The Holstein Foundation is pleased to announce that Heather Moore of Maquoketa, Iowa, will be joining the Board of Trustees. The trustees oversee the direction of the Holstein Foundation’s youth and young adult education and leadership development program.

“I am honored to join the Holstein Foundation Board of Trustees,” Moore says. “The future of our industry lies in our future leaders, and I am looking forward to serving them through the Holstein Foundation.”

Heather and her husband Brandon own and operate Moore Family Farms, a first-generation diversified Registered Holstein and livestock farm; Moore Family Farms Creamery, where they market 20% of their milk direct to consumers; Moore Local, two specialty groceries and coffee shops that feature their farm products and many other local and specialty goods; and Rockdale Locker, a USDA-inspected meat locker. Heather and Brandon also have five children, Tucker, Cassidy, Cooper, Sutton, and Palmer.

Moore began showing dairy cattle in high school, which spurred her passion for the dairy industry. Heather is also a 4-H leader and serves on the Jackson County Farm Bureau Board of Directors. The Moore family also exhibits their dairy cattle at the local level.
