This year’s Grand Champion Jersey at International Dairy Week was won by the Wilson and Gavenlock families from either side of the Murray River with Jamber Colton Veronica.
Rob Wilson from Jamberoo in NSW said the cow had been in preparation with Brad Gavenlock at Cherrylock Cattle Co. in Tallygaroopna since the start of December and attributed the win to a combination of having the cow in good form and a good bloodline.
“Her grandmother was Queen Veronica,” Rob said.
“We are pretty privileged to have a cow coming out and looking that well with such a pedigree.
“It’s all about good cows and they have got to be in form, but to have that special pedigree just makes it even better.”
The day after Dairy News Australia talked to Rob, Jamber Colton Veronica was sashed Interbreed Reserve Champion Cow.
