HOLSTEIN UK COMMITS TO THE FUTURE OF UK DAIRY DAY


Michael Yates


Holstein UK has secured the future of the UK’s premier dairy event until 2020 by renewing its contract with The International Centre in Telford for the annual September dairy focused event. The event, now in its third year, has been boosted further by an increase in trade stand bookings and interest from the industry. In response to the challenges currently facing the industry UK Dairy Day has made important changes for the 2016 event to support farmers by offering free visitor entry, car parking and free entry for show cattle.


Tom Hill


The event will continue to be held at the International Centre in Telford, Shropshire, which provides a central location with the venue offering


a great environment and atmosphere. Working closely with Southwater Event Group, owners of the venue and three hotels, the UK Dairy Day team is continually reviewing layout to ensure space is maximised to include all relevant businesses related to the industry.


DAIRYPRO Holstein UK has


extended the events that are registered with DairyPro allowing members to gain points on their DairyPro profile, registered events include all National HYB events and UK Dairy Day.


UK TEAM


SELECTED FOR EUROPEAN YOUTH


CHAMPIONSHIPS HYB members, James Doherty and Jonathan Woodhouse, have been selected to represent the UK in the European Youth Championships in Colmar this June. They will be participating in the clipping and showmanship competition with heifers supplied by French farmers. The show and sale committee had a challenging time selecting the UK representatives due to the high quality and volume of applicants. We wish the Holstein UK team lots of luck while competing against the 32 other countries in the youth competition.
