Export Market Is Available To Local Holstein Producers Dairymen in country after country are buying quality cat tle through Holstein-Friesian Services Foreign Marketing Operation. Orders at top prices far ex ceed supply! Despite this fact, 13,000 Holstein cattle were shipped last year to 35 coun tries from all areas in the U.S. Many nations are now de veloping a livestock oriented agriculture as a means of im proving their standard of liv ing. This accelerates their ef forts in changing from heavy starch to higher animal derived protein diets. The American Holstein-Frie sian cow has proven to be the most efficient dairy animal in the world, according to foreign livestock officials. Foreign buy- FARM Rough & Tumble ers trust the records and quali ty of Holstein cattle offered for export because of the quality control feature offered by the Holstein-Friesian Association of America. The Export Inspection Certi ficate form gives identity, pro duction verification, certificate of parentage, and certifies the functional conformation of the animal. Official production re cords, insurance and health re quirements are included in this service. The majority of foreign buying requests specify mini mal standards for production and conformation. By truck, ship and plane, re cord backed quality Holsteins are being exported and creat ing new foreign markets. It can easily mean top money to you!
