I AM in the process of writing an article on George Odlum and his world famous herd of British Friesians, and would welcome the opportunity to talk to anyone who knew him or has details about his achievements.

Between 1926 and 1942 he lived at Manor Farm, Manningford, before selling it to Robert Hudson, the Wartime Minister of Agriculture.
