Master Breeder Award

Master Breeder rewards Holstein members whose herds achieve a high standard in both classification and production. As of January 2021, a Master Breeder score will now be calculated automatically for every herd prefix, each month. The ten herds with the highest average score over the previous 12 months will be awarded Master Breeder in April of each year.
