This month in Holstein International

 

Ontario

The Canadian province has a rich history as a source of outstanding Holsteins. Nowadays too, the dams of international top bulls like Goldwyn and Shottle were born in Ontario.

Millionaires

What was quite unique 10 years ago happens on a regular basis nowadays; Holstein bulls from which more than 1 million units of semen are sold.

WHFF

‘Higher standards for animal welfare with sufficient profitability,’ is the message of David Hewitt of the WHFF, the umbrella organization of 41 national herd books.

Red Holsteins

Marine, Faromir, Listel, Redwing, Holly and the Massias: Lots of sources for red & white genetics in this issue of HI. At Elmbridge too Red Holsteins are prominent.

Faith

The family has its basis in the U.S. state of Minnesota but in the meantime the genes are widely spread. The descendants of Ralma Juror Faith are proving their potential time and again.
