Well this week has seen the judging of the Northumbria Holstein Breeders Club annual herds competition . I think it went quite well , and , true to form , it was the Chloanne cows that headed up the team .
I entered 2 cows into the Cow class, Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious and Chloanne Webster Gracious , representing both youth and experience respectively.
For heifer on inspection and production , i entered Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious 2, she is very far on in her lactation now , and yet STILL looks amazing.
I enetered Chloanne Webster Gracious for the Supercow class too , as she has great combined fat and protien figures.
For the cow family class, naturally i chose the Gracious family as a whole , to enter .They just stood perfectly and it would be an amazing achievement to lift the Cow Family trophy for a 4th year in a row .
Results are not until Jan 2010 , so best to switch off and forget about it .
Another great piece of news this week is that Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious is to be contract mated again by Cogent Breeding Ltd. This is just the best news ever and this time they would like to try and get a bull calf by Morningview Legend. All exciting stuff and hopefully before all that i will be able to flush her too , just to try and get some valuable embryos. At the moment i am still looking at suitable sires for the flush, one being Scooby Duu and the other being Regancrest Mr Durham Sam.
