Cow of the Year entries extended to 15 July
Holstein Australia members now have until 15 July 2025 to enter their top-performing cows into one of the association’s most prestigious honours – Cow of the Year.
Celebrating excellence in breeding, performance, and impact on the Holstein breed, the Cow of the Year award recognises individual animals that have made a significant contribution to their herd, the breed, and the Australian dairy industry.
The award isn’t just about show results – it's about cows that stand out for their production, progeny, longevity, and the legacy they leave.
“This is an opportunity for our members to showcase the cows that have helped shape their herds and made a mark on the breed,” says Adam Sawell, Holstein Australia Business & Marketing Partner. “Whether it’s a cow that’s bred consistently exceptional daughters or one with outstanding lifetime production, we want to hear her story.”
With the entry deadline now extended to 15 July, Holstein Australia is encouraging all members – large and small, commercial and show-focused – to get involved.
