HFNZ Webinar – Q&A Session: Pointing Excellent Cows

Join us on Thursday, 4 September 2025 at 7:00 PM for our HFNZ Webinar, Q&A Session: Pointing Excellent Cows, featuring our Senior Classifiers and Reinspection of Excellent Cow Panel.

With the implementation of the Pointing Excellent Cows system in the 2025/26 Classification season, this is your opportunity to ask questions directly to the experts and gain clarity before classification begins.

In this live session, you’ll learn how the new scoring scale (90–97) replaces the previous Ex–E9 awards, what qualifies a cow for Excellent points, and how re-inspections will work for scores above 92.

Gain a clear understanding of what these changes mean for breeders, how the updated system aligns New Zealand with international standards, and how it enhances consistency across the classification process.

Whether you’re preparing for classification or simply want to understand the changes, this is your chance to get clarity from the panel:

• Wendy Harker
• Graham Stewart
