Re: Classification results
Classified today.
EX92 2E Journalist, our best individual to date.
One EX91 2E Leader and one EX91 3E (Pamela).
One new excellent.
3 VG 2yrs. 86 (equalling our best) and 85 by Milkstar, 85 by Talent that makes 10 generations VG or EX from the Sleepy Hollow Echo family.
1 heifer down at 76 points (Maco Scotty), all the rest 81 points or better. The Scotty's mother and sister both started out plain and turned out OK but I don't rate this one to follow that.
Other highlights were new VG's at 7 and 13 generations VG or EX.

BB, I am surprised that your Winchester did not gain a point. What were the classifier's comments about the cow?

Re: Classification results
I'm so excited! I had my first cow go VG today. My parents own a commercial farm but last year I started buying pedigreed animals and a red Regiment 2 year old I bought went VG 85. She is out of five generations of excellent. I was really worried because for a while all the classsifier mentioned were her legs, which are quite hocked in. Although he gave her legs only a 78  her body and udder were still strong enough to go 85!

Re: Classification results
We classified recently as well.
Two new homebred excellents (one is in the avatar and another went multiple.
A clatter more VGs.
Highlights:
A real family favourite went 86 7 days fresh on her second.
2 3rd calvers went VG who I felt had been underscored in the past- they each jumped up 6 or 7 points.
Clipping/cleanliness seemed to make no difference.
I'm very happy with the result though I had 3 hefiers unfit due to a digital dermatitus flare up.

How did the white heifer that was discussed in the other thread get on. She was by a cogent bull i think?

One of the unfit heifers I'm afraid. It's funny those heifers were in with the cows for 4 months before they calved and never had any sign of digital dermitus as soon as they hit peak milk and hear of a classifier coming.....
Her first test at 27 days was 32.8kg at 4.76 fat and 3.16 protein. Doing a bit more now she's on grass 24 hr. The two Cogent Obuts that did make the classifier both got VG.
My 4 Obuts are very productive heifers, but not ones for a 365 day calving interval.
