Holstein Canada Award Winners Announced

Holstein Canada has announced results for the new annual Holstein Canada Awards. These awards are given to individual animals and herds owned by Holstein Canada members, and will be announced on March 1st of each year. Awards are based on lactations terminated in the previous calendar year. The total production for the entire lactation is indicated and animals must be registered with greater than or equal to 75% purity. Award categories include Daily Production Champion, Outstanding Production Champions, and Herd of Distinction Awards.

 

To be eligable for the Daily Production Champion Award, animals must be 60 months of age or older and have completed a minimum of four lactations. Animals are ranked in order of top kilograms of milk per day of life. Total milk, fat and protein values are divided by the number of days of life (birthdate to completion of lactation). Awards are based on lactations completed in 2020.

 

Outstanding Production Champions are determined by the total milk produced by age at completion of their last lactation in 2020, and awarded within each age group. 

 

Evaluation of all cows in the herd having completed a lactation in 2020 is done to determine winners of the Herd of Distinction Award. Lifetime milk production of all animals in the herd who have completed a lactation in 2020 are used to calculate the Milk Herd average. Awards are then grouped by herd size (herd size = number of animals completing a lactation in 2020).
