28 Pennsylvania Holsteins Go To Mexico
Twenty eight registered Holstein heifers from Pennsylvania were shipped to Mexico. Twenty come from Mapoval Farms at Milan with the remainder from the Chaffee and Neers holdings at Ulster. Mexican buyers now graze the cattle as Holsteins dominate the region, reflecting rising demand for seed stock. The Holstein Friesian Association reports 628 of 1,510 transferred last year went to Mexico, with 399 more crossing the border in early 1958.
