A return to Feilding for the 2023 NZ Dairy Event was nothing short of spectacular for the Ngāhinapōuri-based Waipiri Holsteins, culminating in a third successive Premier Holstein Exhibiter banner headlined by Waipiri Mogul Kristy EX2 winning Supreme Holstein Champion.

The Waipiri crew say that they couldn’t be prouder of the way their team of eight cows and five young stock turned out, taking four of a possible nine Holstein Championship Ribbons.

‘M’ seemed to be the magic letter, with the two Moguls winning their respective championships and the three Moovin’s winning their individual Junior Holstein and All Breeds classes.

A few special highlights for Waipiri included winning both Senior (Kristy’s third of the season) and Intermediate Holstein Champion, and their lovely senior heifer calf winning a class of over 35 heads.

“Obviously a lot goes on behind the scenes in the six to seven weeks prior to the show, and on-farm, Jesse and Mitch have been nothing short of great,” says Waipiri Holsteins’ Alex Fullerton.

“With international borders open again, it was great to get Canadian fitters Trent Jones and Wesley Haggins over, and their work was nothing short of outstanding

“Big thanks go to Gordon Griffin, Hannah White, Braydon Schroder and Hana Linssen for their help throughout show week.”
