Judge's comments:
I just want to know if the crowd thinks this is a great lineup of senior champions? It has been a whale of a show and both Paul and I have been very honored to be here. These are legendary cows out here. There have been lots of hard decisions. We have a lot of friends out here and just remember that I'm judging cows and not friendships. We both grew up back in the barns and learned a lot over the years. We have grown to have a great appreciation for tremendous cows - cows that will continue and have a great future.
We pulled out the 4-year-old. She's got a long frame and she's so dairy. We pulled out the 5-year-olds. Boy what a beautiful pair of cows with tremendous udders. This black cow really grabs you when she walks in the ring. We pulled out the aged cows - another another great group. One of the better udders you'll ever see is on this first place cow and she's been milking so long. The second place cow is long, dairy and has an unbelievable frame! Our 125,000-lb. cows have such youthful udders and such bloom for as long as they've been milking.
I'm not going to pull any more out - this lineup looks so great as is. And no decision is easy, but today, when this black cow walked into the barn, she just gave me shivers. Her side profile is awesome and when she came in it was game over. What a beautiful cow who will go over our 1st place aged cow and 2nd place aged cow for reserve and honorable mention senior champion. Three extraordinary cows and when you see this black cow from the side, she is cut to a "t". What a beautiful frame. She's dairy and open, walks extremely nice, has a beautiful udder and I give her the advantage in frame from a side profile. She's just a little more cow. A little more upstanding. A little nicer through the head and neck. I don't want to pick on our reserve cow - what a tremendous udder she has! Just three beautiful cows - congratulations!
