GenHotel members' cows shine at local show Bathmen/Laren
Oosterbrook Sofia VG-88 (s. Emperor RDC)
Despite the high temperature during the Fokveedag Bathmen/Laren last Saturday, members Holbra Holsteins and Oosterbrook Holsteins made a big impression in the show ring and managed to made it into the finals! Even literally, in the heat of the moment, they where awarded with several titels.
In the B&W ring, where 2nd and 3rd calvers were judged in the Intermediate category, the third lactation Claynook Casper daughter Holbra Joy 2 VG-89 of the Holmer family won the first place. Through Holbra Joy VG-87, Holbra Sandoya VG-86 and Holbra Sandian VG-88 she hails from Holbra Sana VG-89 (by Snowman), dam of the Italian proven sire Holbra Inseme Rodanas. The Heijink family of Oosterbrook Holsteins also had great success in this class. Oosterbrook Sofia VG-88, a very fancy Kenmore Jedi Emperor RDC, took first place and was followed by her herdmade Oosterbrook Esperanto Hanilla. She is a third calver Weelder Esperanto daughter classified EX-90. During the finals, Joy 2 VG-89 of Holbra Holsteins competed for the title and was named Reserve Intermediate Champion Bathmen/Laren 2023 by the jury. With this she equalled the success of last year where she also won the Reserve title!
