It was only two years ago that Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody, now EX96, was crowned ‘Champion of Champions’ at the UK Dairy Expo and in 2016 she and her EX92 Dusk daughter were in the line up again.
Milliedale Dusk Rhapsody, took the limelight over her mother, she was 2nd in the 5 year old class and continued to impress with Reserve Senior Holstein Champion and Reserve Grand Champion. She is the 14th generation of Excellent cows within this line of the Rhapsody family and has daughters by Kanu P and Commander.
Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody herself came a respectable 3rd place in the Mature Cow class. Peak Goldwyn Rhapsody recently calved in January. Other progeny from this great cow are by Doorman and Absolute.
Further success was had in the ring with Sterndale CL Ghost VG89 EX90-MS, who was 1st Senior 3 year old. She is a daughter of the prizewinning Sterndale Shottle Ghost VG89, who was Reserve Senior Champion and Reserve Breed Champion at the first UK Dairy Expo in 2012.
The Apple family continued to impress the judges with Sterndale Alchemy Noel Red VG87 2YR taking 2nd place in the Red & White 3 year old class and Reserve R&W Champion. She is maternal sister to the prizewinning Sterndale Atwood Noel VG89.
