Holstein Canada logo Kicking off the host of dairy shows held at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF), the seventh annual National Red and White Holstein show was held on November 7 in the Scotiabank Ring of Excellence. The animals shown in the 2013 show were top quality all the way through as official judge Bloyce Thompson of Frenchfort, PEI was tasked with placing the 80 animals presented before him.

Proving that it was her day in the spotlight, Elmbridge Lookout Lady in Red was named Grand Champion at the National Red and White Show for her owners Lookout Holsteins, Canton de Hatley, Qc; Peter Tuytel Jr., Chilliwack, BC; and Frank A. and Diane Borba, Modesto, CA. Taking top honors is certainly in her blood as Lady in Red is a daughter of 2009 National Red and White Show Grand Champion and this year's Honorable Mention Grand Champion, Elmbridge FM Loveable Red.
