As of March 2020, all Holstein UK members are automatically enrolled into the Lifetime Production awards scheme.
When Holstein UK receives the milk records from your milk recording authority they are checked for eligibility and the awards are made accordingly. A certificate will be sent for all animals that achieve LP100 and above. For animals that achieve LP130 and above, you will receive a certificate and a rose bowl or paperweight for the qualifiying animal. Only one rose bowl or paperweight will be issued per animal.
A charge of £1.13 (plus VAT as appropriate) will be invoiced for each LP award made.
