Like many entrants at the start of our list, Ferme Gillette is still building their name. Master Breeder shields, Class Extra Sires, males and females at the top of the genomic list, honor list producers, All-Canadian awards, two Canadian cow of the year awards, and even a Guinness World Record. The Patenaude family has already achieved many great ...
Markwell Holsteins and Regancrest Farms, like Gillette is continuing to build their legacies. Both farms are built around strong foundation cows. For Regancrest that is Snow-N-Denises Dellia and Queen of the Breed II. Leading the way is the Remarkable Raven recognized for her brood-cow status. Her genetics are among the most sought after around the...
In fleeing his turbulent Argentina Hector I. Astengo came to Canada and purchased the outstanding A.B.C. farms. During its time Rosafe produced such great breeding stock as Temple Farm May, A.B.C. Inka May, A.B.C. Pontiac Pathfinder and the great A.B.C. Reflection Sovereign, probably the biggest contributor to their success. While it was impossible...
In the 1960’s and 1970’s the Romandale Farm’s herd owned by Stephen and George Roman was a commanding force in Holstein affairs. In its glory years, it fielded North America’s leading show herd. For a decade, it claimed the history setting record for All-Canadian bred and owned. Romandale Farms was the home of show ring conquerors, potent brood cow...
The bloodlines developed by the Comestarherd have wielded major impact on the Holstein world. Through Comestar Laurie Sheik and her descendants, Comestar has made a name for themselves world wide as a force to be reckoned with. Marc Comtois has never wavered in the kind of cow he wanted to breed and work with. “She must have dairyness, good bone qu...
As a result of his line-breeding (inbreeding when it works), Frederick Roy Ormiston rode the high crest of success and affluence. Often called “The Holstein Man’s Holstein Man”, an informal poll in the late 1980’s by Holstein World, voted him North America’s most admired breeder. Dismayed with the artificial insemination industry’s increasing relia...
No list can be complete without including the home of Glenridge Citation Roxy, two time Queen of the Breed.

The belief that quality milk came only from quality cows eventually led Elbridge Amos Stuart, owner of the evaporated milk company Carnation, to establish his own breeding farm, known as Carnation Farm.

Macaulay an insurance executive actually got into Holstein cattle more by chance than by design. When he discovered the farm he had purchased was more of a sand pile than great ...
Herds that have been able to create their own genetic brand name have been few and far between.

Peter Heffering and Kenneth Trevena formed the greatest cattle breeding and...
