Stephen Janz, a renown 30 plus year breeder of Highland cattle in Germany and author of Highland Cattle, Icon of the Scottish Highlands called A Keen Eye a “Legendary classic” that “…accompanied me for most of my breeders life. It was a book that I love and have come back to time and again.”

A. McArthur, President of Scotland’s Highland Cattle Society at the time of the original publication called A Keen Eye “…a unique publication which has been thoughtfully arranged to be of enormous interest to any reader – no matter what the level of experience they may have.”
