National Cream of
the Crop Award

The National Cream of the Crop Award will recognize the top 75 cows that have produced 30,000 pounds of milk or more and are ranked on combined pounds of fat and protein in the previous calendar year.

1. The current owner must be a National Junior Holstein Member.
2. The cow must have a minimum of 87% RHA.
3. The cow must be enrolled in Tri-Star.
4. The cow must have a 305 day or less record of over 30,000 pounds of milk completed during the calendar year.
5. The milk record must be completed while the animal is under youth ownership (needs to remain in ownership from calving date until record completion date).
6. The above items determine the eligible pool.
7. The list will then be ranked on combined pounds of fat and protein to determine the top 75 cows. Ties will be broken by total milk production.
8. Winners will receive a certificate.
9. The top ten winners will be invited to the National Junior Holstein Convention to be recognized.
10. During her lifetime, a cow will qualify for this recognition only once.
