Success Giessen Holsteins
Many eyes where turned on Giessen Charity 59. This Atwood daughter represented Giessen Holsteins and the Netherlands at the All-European Championship in Colmar and did not disappoint. Charity 59 was named Intermediate Champion and went on to be the Grand Champion of this high quality dairyshow. In the battle for “Grand” the most resistance came from herd mate Spirit Precilla, the Senior Champion. The 11 year old Precilla looked very impressive with her incredible mammary system which already produced over 70.000 kg of milk.
But as this is not enough, Giessen Holsteins also won the Reserve Junior Champion title with Giessen Cinderella 97, sired by Gold Chip. Finally, a very successful day for Giessen Holsteins was completed with winning the herd-group competition.
