15,000 liters of milk: The impressive Miss Prignitz inspires the animal show!

In the picturesque environment of Blüthen near Karstädt, the 29th Prignitz animal show took place today, in which the extraordinary milk cow "Fux aint no Sun" was crowned as Miss Prignitz. When the weather is often cloudy, the best animals in the region were presented, and five -year -old Fux Aint No Sun convinced the judges around Christian Wachtel with their fine skeleton, the pronounced pool and an excellent udder. Her impressive milk yield of 15,000 liters a year, with 4.1% fat and 3.2% protein, makes her a true high-performance man, such as the Nordkurier informed.

The animal show not only offered competitions, but also a fascinating supporting program. The milkers of the Karstädt agricultural cooperative helped with a mobile milking machine when milking the cows. Of course, the emotions were not long in coming: joy, anger and disappointment were clearly felt by the young breeders in the decisions of the judges. Manfred Glaser, an experienced cattle breeder, concentrated on the presentation of his breed cattle and remembered the loss of his bull Ursus in the previous year.

The highlights of the event

The other attractions of the animal show included a young sow with 14 piglets that were amazed to marvel, as some of these come from another sow. The so -called real cow glasses, developed by Benito Weiser, was particularly innovative, which simulates the visual behavior of a cow. With a 33 -degree sharp vision and 330 degrees round view, these glasses represent the visual habits of the animals in a vivid way. The challenges when walking through fishing gates and the lifting machine of the claw cutter were further exciting experiences for the visitors.

The stalls of the small animal breeders offered an insight into the world of poultry and rabbits, while enclosures with goats, alpacas, sheep and horses provided additional variety. Anyone interested in the history of animal breeding in Prignitz could admire historical photos and articles that also showed pictures of udder cows. It was an event that not only enjoyed animal breeding, but also the commitment of the breeders.

comparison with other successful cows

Not only "Fux aint no sun" sets standards-other cows like the almost ten-year "Larissa" from Baden-Württemberg also show impressive performances. As a winning cow of the state stainless show, Larissa reaches a milk yield of around 9,500 liters per year, which is in midfield compared to the bar of the high -performance milk cows. Larissa lives on the Jagsttalhof in Rindelbach and is held by Josef Hilsenbek, who breeds almost 100 cows and specializes in the Fleckvieh breed. Their commercial value is estimated at around 2,000 euros, which is based on its meat price of 5 euros per kilo. Despite their lives from eight calves, all of whom were bulls, Hilsenbek, Larissa continues to be inseminated in the hope of preserving female descendants, says the Schwäbische Post .

In the world of dairy cows, the route to success and lifespan is often not easy, especially due to overbreeding and economic requirements. While the average lifespan of a milk cow in Germany is only five years, it could be up to 20 years in the wild if it is treated well. However, it is clear: for the breeders it is a constant balancing act between performance requirements and the well -being of their animals. The Prignitz animal show has once again shown that the passion for animals and breeding in the region remain alive.
