🛑Lot 22 | The Points Kingdoc Isabel🛑
Selling this Wednesday at the Winter Opportunity Sale Bendigo.

The story of the Isabel’s…
Ian's Grandfather, the late Roy Smith, purchased a big white holstein cow from Mick Vallance at Bacchus Marsh in the early 1960's.
She was taken back to the family farm at Wollert and Ian's parents named her Isabel and from there the family continued to develop. The bull Blossom Park Royal Breuo was purchased from the dispersal sale of Blossom Park Stud at Mill Park that was run by Brother Thornton. This mating resulted in a heifer that we purchased from the family when we started out at The Points. She was flushed to Hardtac and the family flourished from then on.
