Holstein UK has released the winners of its coveted All Britain Awards.
Voted on by the Breed Society’s 43-strong National Judges panel, the 2013 winners showcase the best of British Holsteins.
Divided into 10 classes, ranging from Mature Cow to Junior Heifer, this year’s competition saw entries rise to 110.
Mr Carl Smith, Holstein UK’s Non-Executive Director for Shows and Sales commented: “The standard of entries for this year’s All Britain Awards has really raised the bar for this top competition.
“Receiving an All Britain Award is an outstanding accolade for any breeder and, on behalf of Holstein UK, I would like to thank all entrants for submitting entries and congratulate the finalists on their great achievement.”
The winners were announced on Saturday 8 March at the All Britain Awards presentation and dance in Carlisle, held in conjunction with the UK Dairy Expo.
