U.S. Holsteins gain popularity in Europe
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. -
U.S. Holstein cattle have
3ade substantial' gains
nong breeders of Eastern
Europe according -to
Holstein Association
President W. R. Brooks and
Executive Chairman Robert
H. Rumler, both of whom
have just completed a two
week consultant visit to
Germany, Romania and
Hungary.
The men represented HFA
m planning sessions dealing
with the sale of U.S.
Holsteins in Romania and
Hungary. In a refmement of
the Romanian talks begun
last year, Brooks and
Rumler related the suc
cessful experiences of the
association and the program
of animal exportatidh to
Hungary.
They said that the
Romanian people they
visited in the area of the
Plains near Bucharest and in
the Carpathian mountains
both felt that the future of
milk production in those
areas would someday come
from U.S. Holsteins.
Interest was shown in the
U.S. health regulations for
export cattle and the
availability of 'HFA
technical assistant
programs to Romania.

Meanwhile in Hungary,
Brooks and Rumler entered
into talks with Hungarian
officials about the coming
five-year plan which should
be finalized in 1979. “It was a
strategic time to express the
thinking of the association at
this session,” Brooks said.
At a wrapup meeting on
technical assistance to
Hungary, the men joined
HFA consultants Ray
Kliewer and Dr. Bliss
Crandall in discussions of
computerization of herd
records.
Dr. Istvan Zelenka, of
Tenmpex, the Hungarian
cattle trading company,
released import figures to
the men. Zelenka stated that
since 1972, Hungary has
imported 22,518 head of
Holstein and Friesian cattle.
Of these animals, 66 per cent
or 15,056 head were U.S.
animals bought through the
services of HFS, Inc.
Brooks and Rumler also
visited state farms where
U.S. animals were housed
and talked with persons of
the National Center of State
Farms, National Courts of
Agricultural Cooperatives
and National Animal
Breeding and Feeding In

Jeno Vancsa, vice minister
of agriculture for livestock

into a stall, and back a five
axle harvester rig down a 20

and other persons at the

and the Ministry of,
Agriculture.
There was great interest in
Holsteins in Germany. The
men saw an influence of U.S.
animals at two shows there.
At a farm show at Schleswig-
Holstein, they noted that 55
per cent of the 110 pre
selected animals were of
U.S. Holstein blood. About 30
per cent ofa'll females shown
were daughters of U.S. bred
Holstein bulls. Six of the 12
bulls in the show were sons
of Round Oak Rag Apple
Elevation.
At an anniversary show at
the AI Center in Meckingsen,
they showed the daughters of
10 different sires of which
eight were U.S. bred bulls.
The HFA men reported
evidence of more than 50 per
cent of the Holstein animals
observed as having been
bred from U.S. Holstein
blood.
“In some bams we saw
signs that listed actual
percentage of U.S. Holstein
blood in the animals,”
Rumlersaid.
