Marshall family’s Overseal herd in Derbyshire for the ninth Holstein Young Breeders Competitions Day


E


nthusiastic Holstein Young Breeders from 14 Clubs across the UK gathered on Saturday 13th


to compete in both stock judging and linear assessment competitions.


The whole Marshall family had put on a fantastic display of cattle for young breeders to judge. Brother and sister team Pete and Janet run the 130-head Overseal herd which has been entirely homebred since 1949. The herd has represented Staffordshire in the regional finals of The Premier Herd competition on several occasions and competed in the national final in 2012, the herd comprises of 42 EX, 48 VG and 27 GP cows and heifers averaging 10,242kg at 4.03%bf and 3.18%p. Following registration and a welcome from Meurig James competitors split in to their age groups and headed to the judging rings which were all inside due to the unfortunate wet weather. Three strong classes of six animals entered the rings
