we are
hoping to put a team together from all the
Brown Swiss breeders to show off these lovely
animals that we all have. Just remember the
animal’s must be of ¾ blood or better and
Registered with the BROWN SWISS
CATTLE BREEDERS ASSN OF NZ to be able
show at an A & P show run under the rules of
the Royal Agriculture society of New Zealand.
The Brown Swiss had many calls
in the
All Breeds section just missing a
placing
by 1 or 2 points. The Brow Swiss
cattle
and their exhibitors placed 3rd in
the
Breeds team event. The
Exhibitors of the
Brown Swiss came 1st in the
best dressed
handlers. I would like to take this
opportunity
to thank all the exhibitors for their
event and
time spent getting their animals
ready for this
show. We look forward to doing it
again next
year. The show season starts off
in October

Regal Morchel
According to a press release, the present world record holder for lifetime milk production has
been put down on May 5, 2010. Studach's Regal Morchel, a Rapture El Regal daughter born
on February 9, 1987, produced in her lifetime 197'000 kg of milk in 6994 days and 14
lactations.
Her milk components were 3.44%fat and 3.44% crude protein. This equals 434'310 pounds
of milk, 14'930 pounds of fat and 14'921 pounds of protein, making her the world record
holder for lifetime production of the breed.
Morchel spent her lifetime on the farm of the Studach family in Moerschwil, at a 10 minutes
drive from the city of St. Gallen. She last calved on August 20, 2006, with a heifer calf by
Bruget, and her last test on April 26, 2010 was 6.0 kg. Morchel goes back to Rapture El
Regal, from a dam sired by Johann Proud Matthew (W) with a lifetime production of 74398kg
or 164019 pounds, then a cow sired by Darwin, a Beautician (A) son, and after that Original
Braunvieh.
Hats off to the Studach family and a special thank you for proving the longevity, productivity
and sturdiness of our breed!
