Mr Charlie MacGillivray, was awarded
the National Master Dairyman Award
at an awards ceremony held in
Bloemfontein. This prestigious award
is based on the 2010 lactations for the
herd, and is open to the winners of the
regional Master Dairyman Awards.
Mr MacGillivray took the honours at
the Natal Master Dairyman Awards
held in July 2011. This award is open
to all officially Milk Recorded Dairy
Herds, in the respective provinces.
Charlie has been farming for 38 years and is currently milking approximately 350 registered
Holsteins (MacNeil Holsteins). His herd produces an average of about 3 million litres of milk
per year, and is fed mostly on pasture grazing with a small amount of concentrates fed in the
milking parlour. Charlie breeds animals with high productivity, strong feet and legs and good,
long lasting udders. He places emphasis on cow families and has produced some great bulls.
From all of us at SA Holstein, congratulations!
