Famous Holstein Herd Spurs Western Cattle Development
The Canadian Pacific Railway began a Holstein herd at Strathmore Alberta about eighteen years ago to supply its own needs and to provide cattle for Western Development. The Strathmore herd emphasizes high milk and butterfat, show quality, and uniform good Holstein type under the Animal Husbandry Department. High investment, including a $106,000 Holstein bull purchase, boosted the herd’s prestige as it produced champions at Kentucky State Fair, Nashville, and Chattanooga, with Strathmore cattle excelling at prairie shows and in western exhibitions.
