In the heifer classes, Butlerview Farm claimed both Junior Champion and Reserve Junior Champion with WINRIGHT SK CREME BRULEE (SIDEKICK) and MAPLEBROUGH IPASS P RHONWYN (IPASS-P), respectively, from the Winter Yearling class. The judge praised CREME BRULEE for her exceptional width throughout and “drop to the first rib,” while RHONWYN impressed with her “style, angularity, dairiness.” Butlerview’s MILKSOURCE A TIERNEY-RED (ARCHITECT) earned Honorable Mention after winning the Fall Yearling class with her “incredible balance” and free movement.

The Grand & Senior Champion banner went to LOVHILL SIDEKICK KANDY CANE (SIDEKICK), exhibited by Alicia & Jonathan Lamb, who dominated the Five-Year-Old class with her “unbelievable udder” featuring exceptional “symmetry, texture, veination, quality, and definition of the seam.” UNDERGROUND ADELINE (AWESOME), a remarkable ten-year-old from Glamourview & Eaton Holsteins, secured Reserve Senior Champion after winning the Lifetime Production class, while JACOBS AVALANCHE BRADLY (AVALANCHE), also from Glamourview, received Honorable Mention after topping the Aged Cow class.

Grand Champion

The Grand Champion parade was an “absolutely unbelievable” lineup of mature cows that the judge predicted would “compete at the highest and highest levels” throughout the show season. In what Krohlow described as an “extremely extremely close” decision for Grand Champion, LOVHILL SIDEKICK KANDY CANE, sired by SIDEKICK and exhibited by Alicia & Jonathan Lamb of Oakfield, NY, emerged as the Grand Champion and Best Udder of Show winner after previously topping the Five-Year-Old class. Krohlow was effusive in his praise for the champion, describing her as “on the money” with a dairy appearance that “amazes me.” He highlighted her exceptional dairy character, noting she’s “dairy, long, and feminine yet has so much chest” while walking “so free” with a “perfect” and “symmetric” udder. UNDERGROUND ADELINE, sired by AWESOME and exhibited by Glamourview & Eaton Holsteins of Marietta, NY, secured Reserve Grand Champion honors after winning the Lifetime Production Cow class. The judge acknowledged this “beautiful cow” for her impressive longevity, being “that’s she is 10 years old” with “beautiful” udder attachments. JACOBS AVALANCHE BRADLY, sired by AVALANCHE and exhibited by Glamourview, Currie Holsteins & Eaton Holsteins of Marietta, NY, received Honorable Mention after winning the Aged Cow class, with the judge describing her as a “silky, dairy black cow” though lacking the “width all the way through” compared to the Reserve Champion.

TOPP-VIEW B RB CHEERIO-ET, sired by BURGUNDY-RED and exhibited by Genetics Link of Somerset, PA, secured second place, with the judge acknowledging her as a “high-style cow” that contributed to making this a competitive class worthy of “congratulations.”

SENIOR 3-YEAR-OLD (10)

The Senior Three Year Old was a “beautiful class of animals all the way down,” with particular emphasis on the quality of the six animals in the final lineup. The top pair were described as fitting together “perfectly,” with both exhibiting exceptional dairyness and quality while maintaining “tremendous balance.” DONACIN DELTA-LAMBDA RAIN, sired by DELTA-LAMBDA and exhibited by Austin, Adam & Terrance Yoder of Montezuma, GA, secured the top position with her superior mammary system. Krohlow particularly praised the “tightness right at the top of the rear udder attachment” and the “veination and quality all the way through her mammary system,” along with slightly better “teat size and shape” compared to the second-place animal. LOYALYN BAROLO JUNIPER, sired by BAROLO and exhibited by Pierre Boulet & Cedar Lane Farm LLC of Montmagny, QC, claimed second place with her “beautiful silky dairy” quality. The judge noted her “overall silkiness” and “quality from end to end,” describing her as “silkier about her hide” with better “bone and flatness right down in the hock.” GRACE-LEIGH BEAUTIFUL-ET, sired by MOOVIN and exhibited by Eoghan McGarr of King Ferry, NY, rounded out the top three with her “beautiful udder” that showed “so much width, top to bottom.” Krohlow emphasized her exceptional width throughout, noting she’s “wider in chest floor, brisket” and “wider all the way through midsection” compared to the fourth-place LIDDLEHOLME KINGDOC MORGAN, which still impressed as a “silky white cow” with strong dairy character.

4-YEAR-OLD (10)

The Four Year Old class highlighted a diverse lineup of cows in “different stages of lactation” and “different mixed models,” making it “not the easiest class to line up.” Despite these challenges, the quality throughout the class was impressive, with the judge noting “really, really nice” animals from top to bottom. ELM BEND GAPSTER, sired by MASTER and exhibited by Elmvue Farm of Johnstown, NY, emerged as the clear winner. Krohlow described her as a “laser cow” with “so much width power and chest” and the “complete package of dairy strength.” In her third lactation, this cow particularly impressed with her “tremendous mammary”. MCWILLIAMS LAMBDA WIZARD, sired by DELTA-LAMBDA and exhibited by Pappys Farm of North Lewisburg, OH, secured second place with her “extremely balanced” frame and “tremendous attached mammary system.” Krohlow admired her “definition,” “quality,” and “veination and texture,” though noting she had “lower definition of seam on the back of the udder” compared to the class winner. JM VALLEY SIDEKICK JACUZZI, sired by SIDEKICK and exhibited by Pierre Boulet & Butlerview Farm of Montmagny, QC, rounded out the top three as a “really powerful” cow with “so much width all the way throughout.” While her udder wasn’t “quite square from the left to the right side” in the rear, the judge still recognized her as a “tremendous individual.” WARGO-ACRES DOC 3707 IRIS, sired by KING DOC and also exhibited by Elmvue Farm, placed fourth with her “free-flowing”.

The Aged Cow class showcased exceptional quality throughout the lineup, with the judge noting “every single one of these cows in this class” demonstrated impressive attributes. JACOBS AVALANCHE BRADLY, sired by AVALANCHE and exhibited by Glamourview, Currie Holsteins & Eaton Holsteins of Marietta, NY, emerged as the cow that “handily walks away with the class” as a “beautiful, beautiful dairy cow.” Krohlow particularly admired her “quality, dairiness” and how she displayed “more spring openness through her barrel” with “more pop and snap right at the top of the rear udder attachment.” In second place was KINGSWAY DEMPSEY NORA, sired by DEMPSEY and exhibited by Elmvue Farm of Johnstown, NY, described as a “beautiful balanced cow” with a “tremendous udder.” The judge noted how she “blends so nicely all the way throughout” and placed her over the third-place animal due to her “length of frame” being “longer from end to end” with “more width right at the top of that rear udder attachment.” OAKFIELD SOLOMON SUNSET-ET, sired by SOLOMON and exhibited by Alicia & Jonathan Lamb of Oakfield, NY, secured third place as a “tremendous udder cow” with “beautiful balance from end to end.” EXTRAMILE INTENSE DOORMAN, sired by DOORMAN and exhibited by Mount Elgin Dairy Farms of Guelph, ON, rounded out the top four with her “silkiness,” “dairyness,” and “angularity.” The entire class represented what Krohlow called “a beautiful class of aged cows from top to bottom.”

LIFETIME PRODUCTION COW (5)

The Lifetime Production Cow class had five exceptional cows with remarkable longevity and sustained production capabilities. UNDERGROUND ADELINE, sired by AWESOME and exhibited by Glamourview & Eaton Holsteins of Marietta, NY, emerged as the “tremendous winner” at “ten years old.” Krohlow praised her youthful appearance and balance, noting her “tremendous width through out” and “unbelievable mammary system.” The judge particularly admired her udder’s “snugness” and “quality of veination” throughout, highlighting the “more bloom right at the top of that rear udder attachment” that separated her from the second-place cow. TUSC-VU AVALANCHE CALI-ET, sired by AVALANCHE and exhibited by Isaac Folts of North Collins, NY, secured second place as a cow that’s “really, really close to being number one.” While she demonstrated impressive dairy strength “throughout,” she couldn’t match the winner’s rear udder attachment. PIERSTEIN CICERO TIME OUT-ET, sired by CICERO and exhibited by Elmvue Farm of Johnstown, NY, placed third with “more pop” and “more veination in rear udder.” SHO MAR CRUSH EVERYONE, sired by CRUSH and exhibited by Mark Brantner of Seagertown, PA, rounded out the top four with her “beautiful udder” that wasn’t quite as “bloomy” as the higher-placed animals. The judge noted her advantage in “overall frame” being “deeper all the way throughout” with a “fuller fore udder,” demonstrating the exceptional quality throughout this “beautiful class of five cows.”
