The announcement of the Master Breeder recipients has become an annual tradition at Holstein Canada. This tradition is now in its 91st year, and we are pleased to announce the 2020 Master Breeders.Seven winning herds hail from Ontario; seven from Quebec; two from P.E.I.; and Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, and Nova Scotia all had one. Two of the herds achieved an incredible fourth Shield: ALTONA LEA and RONBETH. Congratulations to the Master Breeders who joined the ranks of the most elite breeders across Canada!
Contact information for the winning producers is available on the Holstein Canada website.
We recognize these breeders for having mastered the art of breeding balanced cattle – high production and outstanding conformation with great reproduction, health and longevity. We will be celebrating this year’s recipients at the National Holstein Convention Master Breeder Gala in Ottawa, Ontario on Saturday, July 10, 2021. We will also be honouring the 2019 Master Breeders at a special Gala Thursday, July 8, 2021.
