Hungary buys Pennsylvania Holsteins for Hungary dairy herds
A group of five Hungarian dairy specialists visited Black and White Holstein Farm as the first leg of a U.S. buying trip. They plan to purchase 320 registered Holstein heifers for air shipment to state farms in Hungary, about 120 from Pennsylvania. Kennedy of the National Holstein-Friesian Association notes this is Hungary’s first Holstein shipment from the U.S. and expects about 15,000 pounds of annual milk per cow in Hungary.
