The Young breeder’s school 2013 in Battice, Belgium is once again a big success. Over 140 young motivated breeders from at least 14 different countries (Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Quebec, Sweden and the United Kingdom) are presented at this year’s edition.
The school provides a good training for young people (12-25) to prepare themselves for a Holstein show. They learn everything from clipping to judging and showing an animal. Everyone has their own animal that they clip individually and show on Saturday for the showmanship competition and on Sunday for the conformation of the animal. Who wins the competition has the pleasure do to training in Canada for 3 weeks.
This year’s judge will be Thierry Jaton from Coaticook, Quebec, Canada.
