Holstein Canada True Type Models
True Type models depicting the Canadian dairy animal have existed for many
years. In 2003, Holstein Canada's Board of Directors formed a committee to
work to develop new True Type models. From August 2003 to July 2004,
renowned wildlife sculptor Ken Finucan and a committee of respected breeders
and industry experts conducted meetings and sculpting workshops to bring the
dynamic pair to life. New True Type Holstein cow and bull models were
created and years later, in 2007, the young first calf heifer model was
created.
The new models, also available in Red & White, are cast in urethane
resin, which is a strong and durable material that can be moulded with
intricate detail. In recent years, a new two-year old True Type model was
developed. The True Type model committee meets once a year to continue to
improve and develop the modern-day kind of day that the model should
accurately reflect.
True Type models make a wonderful gift for the Holstein enthusiasts in your
life.

Efforts were focused on making refinements to the 1994 model. Her udder is
capacious but well and strongly attached. Her feet & legs exhibit
fluidity of movement with realistic detail in the feet. She is showing all
qualities needed for a trouble-free locomotion therefore an improved
longevity. Her stance in the front legs looks natural thereby giving her
appearance of mobility. Her rump is wide and well positioned for a mature
cow. She has a great length of body, a well-sprung, wide and open
structure of ribs. Her head and neck are refined down through to the point
of shoulder. She seems to show all qualities for a great milker that will
last long in any herd or type of operation.

Two decades have passed since the previous True Type bull, so the new
model was developed from a clean start. Without losing his masculinity,
the new True Type bull shows the incredible dairy strength that is sought
in the modern dairy bull. You never get tired of looking at this model
bull, admiring his openness, angularity, and length of neck, to complement
his overall strength and depth of heart. A look ahead to the future needs
of the Holstein breed.

She's a young heifer calving at 22 to 24 months of age, and three months
fresh. She possesses a strong will to milk, yielding at least 45 to 50 kg
per day. A functional and trouble-free young cow, moderate in size (about
57 inches), she has attributes allowing her to become better with age and
provide the most profit to her owners over a long life. A well-sloped rump
facilitates calving throughout her life. She is slightly lower at the
front-end and represents a typical heifer that freshened at a young age
and will develop more depth of body as she matures. This gives an
appearance of a little heaviness in the fore udder; however, the
attachment is very strong. The udder is soft and capacious, with a slight
reverse tilt that will level as she ages. Though exhibiting the
hard-working frame of a young dairy cow, she possesses well-sprung, open
ribs that pronounce her dairy strength and potential to come.
