Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 4,1978—117
member of the American
dairy juding team in in
temation competition in 1977
presented a slide program.
She explained many aspects
of the farming and dairy
enterprises in England,
Scotland, Wales, and
Holland as she had seen
them during the com
petition. The dairy cattle are
fed grass rather than com or
soybeans which require
different growing and
handling practices not
available in these countries.
As a rule, the dairy animals,
according to Miss Hill, are
shorter, stockier, show more
flesh, and less dairyness
than show ring dairy
animals in America. In
addition to being weaker in
legs and feet than their
United States counterparts,
the European dairy animals
produce less milk.
Miss Hill remarked that
the animals are not set up for
judging as is the case in the
United States showrmgs.
The showmen all wear long
white coats but simply lead
the animals. It is charac
teristic during the judging to

have animals pulling grass
from the show area ground
rather than standing alertly
as in the American show
circuit.
Many countries will not
allow importing of studs
such as in the Isle of Jersey
to maintain a pure strain.
England, however, has
started looking toward the
Canadian bloodlines to
improve dairiness in the
future. Presently, England
does not “plan to unport
American studs.
The American young
people on the judging tour
were amazed to see as many
as one hundred bulls
tethered on lush pasture at
once. Miss Hill said the bulls
were docile and several of
the group of young people
walked up to them and
patted their heads. In the
evening, the bulls are taken
inside then returned to
the pasture in the morning.
The United States national
dairy judging team placed
third in the international
competition held at Wales
and the American FF A team
placed second, Miss Hill
explained.
