Dairy Heifer Rearing Competition
The Chudleigh Show Dairy Heifer Rearing Competition began in
1996 as a way of supporting the local dairy industry by
providing a means of benchmarking herds within the region.The
competition is an assessment of replacement dairy heifers,
judged as a complete herd on farm. In addition to this,
entrants are encouraged to supply three heifers for judgement in
the "pen of 3" competition at the grounds on show day.
This second competition also allows entrants to provide a
representation of the quality of their stock. Over time
there has been a vast improvement in the quality and uniformity
of heifers within the district and we aim to maintain this
positive trend.
In 2009, organisers have chosen to trial a third aspect to
the competition, asking entrants to nominate one milking heifer
for the "Single Heifer in Milk" competition. Again, this
was an on-farm assessment, with the aim of show casing the
results of heifer development as reflected in the main
competition. Download the
