Holstein cattle are
incredibly popular. Indeed, the Holstein breed of dairy cattle
is by far the number one breed in the world for milk production.
Milk yields of up
to and over 14,000 litres in a year (in a duster that milks
the cows 4 times per day) have been recorded. In one large
farming system the Almarai farms in Saudi Arabia
the 66,000 cows produce over 14,000 litres on average, per
year.
Back in Europe the average is around 7,500
litres. This can vary from a 6,000 litre average on a low
cost, spring calving, grass based, farming system on twice
a day milking to 12,000 litres on a three times a day milking,
highly intensive system.
Elsewhere in Europe, we are also able to
source Holstein cattle from quality breeding lines. Moffett

France for a number of years. Be it intensive high yielding
Holsteins for indoor systems or a grass based system, our
