All Australian to go ahead!

Despite the recent COVID-19 restrictions cancelling Royal and local shows in the back half of the competition year the Semex-Holstein Australia All-Australian Photographic Competition will still go ahead.

Holstein Australia COO, David Jupp, says the “All-Australian” is one of the most prestigious awards for members  and showcases the best Holsteins shown around the country year-on-year, forming a record of the best of breed for current and future generations.

"It’s a major achievement to qualify and the place-getters are up there with the best in the world. If you have shown Holsteins during the current competition year I would encourage you to enter,” says David.

“With a halt put on all shows since March due to COVID-19 restrictions, we’re really keen to attract as many entries as possible to showcase the best of the Holstein breed as we do each competition.”

Well known to many members, the Semex-Holstein Australia All-Australian Photographic competition recognises excellence in conformation and showing and is open to all Holstein Australia Herdbook and Appendix 1,2 and 3 females that have been successfully shown since July 2019.
