Yorkshire Show:day 2

Kathryn Alderson has only shown her winning Haresfoot Pamela 5 on two occasions - last year when she was reserve breed champion at the Great Yorkshire and yesterday when she was breed and overall supreme dairy champion.

She said: "I'll have to retire her now, I'll never better this."

The Alderson family of Scorton Road Farm, Atley Hill, Scorton near, Richmond, lost their original herd in the foot and mouth outbreak but now have a 120 strong Holstein dairy herd.

Miss Alderson has ten Ayrshires of her own and bought Pamela 5 two years ago in a sale at Beeston. Now a third calver she is giving 39kgs a day and also won the production/inspection class and was runner-up in the best tasting milk in the show's cheese and dairy show.

The supreme runner up was Avenham Jolt Companion 2, a sixth calver Holstein, owned by B & L Whitfield of New House Farm, Wakerley, Shropshire.

Nearly nine years old she is currently giving 42.6kgs a day and was senior champion at the National Holstein Show. She is originally from the Avenham herd of Blackpool.

The Jersey champion was Ravenfield Jess owned by John and Sue Heath of Hornsea. A fourth calver she is giving 30 litres a day and was breed champion last year and champion at this year's Royal Highland. It is the third year running that the Heath's have won the breed title at Harrogate.
