In 2007 there were 24 Guernsey cows that have bettered the Lifetime production standard of the Grand Diploma of Merit (GDM) which is set at 5000 kilos of Fat and Protein. The awards are made automatically by the computer system and a list is kept in the office but no longer published for “cost saving” reasons. At a time when dairy cow fertility is said to be in decline then these cows are deserving of greater recognition.
