by GINA HAAMBUCKERS ARMSTRONG – The North
Okanagan Holstein Club held their annual spring show at the Armstrong Fairgrounds on April 1. Handling judging duties for the day was Markus Hehli of Mosnang Holsteins in Rimbey, AB. This year’s show once
again featured both Holstein and Jersey cows as well as a showmanship competition for intermediates and seniors on the Friday evening before the show, and in between the heifer and cow classes for the pee wee and junior divisions. Hehli placed over 70 head of cattle in addition to the showmanship classes. Starting with his Jersey junior champions, he selected Sunny Hill Joel Appletini as champion and Sunny Hill Notepad Arangatang for reserve, both bred and owned by Michael and Gina Haambuckers from Enderby. In the Holstein division, Hehli selected his winning senior calf, Wedgewood CG Dorinda, owned by Michael Podchadly of Armstrong, as
his junior champion and Priory Doorman Taffy, his first place senior yearling, as reserve junior champion. She is owned and exhibited by Blossomdairy and Barclay Holsteins, who made the trip up from the Fraser Valley. Moving into the cow
classes, he selected Starcrest Alexander Raeanne, first place Senior 3, as his intermediate champion. She was bred and owned by the McAvoy family from Armstrong. Reserve intermediate honours went to Sandy and Lillian Stewart of Haddington Holsteins from Mara with Haddington Explode Margarita who also won the North Okanagan Holstein Club Futurity class this year. In his final choices for champions, he selected Elmcrest Tequila Moola as his Jersey grand champion, bred and owned by the Tuytel family from Chilliwack. Reserve honours went to Sunny Hill Mantra Athena, bred and owned by Michael and Gina Haambuckers of Enderby.
