RABDF / NMR Gold Cup _ Since its inception in 1920, the Gold Cup has been the most coveted award in the dairy industry and has been won by some of the UK’s most influential dairy farmers. Combining elements of production, inspection and genetic management, the trophy is regarded as an award for all round excellence. Applying for the Gold Cup All milk recording organisations are invited to submit herds that meet the competition’s qualifying criteria for the standard recording year ending on 30 September. These are: • More than 100 cows/heifers with qualifying lactations in the milking herd • Non-organic herds: annual SCC average of 200,000/ml or less for the recording year • Organic herds: annual SCC average of 250,000/ml or less for the recording year • Minimum £PLI value specific to the breed • Minimum £SCI value specific to the breed • Grazing group entries: each grazing group co-ordinator submits applications for the most efficient operators How to Win The common themes amongst the winners are doing the basics right and excellent attention to detail - these are within the grasp of every dairy farmer who records their cows with a recording organisation. 56 NMR Customer Services: 03330 043043 / customerservices@nmrp.com
