Radiant Rhapsody's on the Show Circuit 2014
17th November 2014
This has been a great year so far for the Rhapsody family at Sterndale & Peak Holsteins. Way back in March Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody now EX96 – our highest classified cow - was crowned Champion of Champions at the UK Dairy Expo. A few months later her daughter, Milliedale Dusk Rhapsody VG88 3YR was 2nd Junior Cow in Milk at Great Yorkshire Show, then 1st & Champion Holstein at Leek County Show and 1st Junior 3YR & Intermediate Honourable Mention at the UK Dairy Day.
Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody EX96 and her full sister Peak Gold Rhapsody now EX94 also attended the UK Dairy Day and did not disappoint in the Mature Cow class with Peak Gold Rhapsody EX94 placed 2nd and Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody EX96 EX95-MS was placed 3rd in what was a class of tremendous cows.
Members of the Rhapsody family featured in our Open Day and Elite Sale back in June with Peak Golden Rhapsody EX92 (full sister to Peak Gold Rhapsody & Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody) sold for 4,800gns and Peak Dusk Sid Rhapsody a granddaughter of Peak Gold Rhapsody EX94 sold for 4,500gns.
The Goldwyn sisters complete 13 Generations of EXCELLENT cows from this fantastic cow family. The foundation cow for this great family was Audrey Posch EX93, she sold for $2,150 in 1947 at the Butterfly Dispersal. This family is the breed’s longest running EXCELLENT cow line. Look out for the Goldwyn sisters at Agri Scot late November 2014!
