Judge’s comments -
Class 1
Just a great class of 2 year old heifers. This shows that the future of the breed looks very good.
The first cow is just a super dairy cow sharp boned deep body with great loin strength with a long wide rump. She displays a very well attached udder with great teat placement.
The cow I placed 2nd has been calved since March. She shows good depth and openness of rib with a well attached udder and walks on a good set of legs and feet.
3rd cow is a long cow with a well attached udder and with a strong ligament.
4th cow is a lovely boned and open and angular ribbed animal and also has great veining and soft udder.
5th cow is a good deep body heifer with a well attached udder with good teat placement.
A very good group of young heifers.
Class 2
The second class has a super dairy cow in first place. She has a good strong muzzle with very open nostrils with a very soft udder with great veining.
2nd cow is a long deep body cow with a long wide rump and has a soft and well attached udder.
3rd cow is a good boned cow with a long wide rump with good pin set with a high wide rear udder with good ligament.
4th cow is a little deep in the brisket for now but has been calved 9 months. I’m sure she would milk it off. She has a great wider rump with a well attached udder with good teat placement.
5th cow is a good angular cow with a good attached fore udder and has good teat placement.
Class 3
We start with a long deep body cow with a great attached udder both fore and rear with great teat placement and length. Lovely front end cow with vertebra and walks on a good set of legs & feet.
2nd cow has a deep body, strong loin, a well attached udder with good teat placement and walks on a good set of legs & feet.
3rd cow is a little side quartered she is a deep opened ribbed cow with a long wide rump and displays a good centre ligament.
4th cow lacks a bit of strength; she has a well attached udder with good teat placement.
5th cow is angular with a well attached udder with good veining and walks on a good set of legs & feet.
Class 4
1st place goes to an open nostril and wide muzzle cow with a deep open body with a well attached udder especially the high and wide rear udder. There is not much between the 1st & 2nd cow except for front teat placement.
2nd cow is another deep ribbed cow with a long wide rump with good pin set a high wide rear udder with good veining to the udder.
3rd cow displays good dairyness with nice veining of the udder and good centre ligament.
4th cow is a deep body strong loin cow with a long wide rump with a high wide rear udder.
5th cow is a good wide muzzled cow with a well attached udder with good veining to the fore & rear udder.
Class 5
The mature class we start with 3 sharp boned cows.
Cow in first place has a strong wide muzzle, great front end with big deep body and a well attached udder with good teat placement and a super wide rear udder and a very well attached udder for a 9 year cow.
2nd is a six year old with great openness and angular rib long wide rump with good pin set. She has an attached fore & rear udder and walks on a good set of legs.
3rd cow is also a 9yr old cow with a wide muzzle and strong loin with a good long wide rump with good veining to the udder.
4th cow is a deep body strong loined cow who has a super wide rear udder and handles this udder well for an 11 year old cow.
5th cow is a little side quartered but has a super long deep body with a well attached udder and a log wide rump.
5 great mature cows a credit to the breeders.
