1979 – Arrival of TULIPE in Holland with Anton Van Nieuwenhuize
4 Hannover-Hills Triple Threat daughters from Switzerland were brought to the Paris show. Unfortunately, IBR disease infected them all. When they came back to Switzerland 3 of them were immediately slaughtered, as the country was free of IBR. To avoid to slaughter the best of these 4 cows, Guex Triple TULIPE Red EX-98, J-L Schrago had her transferred to Holland.
She survived until 15 years old and produced many famous offsprings. At the same time, TULIPE did a great promotion of the Red Holstein crossing program. At this time, Holland started a large crossing program with the MRY breed.
