Holstein UK announces the winners of its sought-after 2015 All Britain Awards on Saturday 12 March at the All Britain Awards presentation dinner and dance in Carlisle, held in conjunction with the UK Dairy Expo.
Voted on by the Breed Society’s National Judges panel, the 2015 winners are a true reflection of the best Holsteins that the UK has to offer.
Divided into 11 classes, ranging from Junior Heifer to Mature Cow, this year’s competition saw 121 entries compete for the champion accolades.
Holstein UK’s Chairman of the Board, Mr Andrew Dutton, commented: “The standard of entrants for the 2015 All Britain Awards has been exceptionally high and this year the judges have had to review a record number of quality Holsteins.
