21.01.2022 Today’s feature is Cow of the Year finalist Elmar Goldwyn Jessica 11 ET EX92-3E. Born 14/08/2010, best lactation 11,877 litres (age 3-11), production ABV: BPI +276 HWI +233 TWI +332 ASI +174. Thirty-three progeny (15 females, 14 classified 9 VG, 5 GP); 40 grand progeny (28 females, 2 classified 1 VG, 1 GP). A strong contender in the ring, (2018 IDW Holstein Champion & Grand Champion, 2018 Reserve All Australian Mature Cow and IDW winner taking out 1st place in the 1st 4 Year...s in Milk category as well as Reserve Holstein Champion & Supreme Udder in 2015) owners Steven and Deanne Hore say: Jessica 11 has really helped promote the Aussie bred Jessica family with her show winning achievements and has put our Jessica cow family in the spotlight, continuing the strong cow family traditions. Her progeny are doing well with Solomon Jessica 5th ET VG87 winning the interbreed intermediate champion at IDW this year. Jessica 11 has 14 daughters in milk and all have high classifications. We believe she is going to be a great brood cow at Elmar. Our Judge comments: Another worthy finalist from the remarkable Jessica family that continues to produce a tremendous line of cows with high production, great classification and always catching the judge’s eye. Check back tomorrow for a run down on our next contender, Clydevale Mrsam Pisa (g). The COTY winner will be announced next Monday (26 Oct). Elmar Holsteins Australia Cowsmopolitan, Inc.

12.01.2022 Concluding our Cow of the Year finalist list is none other than Clydevale Mrsam Pisa (g). Born 11/11/2008, best lactation 12,610 litres (age 5-8), production ABV: BPI +113 HWI +58 TWI +148 ASI +134. Twenty six progeny (16 females, 12 classified 1 EX, 10 VG, 1 GP); 83 grand progeny (74 females, 24 classified 5 VG, 19 GP); 60 great great grand progeny and 5 great great great grand progeny. A favourite of the distinguished Dee family herd, Pisa shows fantastic dairy strength wit...h a great udder and outstanding production with an average PI 115. The mother and grandmother of an Al bull, she has an aggressive feeding nature carried through her progeny and is no stranger to winning shows or the On-Farm Challenge. Owners say: She is breeding well, is easy to work with and is one of our highest producing cows with the highest ABV we've ever had. Her genetics will leave a mark on the breed for years to come, through the use of Pisa's sons and grandsons in our herd and others around Australia. Our Judge comments: Mrsam Pisa does everything right whether it's her breeding, her production and her multiple show and OFC awards. Such as wonderful cow and a real credit to the breeders and owners. Good luck to all finalists! Make sure you tune in for Monday's announcement of the winner of the 2020 COTY.

Illawambra River Sleepy 3950-CNF-DPF-BLF (426 BPI) was best young female with a first genomic breeding value, top young female and went straight in at number one on the overall top cows list. Illawambra Holsteins’ Trevor Parrish says: We had sixteen calves all up in the run from River, including 6... bulls, with an average of 331 BPI for the ten heifers and 6 bulls. Illawambra River Sleepy is extreme for daughter fertility and mastitis, and is four points higher than her mother was."

09.01.2022 COVID-19 update: 2020 Semex Holstein Australia On-Farm Competition In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic Semex Australia and Holstein Australia have jointly taken the decision to cancel this year’s Semex Holstein Australia On-Farm Competition. Holstein Australia CEO, Rohan Butler, says the decision was reluctantly reached following discussion with Semex Australia and consultation with the Holstein Australia board.... This has been a difficult decision, but one ultimately taken in the best interest for the safety of members and all those involved in organising and running this event throughout the country. With each state implementing different cross-border requirements and restrictions on movement and social gatherings within each state, it is not possible logistically to organise a national on-farm event. There are also the very obvious health and safety factors to consider with guidelines, recommendations and enforceable laws the subject of constant change as the situation within Australia continues to evolve. Both Semex and Holstein Australia are aware of the importance of this event - celebrating its 20th year this year - to our Sub-Branches and the Holstein community. We are already planning for 2021 when the On-Farm Competition will be back to celebrate it’s 21st, says Rohan. Semex Australia General Manager, David Mayo, says the health and safety of participants, judges and the staff involved in what is the southern hemispheres largest dairy livestock judging competition must come first. With the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation in Australia it is impossible to predict where we will be next week or next month at the moment. Cancelling the 2020 On-Farm Competition, which I know will disappoint many, is the responsible course of action. As with so many other dairy events and shows, Semex remains committed to the competition and we will be back as soon as it is safe and practicable to hold a national event that brings together hundreds of Holstein Australia members from all our dairy producing states, says David.

07.01.2022 In the words of our judges: A very balanced heifer won the Semex-Holstein Australia All-Australian Senior Yearling Dry (under 15 months) class, a heifer that we all liked for her dairy strength and squareness of frame. We placed her over the Reserve because she was more correct through her frontend and displayed more depth through her mid-section. In placing the Reserve over Honourable Mention, we found the Reserve to have more length and depth of body. Congratulations to o...wner Luke Gardiner, breeder JH & CJ Gardiner, VIC and all at Avonlea Holsteins who have taken out the class with AVONLEA GOLDSUN EVIE (Sire: Toc-Farm Goldsun-ET / Dam: Glenalbas Shottle Evie-ET). Reserve is WINWOOD DIAMONDBACK BAE (Sire: Mr D Apple Diamondback / Dam: Rockstar Armani Bambam-IMP-ET), owned by Mal R Nikora and K Bleijendaal, Breeder Mal R Nikora, VIC. Honourable Mention is our All-Australian Calf Class Winner, CLYDEVALE PISTON SUNSMART (Sire: Clydevale Contrast Piston-ET / Dam: Clydevale Soloman Sunspot-ET), owned and bred by Clydevale Holsteins, VIC.

Taking our first place is ECLIPSE AVALANCHE DELIGHT-RED (Sire: Dymentholm Mr Apples Avalanche Dam: Eclipse Adonis Delight-RED) owned by R&R Walmsley, SA and bred by Richard Hull, VIC.

Reserve is GLOMAR HOTLINE SARAH 6200-MFF-CNF-DPF-XIF-BLF (Sire: Peak Hotline-ET Dam: Glomar Goldwyn Sarah 4601-ET) owned and bred by R Johnston, VIC. The reserve was a young cow with a lot of dairy quality and this combined with her overall angularity placed her over the honourable mention.

05.01.2022 Later today we’ll be announcing our Cow of the Year. Former Federal President and guest breeder judge this year, David Johnston, Segenhoe Park Holsteins, gives his take on the significance of this award. The Cow of the Year has a lot to prove longevity, worthwhile to dairy herd in terms of production, breeding, offspring and how these cows perform it’s the whole package. It also says a lot about the skills of the breeders. If you look back over the years in almost every ...case the breeder of the Cow of the Year is renowned for animal husbandry. The people working with them have got to have the skills to develop them, make the most of them over the years. This year we had a line-up like I don’t think I’ve seen before. The three finalists challenged each other all the way. Just an incredible standard and very rare to get three cows so close in almost every way. They are a real credit to all the people responsible for the management of these animals, particularly where longevity and production are concerned. Keep your eye on our Facebook page for news of our winner for this year. David Johnston at the Victorian Winter Fair during his time as President.

03.01.2022 Winning the senior two year old Semex-Holstein Australia All-Australian class is a very clean cut feminine young cow, AVONLEA CONCLUSION DREAM (Sire: Avonlea Atwood Conclusion-IMP-ET Dam: Murribrook Goldwyn Dream-ET), owned and bred by JH & JC Gardiner, Avonlea Holsteins, in the opinion of the judges the most angular cow in the class with a beautiful udder. It was the quality of her udder, in particular the evenness between her fore and rear quarters and her slope from hip ...to pin that raised her above the reserve champion, EASTVIEW JACOBY BONNIE-ET (Sire: Cycle Doorman Jacoby-ET Dam: Eastview Contender Bonnie-ET), owned and bred by Scott & Philippa Robinson, VIC. In a closer placing the judges gave the reserve champion a slight advantage in the openness of her frame and found her to be cleaner and more silky hided than the honourable mention, CLYDEVALE SOLOMON FOXY-ET-CNF-DPF-XIF-BLF (Sire: Walnutlawn Solomon-ET Dam: Clydevale Panopoly Feather), owned and bred by Clydevale Holsteins.
