Holstein Friesian NZ 2020 Awards Schedule
The postponement of the Holstein Friesian NZ Annual Conference means the association has had to change the way it announces the results of its prestigious production awards and national competitions in 2020.
This year the results will be announced during June and July on the Holstein Friesian NZ Facebook page. Many of the results will also be published on our website and printed in the spring/summer of edition of NZ Holstein magazine.
