The “Queen” of Benbie Holsteins has passed away. The graceful Huntsdale Shottle Crusade EX 95 3E passed away on April 1st, 2018.
“Cows will come and cows will go, but few stay in our hearts forever. Huntsdale Shottle Crusade was a special cow indeed. Purchased in 2007 Crusade would slowly develop and continually add to her list of accomplishments. Her calm demeanour, will to milk, and resilience were some of her best attributes,” says Benbie Holsteins.
She provided Benbie Holsteins with a lot of ‘first’ accomplishments. Her list of accomplishments speak volumes to what a truly remarkable and one of a kind cow she was.
