Holstein World: What is the one trait that you feel the Holstein breed needs to improve today? Do you have any advice for young dairymen and women?

Willow’s Edge: We do not know what is the trait that needs the most improvement, but we are always concerned about the reproductive capabilities of an animal.

Our advice for young breeders is stay open minded. Find a mentor breeder whom you can count on to bounce ideas off of. Study the pedigrees and develop your own style. Then remember to find a way to advertise and market those cattle.
