Classification


In 2022, Holstein Canada classified 237,884 animals across Canada!

Classification Makes Sense

Classification is a comprehensive evaluation of the physical structure of a dairy animal.

Benefits to Classifying your Animals:

When a herd starts to classify, several methods of herd improvement are initiated. By utilizing the information to make more informed and profitable decisions, herd owners can appreciate the value of the service.

  • Early culling tool that identifies problem cows
  • Insight into possible management changes
  • Consultation with an objective/unbiased expert who sees thousands of farms across Canada
  • Benchmarking your herd against others
  • Mating & Selection Tool
    • Select the best cows in the herd to keep for next lactations, and to be the dams of your next generation of cows
    • Select the optimal sire to mate to each cow or group of cows

Low Cost Investment with a High Return – cows with better functional conformation do last longer and generate more income over their lifetime!

Classification
Herd Visit Fee $150
Mid-Round Herd Visit Fee $150
Per Classified Animal $12
  • Classification is offered across Canada on a four or eight-month interval.
    • Large and progressive herds have all enjoyed having more frequent classification visits for greater ease, efficiency and effectiveness for their operations and goals. Several of them have fully incorporated their classification results into their mating program.
  • The fees to classify are $150 for the herd visit fee and an additional $12 per classified animal.
