A Canadian Holstein was named grand champion of the breed at the 2014 World Dairy Expo held in Madison, Wisconsin, Sept. 30-Oct. 4.
RF Goldwyn Hailey, owned and shown by Gen-Com Holsteins of Notre Dame-Du-Bon-Conseil, Que., was also named reserve supreme champion. The same female was also supreme champion at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and the world show in 2012.
The overall supreme champion was a Jersey named TJ Classic Minister Venus ET, which was entered by Nic Sauder of Tremont, Illinois.
The junior show hosted more than 330 youth from Canada and the United States. Katelyn Crest of Athabasca, Alta., was the champion senior showman in that portion of the show. Five Canadians were among the Top 10 winners in that class, including Crest and four from Ontario.
More than 70,000 people attended the world show, where 2,500 head of dairy cattle representing seven breeds were on display.
