Hay Buen Ganado

We Swiss still adhere to our rural roots and Swiss farmers are loyal patriots (they better are, they cost us a fortune). Our former Mister Switzerland was a farmer (see him milking). No one has ever made more money out of this title. The Swiss farmers in return took a shine to Fiona Heft, Miss Switzerland 2004. Last year, they named 1’211 female calf after her. That put her name on the top of the list. Most probably, the name Renzo will lead this year's list for bull calf.



To the title and more about Swiss cattle: "Hay buen ganado" (it has good cattle) was the phrase, a young Mexican friend of Toño used about the crowd, when he took her to a Swiss dance club. Cattle and people are united in Switzerland.

She looks simpy great and somehow natural.

You brought me back a lot of beautiful and funny memories from my friends in México, that I just wrote them an e-mail with copie to you. I wish they can visit us this year...

Aha! But when we Anglos talk about a club being a cattle-market it's usually a bad thing!

Anglo women are so up themselves sometimes!
