This prestigious award recognises herds that excel in classification, production, and longevity. Those females bred by the herd who have produced a recorded lactation within the past two years receive points which are averaged to determine the winning herds.

Holstein UK's Head of Breed Development, Meurig James, congratulated the 10 herds who received the Master Breeder Award on behalf of Holstein UK. Obtaining this prestigious award is the pinnacle of achievement for all members who breed cattle that are recognised for their production, conformation, health, and longevity. As we celebrate winners' achievements across the country over the coming months, I look forward to seeing them collect their awards.”

Congratulations all!
