Dear Dr Othieno, Many thanks for your very informative articles. I am not only a dairy farmer but also a lover of livestock breeds. For a long time, I have been keeping Friesian crosses. Recently, on a visit to a friend's farm, I came across a nice breed which my friend said was Brown Swiss. I told him I must buy that breed. However, I do not have much information and I will greatly appreciate your take on this breed. - Geoffrey Mutai, Bomet
