The Event

Britain’s well-established National Holstein Show has been transformed: bringing together the finest dairy cattle in the country. Holstein UK is now expanding the event to include all the major national dairy breeds. The new National All Breeds Show takes place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on 16 & 17 February 2010.

For breeders and exhibitors the show provides a perfect opportunity to showcase the best of every breed and demonstrate the strengths of the UK’s dairy industry. With focuses on breeding, feeding and management for health, welfare and productivity, this promises to become a major event in the agricultural calendar. A broad attendance is anticipated owing to the expansion of the number of breeds participating.

Henry Lewis, Chairman of the British Livestock Genetics Consortium commented “This is a wonderful chance to see all our dairy breeds together and it helps fill the gap left by the demise of the Royal Show, as well as bringing together those companies associated with the dairy sector.”

In addition, the two-day programme will cover a range of stimulating seminar and training activities and will incorporate the All Britain Awards Ceremony.
