --> 00:10:10.970 Crimson that form the mainstay of our breeding 00:10:10.970 --> 00:10:14.409 program. We have the TPI line and a high -type 00:10:14.409 --> 00:10:17.690 line. On the type side, they work with Crimson's 00:10:17.690 --> 00:10:21.269 EX92 Atwood daughter Cordial, whose dormant daughter 00:10:21.269 --> 00:10:24.889 Circadian scored VG87 as a 2 -year -old with 00:10:24.889 --> 00:10:28.360 an impressive 3 -ive GPAT. But here's what really 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.940 excites John when he talks about what these numbers 00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.080 mean for farmers and their animals. Our two -year 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.840 -olds are better than the previous generations, 00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.580 especially in the areas of fitness and longevity. 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.620 They are more trouble -free than we've ever had 00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:46.419 before. This evolution toward enhanced robustness 00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:50.080 represents more than genetic progress. It embodies 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.559 the values that drive sustainable dairy farming. 00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:55.980 When cows require fewer veterinary interventions, 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.960 maintain better body condition, and extend their 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.559 productive lives, the benefits cascade through 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.639 every aspect of farm management. Feed efficiency 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.779 improves, labor demands decrease, animal welfare 00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:11.940 increases, and profitability grows. The integration 00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:14.460 of genomic testing has revolutionized their breeding 00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:17.120 decisions while maintaining focus on practical 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.590 outcomes. As John notes, It's always rewarding 00:11:20.590 --> 00:11:23.070 when what you see and what the animal turns out 00:11:23.070 --> 00:11:25.769 to be fit exactly with what the numbers predicted. 00:11:26.009 --> 00:11:28.830 And that is just as important to us whether we 00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:30.850 are using it to pick out the high milk heifer 00:11:30.850 --> 00:11:33.750 from a group of siblings or the high type heifer. 00:11:34.909 --> 00:11:38.129 John reflects on the genomic revolution. For 00:11:38.129 --> 00:11:40.870 us, it really has been the realization of what 00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:44.629 genomics promised. Technology has enhanced rather 00:11:44.629 --> 00:11:47.190 than replaced the fundamental principles of good 00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:50.820 breeding and animal husbandry. The family's extraordinary 00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:53.740 impact gained formal recognition in Holstein 00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:56.559 International's Comprehensive Cow Family Tournament 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.159 in 2021, where Larcrest Cosmopolitan secured 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.259 the eighth position among 40 of the world's most 00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:06.600 influential cow families. Judge Byrne Sommer 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.340 characterized her as the powerful combination 00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:12.919 of shoddle and outside, while Mauricio de los 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.940 Santos described her as a strong and speckled 00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:18.919 shoddle daughter. representing an exemplary family 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.559 that has contributed splendidly to breeding all 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.580 over the world, both in the male and female lines. 00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:28.200 The global reach of these genetics is truly remarkable. 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.779 John explains their international approach. The 00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:34.379 main export countries for us have been Japan, 00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.820 Germany, France, and the Netherlands. We really 00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:40.679 value our international clients and enjoy working 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.679 with them. This has created a network of elite 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.000 breeders working with cosmopolitan genetics. 00:12:46.570 --> 00:12:49.230 each adding their expertise to the family's ongoing 00:12:49.230 --> 00:12:53.490 evolution. In Japan, bulls like Cosmopolis became 00:12:53.490 --> 00:12:56.190 among the most popular daughter -proven sires. 00:12:56.370 --> 00:12:58.490 In the Netherlands, Vekas Chevrolet achieved 00:12:58.490 --> 00:13:01.309 success and in Germany, Fnatic made his mark. 00:13:01.750 --> 00:13:04.769 This global network creates a feedback loop of 00:13:04.769 --> 00:13:07.129 genetic improvement where success in different 00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:10.269 environments validates and refines breeding decisions 00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:14.529 made back in Minnesota. Today, the cosmopolitan 00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:16.990 influence continues expanding through currently 00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:20.350 active AI sires, including Genasaur's captain, 00:13:20.590 --> 00:13:23.750 who reached number one TPI in the U .S. in 2025. 00:13:24.750 --> 00:13:27.409 This proves that the family's impact remains 00:13:27.409 --> 00:13:31.250 as strong as ever, nearly 20 years after cosmopolitan 00:13:31.250 --> 00:13:34.389 first captured the world's attention. Strategic 00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:37.149 initiatives at Larkrest, including the development 00:13:37.149 --> 00:13:40.029 of polled genetics through lines like Larkrest 00:13:40.029 --> 00:13:43.250 -Ferra -PRC, show how they continue innovating 00:13:43.250 --> 00:13:46.029 while preserving the family's essential characteristics. 00:13:46.710 --> 00:13:49.690 This willingness to explore new genetic combinations 00:13:49.690 --> 00:13:52.830 while maintaining core family traits ensures 00:13:52.830 --> 00:13:56.070 the legacy will continue evolving to meet future 00:13:56.070 --> 00:13:59.330 industry needs. As I wrap up this incredible 00:13:59.330 --> 00:14:01.529 story, I want you to think about what it really 00:14:01.529 --> 00:14:05.070 represents. Walk into any modern dairy parlor 00:14:05.070 --> 00:14:07.620 from Minnesota to Bavaria, And you might find 00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:10.100 yourself observing the quiet revolution that 00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:14.580 cosmopolitan genetics have created. Her 184 registered 00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:17.860 progeny in the United States represent just the 00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:21.059 beginning. The true measure of her impact lies 00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:23.639 in countless descendants now milking in commercial 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:27.899 herds worldwide. These aren't just genetic abstractions. 00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:30.379 They're cows that maintain their production deeper 00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:33.620 into lactation, require fewer veterinary interventions, 00:14:34.429 --> 00:14:36.610 and generate more profit for farming families. 00:14:37.009 --> 00:14:40.309 Each improved udder reduces mastitis risk and 00:14:40.309 --> 00:14:43.230 treatment costs. Each enhanced component percentage 00:14:43.230 --> 00:14:46.730 increases milk check values. Each extended productive 00:14:46.730 --> 00:14:49.789 life reduces replacement costs and improves herd 00:14:49.789 --> 00:14:52.929 efficiency. The story of Larcrest Cosmopolitan 00:14:52.929 --> 00:14:56.230 ultimately transcends genetics and numbers. In 00:14:56.230 --> 00:14:58.470 an industry where animal welfare, environmental 00:14:58.470 --> 00:15:01.549 stewardship, and economic sustainability increasingly 00:15:01.549 --> 00:15:04.909 define success, This family's evolution toward 00:15:04.909 --> 00:15:07.529 enhanced robustness and functionality provides 00:15:07.529 --> 00:15:09.789 a roadmap for responsible breed development. 00:15:10.389 --> 00:15:13.190 From a single spotted calf born on a Minnesota 00:15:13.190 --> 00:15:16.409 farm to a global genetic empire spanning continents, 00:15:16.710 --> 00:15:19.710 the cosmopolitan dynasty stands as proof that 00:15:19.710 --> 00:15:22.129 exceptional breeding, when guided by wisdom, 00:15:22.309 --> 00:15:25.169 commitment, and respect for both genetic merit 00:15:25.169 --> 00:15:28.429 and practical farming values, can create legacies 00:15:28.429 --> 00:15:31.940 that outlast any individual cow, farm, or even 00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:35.059 generation of breeders. The story continues, 00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:37.799 writing itself in breeding barns from Minnesota 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.480 to Munich, from Ontario to Osaka, wherever dedicated 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.100 breeders recognize that true genetic progress 00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:47.139 comes not from chasing trends, but from developing 00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:49.820 complete animals that excel in all the traits 00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:53.240 that matter to sustainable dairy farming. That 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.519 harmonious balance between genetic excellence 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.899 and sustainable farming practices that may just 00:15:58.899 --> 00:16:02.700 be the most remarkable achievement of all. Thanks 00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:05.299 for joining me on this incredible journey through 00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:08.720 the Larcrest Cosmopolitan legacy. If this story 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.480 teaches us anything, it's that sometimes the 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.000 most extraordinary achievements begin with the 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.000 most fragile circumstances. But with vision, 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.080 dedication, and yes, a little bit of luck, they 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.600 can transform an entire industry. Keep breeding 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.960 those complete cows, folks, and we'll see you 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:38.080 next time on the Bullvine Podcast. They never 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:42.519 will die. From the show ring, from the tune, 00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:48.059 the quiet strength they knew. Hear their stories 00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:54.440 now, coming right on through. Oh, tell the tale, 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:59.700 tell the tale, the Beaumont legends live here.
