The votes have been counted and the results are in! Here are the winners of the 2019 Holstein All-American Contest!
The nominees were selected by a 5-person committee in early December. Ballots were then sent to a 19-person judging panel and the final point totals tabulated from those votes:
1st place votes = 7 points
2nd place votes = 3 points
3rd place votes = 1 point
The animal with the highest vote total is the All-American; 2nd highest is Reserve All-American. Any animal with a 20 or more total points is designated High Honorable Mention All-American, and an animal that garners 15-19 points earns Honorable Mention All-American status.
Congratulations to the owners and breeders of this tremendous group of Holsteins! Look for the winners to be featured in the Spring issue of Cowsmopolitan coming to your mailboxes in early March!
