Holstein takes top honours at UK Dairy Expo

摘要

She always looked like the cow to beat, despite a strong championship challenge from a seasoned campaigner, but the Holstein cow Weeton Lheros A Balise received the winning "slap" to notch up a convincing victory and capture the supreme all-breed championship title at the inaugural Borderway UK Dairy Expo event at Borderway Mart, Carlisle. Even among big cows she is considered big, but while this fourth calver has strength, depth and power, Canadian breed judge Donald Dubois was impressed with her "dairyness and outstanding udder". "Her front udder takes some beating but the height and width of the rear attachment is outstanding - combine that with the rest of her and you have a worthy champion in very good company," he said.
