Holstein UK celebrated 100 years of cattle breeding history as part of its centennial year celebrations with the 28th hosting of the National Holstein Show at The National Agricultural Centre, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire.

Judge Brian Carscadden placed the sixth lactation Bassingthorpe Leader Dilys as his Mature, Best Udder and Supreme Champion.

A full report on the 2009 UK National Show will appear in an upcoming issue of Holstein World.

Earlier this month I traveled to the MN All Breeds Dairy Convention in Rochester, MN. While there I found some time to interview a few Minnesota breeders for what I like to call “The Holstein World Breeder Minute”. This is the newest feature to the All Breeds Blog and one that I hope to develop into a regular message. Click on the play button below and enjoy!
