Badger Holsteins and Harmony-Ho Holsteins have a long history of breeding high producing dairy cows with excellent type traits, resulting in a strong demand for females and herd sires. Both herds have been AI sired for over 30 years. Sire selection criteria have remained focused and rigid, using only sires which will positively improve the udder, feet and legs and overall body conformation, while ranking near the top of the breed for Net Merit Index. The Meyer and Bredl families are excited and proud to provide their fellow dairymen with a herd sire product resulting from years of intensive production, biosecurity and genetic selection efforts.
