North Canterbury dairy cow still turning heads despite her age
Dairy cow Vanessa’s youthful looks and longevity have propelled her into an elite club of bovines who have been recognised for their superior traits and longevity.
Belbrook Dynamic Vanessa EX5, of Rangiora, has been classified excellent for a fifth time at the ripe old age of 18.
She is owned by brothers Robbie and John Wakelin, of Belbrook Holsteins, who said they were elated with the achievement.
“It’s quite rare. Dairy cows work a lot harder these days and don’t often live long enough to meet the required criteria," John says.
