Annie 149 sets the Senior Championship to her name!
Senior Champion: Annie 149
Several GenHotel members participated in the first Dutch show of 2024 last week; the Wintershow Etten-Leur. This day was extra memorable for the Oostvogels family, who won the championship of the senior cows with the fourth calver Annie 149 (by Big Malki).
The Big Malki daughter Annie 149 already dominated in her class, with the jury describing her as a widely and strong built dairy cow with a fantastic udder and super feet & legs. In the same class, filled with dairy cows with a production of >50,000 kgsM, De Rith Cinderella 58 (s. Malki) also competed. She is in her 5th lactation and owned by De Rith Holsteins. In the championship, Annie 149 competed against the classwinner from the previous class, Vero Jetje 558 (by Adorable), but managed to beat the - also fourth calver - Adorable daughter and went home with the golden medal.

She competed against the final class winner De Belshoeve Rita 8 (by Humblenkind) and the cow in 3rd place, Undenied daughter De Rith N. Emblem 17, both from the De Rith herd.
