'Subliminal' Named Holstein Association's Star of the Breed

Wisconsin Ag Connection - A Registered Holstein cow from Wisconsin is getting some nationwide attention. 'Blondin Goldwyn Subliminal-ETS' has been named Holstein Association USA's 2021 'Star of the Breed.' The award recognizes the total package of the animal, which must excel in both the showring and milking barn to be eligible for such a distinction.

Subliminal is owned by Budjon Farms and Peter and Lyn Vail and was bred by Ferme Blondin in St. Placide, Quebec. Subliminal calls Budjon Farms in Lomira home.

Sired by Braedale Goldwyn, she scored Excellent-97 4E in her latest classification evaluation. Subliminal qualified for the award with her success during the 2021 show season, when she was named first place 150,000 Pound Cow and Grand Champion at the Midwest Spring National Show and second place 150,000 Pound Cow at World Dairy Expo.

During her award qualifying lactation, she produced 44,740 pounds of milk, 1,921 (4.3%) fat, and 1,366 (3.1%) protein.

To be eligible for the Star of the Breed award, a cow must place in the top five in her class at a National Holstein Show in the award year, be in a herd enrolled in the TriStar program and have an official classification score.
