windland flats -- Princeton, Minnesota

Windland Flats hosted a NCHCA summer picnic on July 16 at their farm in Princeton, Minn. The event was a great time to network with other Highland enthusiasts from throughout the Upper Midwest. In addition, to a farm tour, the event featured Dr. Ashley Swenson, DVM and owner of Midwest Embryo Transfer Service. Dr. Swenson presented the ins-and-outs of embryos, including the benefits of using embryos and how to decide if they are right for your operation.
Many thanks to Josh and Maria Krenz for hosting a great afternoon of learning and conversations.
