Megan (18) who also attained five straight A's in her final year at school, is taking a year out to work with 1200-cow Holstein herd which averages 9500litres. She particularly enjoys working with show cows having exhibited the privately purchased VG88-2yr Wolfa Chief Sue to win numerous awards at various events up and down the country.
Her show stopper, Chief Sue a second calver boasts a kist load of awards with Megan at the helm. She was junior inter-breed champion at the Royal Highland Show, first in her class at UK Dairy Day and heifer champion at AgriScot.
