The two-year-old Holstein that rose to the top of the intermediate show at the New Zealand Dairy Event (NZDE) this morning as last year’s Holstein and All Breeds Junior Champion.
Charbelle Tatoo Pix, owned by Charbelle Farms, in Hamilton was also Best Udder of the Intermediate Show. Annabelle Scherer, who was on the halter said it was a wonderful moment for their family. She said they had briefly considered not coming because of Covid restrictions, but they are now so relieved they loaded up that truck.
“We did considering not coming with where we are, the country is tough and it’s drying out pretty quickly. And, it’s not an easy prep. But we’re glad we made the effort and made the trip because the result is outstanding.
“We felt if we got her how we wanted her to look that she’d be competitive. It was full credit to Stephen [Annabelle’s husband] because he did the milkings and decided how much we’d put on her. Our crew and family have also been amazing.”
After the photos, the Scherer family headed back to their string. Their four-year-old is the dam of their All Breeds Intermediate.
