Holstein Association USA, Inc. 7/21/96

The Holstein Association USA, Inc. is a nonprofit, membership organization made up of approximately 45,000 people with strong interests in breeding, raising and milking Holstein cattle. It is the world's largest dairy cattle breed organization and is headquartered in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Their web site isn't too good. There are no links to any other site (which makes it a dead end), and the logo of the company they hired to maintain the web site is displayed as large as Holstein's and in such a way that it seems more prominent than Holstein's logo.

They have a page for clothing sales that takes forever to load. It also is inappropriate. It gives the wrong impression as to the priorities of Holstein USA.

July 1996 Active Holstein Sire List 7/24/96

This list is at our web site and is presented as a public service until such time as the USDA figures out that it has some responsibility to present this information in a form that the public can access. It would only take them 10 minutes (that is how long it took me to get this page on the web.) Sorry no type data here.

Raw Sire Proofs at USDA7/21/96

REALLY RAW! The USDA is assuming no responsibility to present this data to the public in an understandable form. You're have to wait for the semen venders.

Livestock Show Reform Act 7/21/96

The State of Ohio is cracking down on show ring cheats. What they don't know yet is that the dairy show people may cheat even more than the beef guys. We're just harder to catch.

1995 World Dairy Expo results 7/21/96

An amazing elite group of cattle were trucked from all across Canada and the United States to be shown during this world renowned event.

Folks,

This is strictly my own opinion as of 7/21/96 and does not apply to Holstein Canada or the Ohio Holstein Association.

"In all of American agricultural history, there has probably never been a membership organization that has grown more "out of touch" with it's membership than Holstein USA.

"They have pretty much abandoned their function as a member service organization. They have totally ceased promoting Registered Holsteins vs.grades. Many of their programs undermine the value of Registered Holsteins. "Whose side are these guys on?", is a legitimate concern when dealing with Holstein.
