The last ever Champion Holstein cow at the Royal Show was awarded to Hendomen Arlene 20 jointly owned by Mark Knutsford (Cheshire) and Mike Roberts (Shropshire). The history making animal is sired by Comestar Outside and took Best Udder Award as well as the Holstein Championship. The Royal Show closes its door this week after 170 years owing to financial difficulties.
The third lactation animal was bred by F G Windsor & Sons and proved a popular ringside choice for Holstein judge Mick Gould. Arlene freshened in October 2008 and is currently yielding 55kgs per day and produced over 13,000kgs milk during her second lactation. The 2009 Royal Show Holstein Champion has also produced 9 embryos to Goldwyn.
