Board of Directors
The Ontario Holstein Branch was founded in 1981 as the provincial link of the Holstein Association of Canada. With the largest purebred Holstein genetic base in the nation, Ontario has always been the number one destination of the world's dairymen who are seeking new genetics to improve their herds.
Ten elected directors, fifty-two county councillors, and forty-two local Holstein Clubs throughout the province work together to further breeder education and the promotion of identified cattle.
