We are delighted to report our results from UK Dairy Expo 2026, which featured a record entry in the Holstein section. Astonpool Holsteins exhibited just one animal this year after only recently returning from the Holstein UK Australia Exchange a few weeks prior to the show. Despite the small team, Astonpool Moovin to the Groovin made us extremely proud.

Moovin to the Groovin won the Summer Calf class with 36 animals entered, before going on to be named Honourable Mention Junior Champion (Black & White Holsteins). This marks a fantastic milestone for us — our first class winner at the UK’s premier show, Dairy Expo, and our second national class winner in as many years.
Shortly after the conclusion of the show, Moovin to the Groovin was purchased by Grayridge Holsteins. We wish them the very best of luck with her and look forward to watching her continue to develop under their expertise.
We would like to thank everyone who played a part in Moovin to the Groovin’s success, especially Jodie for leading her in the ring and Alex for the final touches, and to H&H and Glyn Lucas for organising such a world Class event.
