Judge Kelly's comments:
Again, before we name these champions, let's show our appreciation to the exhibitors. I've pulled out four animals that are just my kind of cow. They're quality dairy cows from end to end and they more freely on their feet and legs. They also show so much balance. Today, I'm going with my 5-year-old for senior champion. She just puts it altogether for me. She's so well balanced, has such a beautiful mammary system and it is that advantage in her mammary that puts her over our beautiful 125,000-lb. cow. She's just a little more snug in her fore attachment. We've got to recognize our two 125,000-lb. cows today as well. For the amount of milk they've put through and to have their mammary systems look so beautiful, we've got to recognize them for their tremendous longevity.

Grand Champion: Quality-Ridge Stormi Hazel
Res. Grand Champion: Windy-Knoll-View Pledge

Judge Kelly's comments:
I'd like to thank the exhibitors for inviting me to judge this show. It's been an honor and something that I've looked forward to all year. The quality has been second to none. Thanks to the All-American show staff for their hospitality. It's been a great experience and something that I'll never forget. I'd like to thank my wife for making the trip with me. We've just been married a month and I know she enjoys this too. We really enjoy working with our herd together.

If you stand back and look at the five animals in the middle of the ring, our champions from today and yesterday, it's just an impressive site. They show everything that I'm looking for and in two weeks, they'll be knocking on the door in Madison.

Today, I'm going with my 5-year-old for Grand Champion. What a lovely dairy cow from end to end and what a mammary system! For reserve, it gets close here, but I'm a guy that has Holsteins and Swiss at home and I really appreciate longevity so because of that, I'm going with my 125,000-lb. cow because she's stood the test of time and put a lot of milk through a quality mammary system.

Congratulations to everyone!
