The 2009 Hokkaido Holstein National Show is taking place in Otofuke, Hokkaido, Japan this weekend and the Holstein World is delighted to get this very full report of results from the first day!

The official judge this year is Masaki Kushida, a very successful Holstein breeder and owner of Kushida Farm in Shimizu, Hokkaido. Mr. Kushida spent some time in the US after he graduated from college as a trainee at Pinehurst Farms in Wisconsin. The Associate Judge is Mr Toshihiro Koizumi from the Hokkaido Holstein Agricultural Cooperation.

Right: Official Judge: MASAKI KUSHIDA
Left: Associate Judge: TOSHIHIRO KOIZUMI

The show is being held in the east-central Hokkaido town of Otofuke – a different location than last year’s show. That arena is undergoing a major renovation in order to prepare for next year’s All-Japan Show, which is held only once every five years.

The heifers and 2- and 3-year-old cow classes were held today. 182 heifers and 137 younger cows were paraded before the judges. The senior cows classes will be shown tomorrow followed by the selection of all the champions.

Animals must qualify to compete at the Hokkaido National Show by placing very high at their district shows. No heifers younger than 10 months are exhibited at this show. The heifer classes are broken into two month periods from 10 months to 22 months – six heifer classes in all.

“What a great opportunity to get in some fantastic genetics.” said Ernie Kueffner. “We’re all here because we love this business no matter what the economic situation is. The most important thing to us is that you take these animals home and take care of them. They’ll take good care of you!”

And with that – the sale got underway. An ongoing silent sale for semen was set up near the clerk’s desk. The crowd was also invited to stay after the sale was over to join the Arethusa/Kueffner team for a complimentary dinner.
