2019 Hoard's Dairyman Cow Judging Contest - Holstein Class

The Hoard’s Dairyman Cow Judging Contest has roots that run deep for both the magazine and many participants

I place this class of Guernsey cows B-D-A-C. In a very close placing, B places over D for the advantage in the udder

I place this class of Brown Swiss cows D-B-C-A. For me, D is the most balanced cow in the class and shows the best overall dairy quality among any individual in the class

Cow C excels over the rest of the class with more bloom and width of udder, capacity of rib, and a correct, steep foot angle in this class that I placed C-D-A-B

In placing this class of Holstein cows D-C-A-B, Cow D wins on her balance of frame, width of chest, dairy strength, and symmetry to the udder

I place this class of Jerseys A-C-B-D. A makes her way to the top using her advantage in udder attachments and bloom of udder
