Meurig James, Head of Breed Development for Holstein UK, commented ”On behalf of Holstein UK, I would like to extend my congratulations to the ten herds who have been announced as winners of the Master Breeder Award. Achieving this prestigious award is the pinnacle of achievement for all members who are recognised for breeding herds that produce and develop cattle which are known for their production, conformation, health, and longevity. In the coming months, I look forward to seeing the winners collect their awards at a variety of events across the country in order to celebrate their achievements.”
