1973 a Banner Year
For Holsteln-Frieelan
Association of America and
subsidiary Holsteln-Frieslan
Services, Inc., 1973 will go
down in history as the year in
which all programs and
services melded into a
unified, inter-related,
cohesive unit in the “Full
Service” concept of the
Association.
Increased participation
was achieved in many areas
including transfers, mem
bership, classification,
performance pedigrees,
international marketing and
the Genetic Evaluation and
Management Service, GEM,
with excellent, although not
record-breaking par
ticipation in all other areas.
Registrations continued to
flow into Holstein
headquarters at a very high
rate with 285,819 new cer
tificates issued, the third
highest total ever and more
than 75 percent of the cer
tificates issued by the five
major dairy breeds during

the year. In addition, 160,817
transfers of ownership were
recorded, the highest annual
total in history.
New and renewed mem
berships for the year were
slightly higher than last
year’s 2,788, bringing the
total active national
membership of HFAA to
nearly 27,000. Total Junior
members now exceed 7,000
with 1,539 juniors joining the
Association in 1973.
Another all-time high was
set in the performance
pedigree department with
39,057 pedigrees issued,
more than double the 1972
figure. Individual orders for
pedigrees totalled 2,825 of
which 376 were for the
special milking herd
pedigree package. This
compares to 47 special herd
pedigree requests in 1972.
Record participation was
achieved in the classification
program with over 181,000
animals offered in 3,925
herds, of which over 146,000

for HFAA
received a new breakdown.
In addition, some 1,200 grade
Holsteins in 90 herds were
descriptively evaluated.
Participation in the DHIR
production testing program
remained steady.
The services offered
through the Association’s
subsidiary HFS, Inc. con
tinued to make remarkable
gains, with both in
ternational marketing and
the GEM Service showing
substantial increases. More
than 8,000 Holsteins were
exported to 14 different
countries. In addition, more
than 1,000 animals of other
dairy and beef breeds were
exported through HFS, Inc.
Highlight of the year for
the GEM Service was the
enrolling of Green Meadow
Farms, Elsie, Michigan, the
largest all-registered
Holstein herd in the U.S with
1,400 milking cows. At years
end, 19 consultants were
conducting the GEM Service
throughout the country.
The Holstein Sire
Development Service was
implemented by year-end
with tremendous response
and interest shown. Demand
for the HFS Cow Calendar
continued at a good rate,
providing many Holstein
dairymen with a unique and
extremely useful herd
record-keeping tool.
In addition to excellent
participation in the
Association’s programs and
services, a number of

Indeed, 1973 was a banner
year for HFAA. But with still
more new programs and
services on the drawing
board, the promise of even
greater achievements ap
peared certain for ihe
coming year.
