Chris Hill traveled from Thurmont, MD to place 84 head of Red & White Holsteins at the 2011 Minnesota State Fair August 30. As the day went on, Judge Hill continually commented on the exceptional quality of the cattle, noting he had expected a good show, but was happy to have his expectations surpassed.
For Senior and Grand Champion, Judge Hill went to his winning 4 Year Old Cow, Jen-D Devil Tiffany-Red, exhibited by Reid Stransky and Jeni Dingbaum. Reserve honors were placed on the second place 4 Year Old, Willows-Edge Ad Mick-Red exhibited by Willows Edge Holsteins.
In the younger cow classes, the winning Senior 3 Year Old sorted herself out on the merits of her udder. TJ-Pollema Rdlnr Shania-Red was the exhibit of Quentin Scott & Brooke Pollema of Scha-TJ Holsteins. Reserve honors were bestowed upon the top Senior 2 Year Old, Jerland Tal Giovanna-Red-ET. She was exhibited by Reid Stransky, Larry Jerome & Dyshorn Holsteins.
In the heifer show, the Junior & Reserve Junior Champions came from the Fall Calf Class. Tom-Kins Mr Burns Hony Sizzle-Red exhibited by Brodie Bunkelman was named Junior Champion after winning her class. The second Fall Calf, Melarry Advent Dutch-Red-ET was named Reserve. Dutch was exhibited by Scott Culbertson & Melarry Farms.
