At the interregional competition held on October 8, 2026, at the Sommet de l’élevage in Cournon, Tétropbell, a Jersey cow from the Gaec du Gard (50), was crowned grand champion of her breed. The event brought together seventy-seven Jersey females competing in the dairy ring, where they were judged by Rémy Colpaert from the Pas-de-Calais. The competition attracted a large audience, with people traveling from across France to support the participating breeders. Tétropbell, who was in her third lactation (the period during which a cow produces milk after giving birth), had previously won the grand champion title at the last Space event. Judge Rémy Colpaert praised her as "the most complete cow today, very compact and well made," highlighting her "solidity of her upper body as well as an exceptional udder with excellent front and rear attachments." In addition to the grand champion title, Tétropbell was also awarded the titles of young champion and best young udder.
Lalie de l’Odyssée, a Jersey cow in her eighth lactation, was named adult champion at the competition. Judge Rémy Colpaert commended her for "exceptional freshness considering the number of lactations, as if time had no effect on her," and described her as "a very solid cow, with a udder that remains well attached to the body." Lalie de l’Odyssée is jointly owned by the SCEA en Crozes (81) and the Ferme de l’Odyssée.
The competition featured multiple categories, with several prizes awarded to different cows. Cop Ushuaia (Chrome, Jamie), jointly owned by the SCEA en Crozes (81) and the Ferme de l’Odyssée, was named young champion. Trétropbell (Guimo Joel, VJ Lure), from the Gaec du Gard (50), won the prize for the best young udder.
