Judge: Delbert Yoder, United States

Grand champion Brown Swiss handled by Ben Govett

She won best udder of the show two years ago and was a winning two-year-old at IDW as a young exhibit. The Govett family were understandably rapt with the result and the comments from Delbert regarding how much the Brown Swiss breed had evolved here in this country.
