The 12 Greatest North American Colored Breed Show Cattle of All-Time


As a follow up to our 8 Greatest North American Holstein Show Cows of All-Time we now turn our focus onto the Colored breeds.  With many breeds with cows from different eras this was certainly one of our of biggest challenges to date.  To choose we focused heavily on how much they dominated in their breed and era, as opposed to overall personal conformation.  Here is what we found.

The Bullvine Bottom Line.

While I am sure you can debate which cows were actually better than others, the only way to fairly judge was to look at how much they dominated in their own breed and era. The one thing that comes to light for sure is just how much Snickerdoodle has dominated the Brown Swiss breed, and hence her being named the greatest North American Colored Breed Show Cow of All-Time.


Comments

  1. andrew maybe you would know the truth on this. i heard from someone that while veronica was in canada for the royal(i think it might have been when she went on to become the intermediate champ and the reserve grand jersey in 2002) that she got stuck over the border for a couple years because of mad cow outbreak. is this true? if so in my opinion if she had been able to be in the US there is no doubt she would have won way more titles. she is by far the best jersey the breed ever saw. would love to hear your input

  2. And once again, the Milking Shorthorn gets left out. What about Lobelia 72d? She won Grand at WDE 6 different years long before Snickerdoodle did it. I would certainly call that dominating her breed.
