It proved a successful day for the Holstein breed in the cattle rings of this year's Royal Highland Show.

The breed took supreme interbreed champion, junior interbreed champion and the champion group of four.

Success

Continuing on from the success at last year's show, Blythbridge Holstein secured the overall Holstein championship and supreme interbreed championship.

Their four-year-old cow, Blythbridge Jessy, did one better than the 2018 show where she claimed the reserve interbreed championship. Currently in her third lactation, the EX92-classified third-calver is currently giving 50l/day, having calved in November.

Following close behind to take the Jersey championship and reserve supreme championship was Clifton Vanahelm Clover.

Exhibited by Robbie Scott, this win marks a great achievement for the breeder at his first Highland show.

This stylish young cow is calved since November and is currently giving in excess of 40l/day.

Classified EX92, Clover is no stranger to success, having claimed the breed championship at the UK dairy expo in March.

Junior interbreed

The Holstein breed was also in front when it came to the overall junior interbreed champion.

Their champion junior, Logan Estate Jack from Brian Yates, ticked all the boxes for judge Paul Harrison.

This young two-year-old first-calver is calved since 20 April and is currently giving 38l a day.

This marks the first day out for the stylish young cow, but the achievement is nothing new to Yates, who also claimed the title last year with a heifer owned in partnership.

Standing reserve junior interbreed was the Ayshire first-calver Cuthill Modern Marcy.

Brought out by A & S Lawrie from Kinross, Marcy is calver since March and giving 40l a day.

Again no strangers to success, Messrs Lawrie secured the supreme dairy interbreed at the show three years ago.
