Tomargo Recluse Holsteins
There is a lot that goes into breeding a herd over generations, and classification gives us an opportunity to stop and take an independent look at how that work is progressing.
At different times throughout the year, independent classifiers from Holstein Australia visit Little Big Dairy Co to assess a selected group of cows from our herd, registered under the name Tomargo Recluse Holsteins.
Each selected cow gets her own time in the yards. Her conformation is assessed against the Holstein breed standard and she is awarded an overall classification score.
For our family and farm team, classification is both a chance to recognise some pretty special cows and a practical tool for the future. The independent assessment gives us valuable information to help guide breeding decisions and continue improving the herd generation after generation.
Our next classification tour is due in September 2026.
January to June 2026
In the first half of 2026, the results published here include 120 Tomargo Recluse cows classified Very Good or Excellent.
That includes:
21 Excellent results
13 cows classified VG89
18 cows classified VG88
23 cows classified VG87
14 cows classified VG86
31 cows classified VG85
We’re particularly proud to recognise the following cows with Excellent classifications.

Generations in the making
A classification score captures one day in the yards, but the cows standing there are the result of many years of breeding, feeding, care and decisions made across generations.
There will always be another little thing for us to work on. These results are also a good reason to stop for a moment and appreciate what our cows and farm team have achieved so far in 2026.
