Liz was lucky enough to visit the farm and meet the owners during a college field study to California to learn about farming there. She loved seeing Zandra and other well-knows cows.
Mandy, an Ocean-View Zenith daughter and two-time junior champion at Altamont fair,
being milked in the fair parlor.
Here at Northview we have many daughters of bulls from that farm, including Liz's retired show cow, Mandy (Ocean-View Zenith), and Becky's Lemonade (Ocean View Extra Special), Camry, same sire as Lemmie, and several others.
I guess there comes a time for all things to end, but we will miss Ocean-View and their beautiful cows and high-transmitting bulls.

Good lookin' Holstein!
I see that Windsor, CA isn't right on the coast, but I'm sure they do have a good Pacific view. Yes, it's always sad to see long-term success come to an end. While visiting my daughter and exploring the "Bay Area" coastline, I've seen some cattle grazing right on the coast. Seriously... the most beautiful waterfront pasture, somewhere between San Jose and Big Sur. I was jealous of those cows (and happy for them).
TJ, thanks!
Susan Rose, sounds like an amazing place. I have, alas, never been farthe west than Idaho..
