Wildweed Warrior Maui Tops Deep Red & White Field in Hamburg

Wildweed Warrior Maui-RED (Warrior), 1st 5-Year-Old, is named Grand & Senior Champion of the Northeast Spring National Red & White Show 2026 for Elmvue Farm, Johnstown, NY.

Judge: Chip Savage

When the dust settled in Hamburg, it was the mature cows that owned the ring. Wildweed Warrior Maui-RED (Warrior), the massive, power-packed 5-year-old from Elmvue Farm, Johnstown, NY, was tapped Grand & Senior Champion after what Judge Chip Savage called an almost impossible split between the top two in the class. Maui brought the full package – width, depth of heart and barrel, tremendous udder bloom and the kind of strength on the move that “hits you like a truck coming at you” – to edge another standout five-year-old, Lucky Atomic Castaway-RED (Atomic), exhibited by Tyler Carter, Pat DeGroot & Pat Conroy, Greenville, IL, who settled for Reserve Grand & Senior Champion.

Honorable Mention Grand went to a cow that’s already proved everything she needs to: Wil-O-Mar Diamndbk Rose-RED (Diamondback), the Lifetime Production winner for Elmvue Farm. Around 10 years old with seven lactations, Rose impressed Savage with her longevity, fuller and stronger front end, extreme width and a balanced udder floor that still holds up against cows half her age.

Junior, Intermediate and Champions-in-the-Making

On the junior side, Mer-James Unstop Ava-RED (Unstopabull), the 3rd-place 5-year-old shown by Kyra & Griffin Lamb, Tully, NY, stormed through the lineup to be named Grand Champion of the Junior Show on the strength of her maturity, multiple calves and high-quality mammary system. Reserve Junior Grand went to Middlebush Jordy Jenny-RED (Jordy), the balanced, high-uddered Winter Senior 2-year-old for Cait O’Sullivan, Hillsborough, NJ, with Ovaltop Warrior Span-RED-ET (Warrior), Deanna Wolfe, Richfield, NY, taking Honorable Mention for her style and dairyness as a Senior 3-year-old.

Mer-James Unstop Ava-RED (Unstopabull), 3rd 5-Year-Old, powers to Grand Champion of the Junior Show for Kyra & Griffin Lamb, Tully, NY, on maturity and an outstanding udder.

In the intermediate division, Sweet-Peas Archer Daisy-RED (Archer), the ultra-dairy Senior 3-year-old from Oakfield Corners Dairy, Oakfield, NY, was a “runaway winner” for Intermediate Champion thanks to her tremendous udder, width, openness and balanced frame. Merrillea St Charish-RED (Showtime), the correct, high-uddered Winter Senior 2-year-old for Russ-Jan Holsteins, Somerset, PA, claimed Reserve, while Landland Sasha’s Showtime-RED (Dalton), the stylish Junior 3-year-old for Averi & Kirt Menzi Jr, Horseheads, NY, earned Honorable Mention.

Sweet-Peas Archer Daisy-RED (Archer), 1st Senior 3-Year-Old from Oakfield Corners Dairy, Oakfield, NY, is a runaway choice for Intermediate Champion with her ultra-dairy frame and tremendous udder.

The Intermediate Champion of the Junior Show followed a similar script: Middlebush Jordy Jenny-RED stood at the top for her extra balance, heart and chest, sweeping rib and high, tight udder on strong legs. Reserve went to Ovaltop Warrior Span-RED-ET on her two-calf maturity, defined udder cleft and angular dairyness, with B&L Ocean Analyst-RED (Analyst), Kaylee Byma, Ilion, NY, rounding out the trio as Honorable Mention.

Heifers Set the Stage

At the front end of the day, the heifers gave the crowd plenty to talk about. Durkacres Schnaps-RED-ET (Unstopabull), exhibited by Rierdan Ryan, Friendsville, PA, topped a deep Fall Calf class with her ring presence, balance, depth of rib and strength over the loin, using a more correct track and neater tail head to place over the stylish M-Divine When I Win-RED (Architect) for Merillea Holsteins and the big-growth Reykug Resilient-RED (Acetylene) from Reyncrest Farm & Fly Higher Holsteins. Kampy Hulu Abolish-RED (Hulu), Clarkvalley Holsteins, Beaverton, ON, dominated the Winter Yearling class as a “handy winner” on mass, balance, hard top and ring presence, beating Valley-Folts Janalee-RED (Jordy) and Mcgarr-Farms E Raia-RED-ET (Alpha) on width, length and a more correct stride.

Fall Yearlings were “quality, quality, quality” from top to bottom, with Kress Hill Sky-RED-ET (Altitude), Fastlane Genetics, Tipton, CA, getting the easy nod for her blend of strength, style, open rib and wide rump on perfect feet and legs. She led a sharp group that included Mcgarr-Farms E Racy-RED-ET (Awesome) for Eoghan Mcgarr and Oakfield Ace Regalia-RED-ET (Acetylene) for Chloe & Claire Lamb in the top three.

Among the yearling milking prospects, Hilrose Moovn Around-RED-ET (Moovin), shown by Michael Iager, Frederick, OH, headed the Summer Yearling class with more depth and openness of fore rib, strength over the loin and overall “more heifer” look than Blondin Alpha Whippet-RED (Alpha) and S-Creek Acres Acetylene Daisy-RED. The Spring Yearling class was another runaway, with Winright Altitude Turpentine-RED for Bridgerland Holsteins & Emily Shear taking the red banner on sheer mass, openness of rib, balance and ring presence over the dairy, angular Eshlane Dice Verna-RED-ET for Kaylee Byma.

In the Junior Champion of the Junior Show, Savage rewarded those heifer profiles. Eshlane Dice Verna-RED-ET, the ultra-dairy, long-framed Spring Yearling for Byma, stretched just a bit more through her frame and held herself together a touch nicer in line to earn Junior Champion of the Junior Show ahead of Oakfield Rompen Apollo-RED (Rompen), the correct, wide Summer Yearling for Chloe & Claire Lamb, and Tiger-Lily HND Fanta-RED-ET (Hindsight), the stylish Fall Calf for Addison Dickey.

Young Cows With Big Futures

Down the milking line, the two-year-olds brought plenty of depth for a March show. In the Winter 2-Year-Olds, Merrillea St Charish-RED stood out as “the most correct cow in the class” with big open rib, clean head and neck, breed character, a long hooks-to-pins and a beautiful leg set, placing over Middlebush Jordy Jenny-RED on height at withers, stretch and overall balance.

The Fall 2-Year-Olds were led by (B&O) Milk & Honey T Bombshell-RED (Tango), Cedar Lane Farm CLF, Oldwick, NJ, on openness and angularity, depth of rib and chest width. Savage did name Shoresbrook W Pamela-RED-ET (Warrior), Randall & Meredith Shores, Horseheads, NY, Best Udder of the class for her higher, wider rear udder and stronger cleft, but Bombshell’s total-frame advantage kept her on top. Pamela in turn used her snug, higher and wider attachments to place over B&L Ocean Analyst-RED and Ovaltop Aristcr Talia-RED.

In the Junior 3-Year-Olds, Landland Sasha’s Showtime-RED (Dalton), Averi & Kirt Menzi Jr, took a small but high-quality class on the strength of an “exceptional mammary system” – higher, wider rear udder, snug fore udder, lots of bloom and more width of chest and frame – over Ovaltop Warrior Lesley-RED (Warrior) for Douglas Wolfe. The Senior 3-Year-Olds saw Sweet-Peas Archer Daisy-RED shine as an “ultra-dairy runaway winner,” with magnificent udder bloom, clean lines and a balanced frame placing her over (B&O) Ovaltop Warrior Span-RED-ET and S-CreekAcres Pmkn Spice-RED on frame length, locomotion and superior udder quality. Ovaltop Unst Tago-RED slotted into fourth on a strong udder of her own.

Mature Cows and Longevity

Behind the five-year-old headliners, the Four-Year-Old class was “stacked with power.” Ms Danielles Dayanna-RED-ET (Unstopabull), exhibited by A & J Lamb and Oakfield Corners Dairy, floated to the top as the most dairy, angular cow with added openness of rib, sweep and clean head and neck over the powerful Siemers Tequila 033-RED-ET (Altitude). Her snug fore udder, higher, wider rear attachment and stronger overall frame also carried her over (B&O) Ovaltop Warrior Revive-RED-ET and Tiger Lily Romp River-RED, with Gold-Bros Warri Maddie-RED rounding out the top five.

The Five-Year-Old class, where Maui and Castaway first locked horns, was as stout as it gets. Maui’s extreme mass, width and depth of heart and barrel set the tone, while both she and Castaway brought “tremendous mammary systems” to the party. Castaway earned her Reserve on udder floor and fore-udder length over Mer-James Unstop Ava-RED, who in turn used additional chest width, frame balance and better tracking to place ahead of the tall Ms Darkhose M Fergy-RED-ET and the snug-uddered Kuperus Altitud Ruby-RED-ET.

In the Aged Cow class, Miss Pretty Playful-RED-ET (Avalanche), Maple Downs Farms II & Peter Vail, overpowered Laspada Awesome Allie-RED (Awesome), Brandon Nickerson, on frame, mass and substance and then sealed the deal with a higher, wider and more blooming rear udder with better balanced quarters.

The Lifetime Production pair drew as many appreciative nods as any group all day. Wil-O-Mar Diamndbk Rose-RED and Luck-E Diamond Tonto-RED, both around 10 years old with seven lactations, showed the kind of frames, udders and feet and legs that prove longevity is still very much alive in the Red & White breed. Savage gave Rose the nod for more spring and openness of rib, extra length of frame, extreme width throughout and a slightly higher rear udder while carrying that width right to the top.

From calf classes to lifetime cows, Chip Savage had quality in front of him all day – and he rewarded those that combined dairyness, mammary quality, structural correctness and ring presence with banners to match. Congrats to all exhibitors and junior showmen who loaded the trailers and put the Red & Whites on full display in Hamburg.
