Some of the world’s best Holsteins have their roots right here in New York!
Holstein International’s 2026 Global Cow of the Year, AOT Deluxe Hi-Lighted, was bred by NY Holstein members AOT Genetics, while third-place finisher Kings-Ransom Casp Daze is bred owned by Kings-Ransom Farm, LLC
The New York connections don’t end there, with Aurora Ridge, Clear Echo, Oakfield Corners, and CookieCutter represented among the Top 20 finalists.
It’s another reminder of the caliber of cattle being developed by New York breeders and the impact those breeding programs continue to have well beyond our state. Congratulations to all involved!
