SUMMARY:HFNZ Webinar - Q&A Session: Pointing Excellent Cows
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWith 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. \nIn 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. \nGain 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. \nWhether you’re preparing for classification or simply want to understand the changes\, this is your chance to get clarity from the panel: \n\nWendy Harker\nGraham Stewart\nTony O’Connor\n\nSenior Classifiers & Reinspection of Excellent Cow Panel \nRegister now to secure your spot! \nSubmit your questions by Tuesday 2 September to ensure they’re addressed during the session. Please email your questions to amelia.griffin@nzhfa.org.nz. \nStay updated by checking out our Facebook event page. \nWe look forward to your participation as the panel explains the changes\, share insights\, and answer your questions live!
