DairyTalk 89: Three Breeding Paths, One Goal - Everyday Holstein Strategies - by Helmut Demmelhuber

There’s no single formula for breeding - it’s a matter of
philosophy.
In this DairyTalk episode, Helmut Demmelhuber presents three
distinct Holstein breeding strategies:
The Show Breeder, focused on beauty and
prestige.
The Production Professional, driven by data,
efficiency, and profitability.
And the Family Farm, combining genetics,
welfare, and brand authenticity.
Each approach works - when it fits the farmer’s values and
vision.
Because real breeding success is always personal.
