The Chief Minister lodged a draft law yesterday which, if approved, would allow bull semen from other countries to be used in the breeding of the world-famous cow.
The issue has divided opinion among farmers for nearly 40 years. Farmers in support of the importation argue that access to prized bulls from all over the world will improve their herds, providing more milk and healthier animals.
Opponents say that it will ruin the purity and appearance of the
Island’s breed.
