The new format sees a large entry of over 80 dairy cattle with Judging commencing at 11am with the sale to follow at 12noon. By moving to a daytime event we are pleased to be able to host a programme of dairy related afternoon seminars commencing at 2pm in the market canteen, The Cowshed. Seminars include dairy cattle and asset finance, calf pneumonia, Nu-era beef and the link with sexcel, making the most of you accountant, optimal milking for health and performance, feeding this year’s forage and judging the international trade fair dairy show in Kenya. In addition, we are grateful to our sponsors and trade stands for their sponsorship and involvement in the event and hospitality on their stands. Kivells have great pleasure in welcoming Tom Dauncey as the Judge for the 26th Annual Holsworthy Dairy Event on Wednesday 13th November 2019. Tom, along with his wife Caroline and son Alfie, own the Pedigree ‘Leswidden’ herd of Holstein Friesians at Leswidden Farm, St Just, Penzance. In 1998 the Dauncey Family moved from North Cornwall to St Just with their ‘Crossgate’ herd of Pedigree Holsteins changing to the ‘Leswidden’ Prefix. Their farm in West Cornwall is located 6 miles from Land’s End. The cows are grazed during the summer and fed TMR with maize and grass silage. The family’s dairy enterprise is approximately 100 pedigree milking cows plus followers. The herd is averaging over 10,000Kgs of milk per cow with the classification rates in 2017 being 90% VG or better. In 2011,Tom was awarded Master Breeder status from Holstein UK and this would come as no surprise to anyone who has visited the herd. Our judge is a highly respected Pedigree Breeder whose breeding aims are strong female families which produce sound, functional type, high yielding cows. Tom has won many awards in the Cornish Holstein Club competitions and sold cattle in both Hallworthy and Holsworthy Markets over the years. We thank Tom for agreeing to judge this event and look forward to welcoming him on the day.
