Holstein Canada Announces First-Ever SUPER 10 Cow Recognition
Brantford, ON, May 8, 2025 – Holstein Canada is proud to announce a historic milestone in dairy cattle performance with the awarding of the very first SUPER 10 recognition to a Canadian Holstein cow. The SUPER recognition program celebrates elite cows that have consistently achieved SUPERIOR PRODUCTION over multiple consecutive lactations.
The inaugural recipient of the SUPER 10 title is MARSFIELD DENZEL KIMMY EX-93 8E 5*. Born on April 9, 2011, Kimmy has completed ten consecutive lactations, each meeting the rigorous production thresholds required to qualify for Holstein Canada’s SUPERIOR PRODUCTION recognition level. Over her career, she has produced an impressive 186,225 kg of milk, averaging 4.6% fat and 3.3% protein—a remarkable achievement that reflects both her genetic merit and excellent management.
Kimmy is proudly owned by Gert and Sonja Schryver of Stettler, Alberta, who have managed her throughout her productive career. Their dedication to herd management and long-term performance has made this extraordinary achievement possible.
"We’re incredibly proud to recognize MARSFIELD DENZEL KIMMY as the first SUPER 10 cow in Canada,” said Pascal Lemire, Registrar at Holstein Canada. "Her performance is a testament to both the strength of Holstein genetics and the long-term commitment of Canadian breeders to health, longevity, and production.”
