Holstein Prefix Rights Granted to Alvin Millerman Herd
Alvin Millerman of Huntley IHindy will exclusively use the prefix Larcam for all Registered Holstein dairy animals bred in his herd. The prefix is sanctioned by the Holstein Friesian Association of America and becomes part of national breed records at Battleboro Vermont headquarters. About 1,500 prefixes are reserved each year and over 38,000 are on file for distinctive home-bred cattle names. Reservation and use of prefixes became an active member requirement in 1965. Using a prefix creates a trade mark for published information on dairy animal performance. Prefixes typically derive from farm names, family combinations, or farm features, preserving their exclusive nature.
