Star Lineup of Global Judges for Borderway UK Dairy Expo
26th January 2024
A Remarkable Panel of World Class Judges from the USA, Australia and the UK Will Take on the Challenge of the 2024 Borderway UK Dairy Expo.
Four of the most respected dairy cattle judges in the world will converge on the UK’s largest industry event to pick the winners in this year’s Borderway UK Dairy Expo in Carlisle on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th March 2024.
UK Dairy Expo organisers, Harrison & Hetherington, have once again drawn on the highest levels of dairy cattle expertise from the four corners of the world to judge over 700 cattle entries in front of 7,000 visitors expected at this prestigious event. This year’s event will be one of the first in the UK to include a new Heifer Class in the Holstein Show for milking heifers under 24 months old, highlighting the trend in the market for earlier calving of young heifers.
Internationally respected Brown Swiss breeder and show winner, Ben Govett, will travel from Australia to judge the Holstein, Brown Swiss, and Dairy Shorthorn classes. Australian Jersey dairy farmer Daniel Bacon will also bring all his southern hemisphere experience and skill north to judge the Jersey, Red & White, and Ayrshire classes. Wisconsin based genetics expert Roger Turner will cross the Atlantic from the USA to judge the International Showmanship classes. And Holstein Master Breeder John Cousar will make the comparatively short journey south from Ayrshire to judge the British Friesian classes.
Harrison & Hetherington Dairy Sales Manager and Dairy Expo organiser Glyn Lucas is delighted to be able to confirm the truly international judging line-up for this year’s event. “Borderway UK Dairy Expo has grown into one of the most successful and hotly contested shows in the UK dairy cattle calendar. We attract a really exceptional calibre of entries from all over the UK, and it is a formidable challenge to pick the winners in every class. We are very grateful indeed that our four top judges have agreed to travel so far and take on this task. They bring an extra dimension of international credibility to a world class show here at Borderway.”
