Holstein UK announced that Iwan Morgan has been appointed.
The ninth UK Dairy Day takes place at the International Centre in Telford on Wednesday, September 13. The event brings together more than 300 businesses, over 8,000 visitors, leading suppliers, dairy farmers and industry representatives.
Iwan and his father Edward run the Erie herd of 150 Holsteins and 30 Jerseys. The grazing herd, based near Carmarthen, is well known nationally with prominent cow families such as the Lustre’s, Supreme Maude’s, Roxy Red’s and Gold Barbara’s.
The Morgan family have had great success over the years, twice receiving the Holstein UK Master Breeder award and achieving more than 20 wins in the Holstein UK All Britain Awards.
Iwan is experienced in the show ring, having judged all dairy breeds at many shows. His highlights include Balmoral Show, The Bailey’s Virginia Show, The Irish National Calf Show, The Great Yorkshire Show, The Royal Cornwall Show and The All Breeds All Britain Calf Show.
Iwan Morgan, 2023 National Holstein Show judge, said: “It is a great honour to be asked to judge the National Holstein Show. I have competed there for many years. I look forward to having my opportunity to stand in the ring as the judge.
“There is always a superb display of cows from all over the UK at UK Dairy Day, it is the show to be at. I look forward to tapping out my class winners and champion.”
Lynden Bustard, UK Dairy Day Cattle Show Manager, said: “We are delighted to welcome Iwan to judge The National Holstein Show. He brings a wealth of breeding and showing experience to the ring. We look forward to seeing his winners.”
