Rawlings Gemma scored GP 83, 1st lactation
Rawlings Golly Miss Molly scored GP 82, 1st lactation
Rawlings Gezzabelle scored VG 86, 1st lactation, this is the top score for an heifer
and our bull Rawlings ET scored VG 88 up 3 points
The herd average being 86.2 for the 6 females, with the breed average being 80.2
For Dual Purpose we averaged 91.2, with the breed average being 83.2

Fantastic results, you would have to be pretty happy about them. A big jump for R. Éclair, 10 points is quite a difference. Which area did she improve so greatly in? Same classifier or someone different. You didn't get Andrea first time round did you ?

Hi Louise

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Eclair was last classified when she was still owned by Mark and Marg Rawlings. I do not know the name of the classifier but I do know that Marg said she was not consistent in her work. Maybe Marg can shed a little light on the subject.
