The big day is here! More than 160 cows taking part in the All- European Holstein and Red Holstein Championship were welcomed on Tuesday 26 February in excellent conditions. Trucks from a number of European countries arrived to drop off and prepare the finest animals on the continent. The Forum Fribourg exhibition centre is buzzing. The hall and ring are ready to host one of the most eagerly awaited breeding events in the last three years.

The cows are here!

Tuesday 26 February, 08:05 am. The first truck rolled into the region of Fribourg. Those on board were animated by the hope of receiving prestigious recognition for their ceaseless work over the last few months. There was a tangible feeling of nervousness and enthusiasm in the air as they unloaded the equipment and the animals. Shortly afterwards, the other trucks began to arrive.

The delegations from 17 different countries will be taking part in the competition and cannot wait for Friday and Saturday. Great care is being taken over the work and the final preparations for the Holstein and Red Holstein cows, which need to be fed, cared for and cleaned. The cowsheds are in place and ready for the championship.
