Im already in the UK but wouldn't mind having a nosey around Cogent as would a couple of mates. Could we tag along for the tour or would that just cause a few problems?

Re: Eurogenes tour to the National Holstein Show & Cogent


Monday 16th February will see the UK’s National Holstein show, stage one of the best sales to be held in Europe this year.

Celebrating their Centenary year, Holstein UK have assembled a truly spectacular gathering of 30 of the country’s leading animals, which will be offered for sale directly after the judging of the Supreme Championship at the UK’s premier Show of Holstein cattle.

Several Eurogenes members have consigned top entries to the sale including:

Lot 13 A.D.I and Greenmile Genetics offer a super Dundee calf (Feb 08) from the All-Canadian 4yo of 2006- Drakeview Leduc Allure EX-92. Bred from 7 generations of VG or EX dams, this super stylish calf will show.

Lot 15 & 19 Willsbro Holsteins have consigned 2 outstanding calves from their 1000 cow unit. Willsbro Shottle Sarra, (Mar 08) already a proven show-winner as a calf, is bred from one of Europe’s most up and coming families, her dam Copywood Lee Sarra EX-91 is full sister to the UK’s #1 PLI cow (Jan 08). The Sara family is quickly establishing itself throughout Europe and has International appeal.
Willsbro Talent Romance (Apr 08) is bred directly from the reigning Heifer in milk champion of the National Holstein Show, whom belongs to a small elite group of cows that have scored Excellent as 2nd Calvers.

Lot 25 Ecstasy Holsteins are selling a great Jasper calf from 6 generations of Excellent dams tracing back to the “Queen of the breed- Roxy”. This family excels in both type and components, and the 3 closest generations all have in excess of 3.5% protein

Lot 28 New to Eurogenes- The Golden Promise Syndicate consign their first ever calf to auction, and it’s a great calf! Sired by Dundee (Oct 08) and from the outstanding Stanhope Peggy Goldwyn that has just classified VG-86 2yr in Canada, she is bred from the world renowned Windy-Knoll View Promis EX-95 2E. The Peggy Goldwyn looks great and is extremely high protein, on course for over 3.55% protein.

Lot 29 Finally, from one of the country’s most talked about cows, a truly outstanding Goldwyn calf (Nov 08) from Drointon Leduc Brenda EX-94, who will show as a Senior cow in milk at the show and looks in tremendous form. The Drointon herd is renowned for bringing out great show calves- and this is no exception.
