Newbirks Jazz 1584 from Robert and Elaine Butterfield is one of four second calvers in the UK team.
She is an older cow and it was a close call between her and Nobold Windbrook Joan from Erie Holsteins. Jolie has an exceptional frame with great bone and is slightly better in the loin. With David Jones’ Snowman Alysia getting sold at Beeston she became illegible for selection, otherwise she would have been selected.” Commenting on the selection of the ‘cows with at least three calves’ section, Mr Gribbon says there were some strong contenders and the team has a group of great cows to send to Colmar.
“The first of these is Illens Atwood Australia, champion in Switzerland and at UK Dairy Expo. She was described by Michael Heath as an easy winner at Expo and goes across the water full of expectation, but her class will be immense. “Next in the team is Sahara Sanchez Ambrosia from

She is freshly calved, has fantastic veination and her clean bone just gave her the nod.” Neatishall Decker Rosina completes the black and white entries. “She was champion at the 2014 Livestock Event and has an exceptional udder for an old cow.”

She will be joined by Knowlesmere Destry Dream Red a newly calved

heifer with all the qualities needed for a winner.” The team set off for Colmar on the 12th June and show days are Friday 17th for red and whites and Saturday 18th for black and whites.
