A Vermont based service, backed by the National Holstein Association, is computerizing Holstein genetic histories for key cow families. The Selz farm in Vermont hosts the pilot with participation from Wisconsin Holstein Association figures.
Vermont Computer Software, led by Philip Tremblay, plans a Bull Search Program giving Holstein breeders fingertip access to histories of 400 top bulls. The archive will cover 200 cows at a farm, with 18 data slots on calving, feeding, health, breeding and family lines. Costs: about 2500 dollars for a 200 cow herd, 1500 for a 125 cow herd, plus 3600 to 5000 for on farm hardware. Interested parties should contact local Holstein Association officials.
About 1,000 people attended the John and William Selz farm for a Clark-Jackson County Holstein Twilight meeting. The event showcased the Johann Holsteins and the farm’s feeding program, with guests noting genetics and computer-age farming. The Selz operation, in existence since 1893, spans 500 acres with over 300 registered Holsteins and a milking herd over 120 cows. The farm’s notable metrics include 23,378 pounds milk per lactation and 846 pounds butterfat, plus numerous production and breeding records across the herd.
