Barclay Phoenix, Cord Hormann and Tjebbe Huybrechts judges show 2018

The organization of the Holland Holstein sHow is pleased to announce judges with a lot of international experience: Holsteins will be judged by Barclay Phoenix from Canada, Red Holsteins by Cord Hormann from Germany. Barclay Phoenix will judge the Young Breeder disciplines together with Tjebbe Huybrechts.

At Saturday the 8th of December, the Holstein and Red Holstein Show will get started. An unique item on the agenda is the judging of herd collections, this is one of the few places where this takes place at national level. Another important item during the show is the presentation of progeny groups. The type competition of all categories will be judged by two judges with international allure! Both are dairy farmers with a lot of success as a breeder and great experience as a judge.

The Young Breeders-show starts with the clipping competition which will be judged by Barclay Phoenix and Tjebbe Huybrechts. Showmanship for juniors will be judged by Tjebbe while Barclay will judge the seniors and the type classes.

Tjebbe Huybrechts from Belgium is currently working at CRV where he is responsible for international breeding information products. Tjebbe grew up at a dairy farm and after ending the farm he kept some calves. With these calves he had regional and national successes. In 2015 he won the heifer championship at the Night of Holsteins with his Gold Chip daughter Moesjamarra. As a judge Tjebbe is very experienced; The Night of Holsteins in Libramont, Denmark, Russia and the Koe-expo and NRM in the Netherlands are familiar with Tjebbe.

Barclay Phoenix will judge the conformation competition of the Young Breeders, the clipping competition and the senior showmanship as well as the Holsteins. Barclay owns the dairy farm ‘Phoenix Holsteins’ together with his dad in Greenbank, Ontario. The farm has 150 animals of which 70 are dairy cows. Last year the farm sold 190 animals.
