Holstein Canada is pleased to offer a National Holstein Young Leader Convention program to Holstein enthusiasts aged 19-30.
The agenda for the program is developed around Holstein Canada’s Annual Holstein Convention which is held in a different province each year.
The program involves presentations, farm tours, on-farm workshops, and participation and attendance at the Annual General Meeting of Members and The Master Breeder Awards Gala.
The Young Adult program offers an excellent opportunity for young leaders to network, learn from experienced and likeminded Holstein breeders, and visit different regions of Canada.
Join a passionate group of young dairy industry professionals for 4 days of learning and networking.
