    Red & White Champion repeats Grand Champion honors

    There was no denying Strans-Jen-D Tequila-Red-ET. She paraded beautifully around the ring as if she already knew the show's outcome. And it was old habit for her, as Tequila took the same honor at last year's show. This Director daughter is owned by MilkSource Genetics, Wis.

    Judge Pat Conroy of Indiana and his associate judge, Joel Lepage of Quebec, placed the International Red & White Show on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning at World Dairy Expo. Conroy commended the exhibitors this morning for an "awesome cow show!" And remarked at the amazing progress the Red & White breed has made over the years.
