NATIONAL MASTER DAIRYMAN AWARD
Mr Charlie MacGillivray, was awarded the
National Master Dairyman Award at an awards
ceremony held in Bloemfontein. This prestigious
award is based on the 2010 lactations for the
herd, and is open to the winners of the regional
Master Dairyman Awards.
Mr MacGillivray took the honours at the Natal
Master Dairyman Awards held in July 2011. This
award is open to all officially Milk Recorded
Dairy Herds, in the respective provinces.
Charlie has been
farming for 38 years and is currently milking
approximately 350 registered Holsteins (MacNeil
Holsteins). His herd produces an average of
about 3 million litres of milk per year, and is
fed mostly on pasture grazing with a small
amount of concentrates fed in the milking
parlour. Charlie breeds animals with high
productivity, strong feet and legs and good,
long lasting udders. He places emphasis on cow
families and has produced some great bulls.
From all
of us at SA Holstein, congratulations! |
