The award
The purpose of the Hellenbrand Lasting Legacy Award (HLLA) is to provide an aspiring and deserving high school dairy youth a chance to own and show a high-end genetic heifer at local, district and state shows including World Dairy Expo.
The winner of the HLLA will receive 50% ownership in a September, December or March calf from a previous breed champion at the World Dairy Expo. The breed of the calf awarded is expected to rotate on an annual basis amongst all the dairy breeds.
The 2025 award will be a Red and White calf from the 2022 World Dairy Expo Red and White Grand Champion, Ms Ransom-Rail, Beth-Red-ET. The calf donors, Milksource Genetics, Ransom Rail and Laurie Fischer, will provide the calf to the Hellenbrand Lasting Legacy Award (HLLA) winner in time for the 2025 show season.
