The Otsego-Herkimer-Montgomery Holstein Club held their annual club show on July 22 at the Fonda Fairgrounds. Over 100 exceptional Holsteins were paraded before Judge Ken McEvoy of Marathon, NY. Both junior and senior members from the three-county area participated as well as several breeders from neighboring counties.

Five showmanship classes started the show for the junior members with Justin Wolfe of Otsego County winning Master Showman, followed closely by Reserve Master Showman Mason Ziemba of Oneida County.

Following the judging of the individual heifer classes, McEvoy chose the Summer Yearling Heifer, Maple-Down Sdkck Aurora-ET, owned by Alexis Payne of Schoharie County, as the Junior Champion of both the junior division and open division of the show. Ava Canary of Montgomery County was awarded first place Fall Heifer Calf. Canary Doorman Ruby was named the Reserve Junior Champion as well as the Best Bred & Owned Heifer of the Junior division. The Reserve Junior Champion of the Open division went to the second place Summer Yearling Heifer Bred & Owned by Ziemba, Oster & Vail, ZBW-Retso-PV Denver Lockdown.

Championship winners in the milking cow classes went to six different breeders. In the Junior Division of the show Montgomery County’s Isaac Conard’s Senior 3-Year-Old cow Ridgedale Raquel was declared the Intermediate Senior Champion. Montgomery County’s Charlise Canary’s Junior 3-Year-Old Cow Canary Crush Aspen was awarded Reserve Intermediate Champion.

The two Intermediate Champions in this division went on to also be declared the Grand and Reserve Grand Champions for the Junior division of the show.
