Challenging calves provide a real test for Jonny and Emily at Verden debut

摘要

The last week of February saw Lancashire's Jonny Woodhouse and Emily Davis from Devon travel to the MASTERS Open competition to compete against 29 other competing teams from 10 different countries. Now in its second year, the competition takes place in the lead-up to the MASTERRIND Exclusive Auktion and Schauder Besten. Twenty-one-year-old Jonny was representing Holstein UK in the senior competition with 18-year-old Emily in the junior competition. First port of call was MASTERRIND's head office for introductions, lunch, a tour of the facilities....and the highly-anticipated calf draw. The facilities were extremely impressive and both Emily and Jonny very much enjoyed viewing the bull studfhome to 80 of MASTERRIND's dairy and beef bulls. After familiarising themselves with the company, Jonny and Emily took part in a short quiz before travelling across to the showground to be introduced to the calves they would spend the next two days preparing for the show-ring.
