This confidence was warranted as Boldview Modem Pastel was sashed as the senior champion in the Sydney Royal Easter Show dairy ring.
“We certainly had high hopes, but there was still one other cow that worried us,” Janine said.
The Land reported Boldview Modem Pastel impressed Canadian judge Michael McQuat with her youthfulness, and she was commended for her snug udder and teat placement.
Producing 35 litres of milk per day, Boldview Modem Pastel is on track to produce 8500 litres in her current lactation and was also sashed best senior udder, proving the mature cow’s productivity.
Boldview Modem Pastel was sired by Lagace Modem and from Boldview Paella Harmony, at Boldview Farm in South Australia.
Boldview Modem Pastel was exhibited by Mick Eagles and led by Janine.
Winning senior champion was an important milestone for the Ghinni Creek Ayrshire stud, with this being their first senior champion win since starting up outside Mick’s family partnership.
Michael and Janine’s children Tyler and Jessica are the fourth generation in the Eagles’ farming legacy.
“The kids also had a great show,” Janine said.
