Gold Cup Open Day - Holeshouse Farm, Ayrshire

The family received the honour at Dairy-Tech 2023.

The award considers elements of production, inspection and genetic management, and aims to award all-round excellence in the dairy sector.

The monetary value of the cup changes with the price of gold but it is worth near £100,000, according to NMR.

The Logan family

The Logan family partnership is now in its fifth generation and consists of brothers Alex, Tom and Hugh, alongside Tom’s sons Alistair and Stuart.

The 280 Holstein cows in the Logan’s herd averaged 10,500kg of milk at 4.1% butterfat and 3.4% protein on twice-a-day milking for the qualifying year to September 2021.

The family’s milk is sold to Muller – the largest milk supplier and distributor in Great Britain.

The family credits their success to the use of technology and data to maximise the health and welfare of their herd.
