The Kykso herd currently still consist out of 19 cow family's! Each cow bought by Kykso in the 1960's & 70's started there own cow line or Cow family. Most cow family's originated from Germany with 3 from Namibia (Sonnleiten) and one from Austria. It is interesting to note that some cow family's is famous in breeding well known bulls and others well known cows. Some cow family's is more outstanding than others. The mother line and father line reflect in the name of every Kykso animal. In the female offspring the beginning of the mothers name is used first and last the fathers name. The cow Mivha got the Miv from mother Mivla and the ha from father Hadau. With male animals the fathers name is used first. If Mivha was a bullcalf she probably would be named Hamiv or Hami.....
