United Kingdom

Pitch black, powerful from head to tail with a very solid udder. Based on these qualities, Enchanted Abbiene owned by the Coates/Greenhalgh families became the champion of the Great Yorkshire Show. As is so often the case in Great Britain, the visible qualities are supported by a deep pedigree: Beemer-EX93Gold Chip-EX91Titanic-EX95Durham-Shoremar Alicia EX-97 (photo). Becoming Reserve Grand of the high quality “open air” competition was Whinchat Angela 2 (Abbott-Arudolf) owned by Burkle.

US

In the US, the show season is in full swing. In New England, the Holstein show was won by the youthful Senior Champion, Pineland-Haven Hugs (Devour-Atlantic). Morrill Ava 3949-Red (<Avalanche) won the Red Holstein competition. In Illinois, Belmoral Nediva, a three-year-old Apple-Crisp daughter owned by Butler, added the Holstein show to her resume.
