GenHotel members Batouwe Holsteins and Roubos Holsteins recently showed their best females in the show ring again during Cowvalley 2025 in Scherpenzeel (The Netherlands).
In the 2nd Junior Heifer class, the 1st position was occupied by BJH Euphoria Red, a very nice Hellender Brandy P Red, owned by Gert Bakker (Batouwer Junior Holsteins) from the Rainyridge Tony Beauty EX-94 family. She was followed by RH Lambda Sid and RH Power Maxima, both from Roubos Holsteins.

At the senior heifers, the roles were reversed and RH Aiko P RDC, a great Vogue Illustrator P owned by Roubos, took the lead in the class, followed by Batouwe Bellaluna Red (by Spotlight Red), after which they were also named Champion and Reserve Champion Senior Heifers. Aiko P RDC is a descendant of the legendary brood cow Kamps-Hollow Durham Altitude RDC EX-95 and was already Champion Heifer at the Krommerijnstreek Show 2025 earlier this year.

Also in the Intermediate class, Batouwe Holsteins had 2 beautiful females to show. Batouwe Agnencia Red, a super uddered Siemers Agent from the American Felder Den Barb Cindy EX-91 family, who calved 3 months ago, immediately took the lead in the first intermediate class, after which she was awarded the title Reserve Intermediate Champion during the championship. Herdmate Batouwe Rednex Maxyme Red, a Drouner Rednex from the family of the German show diva Talent Maxima-Red EX-94, was at the side of Agnencia in both the class and the championship and received Honorable Mention.
