Border & Lakeland Holstein Club

Today we have approximately 200 members mostly in Cumbria but ranging from Fife to Somerset. The aims and objectives of the club are to promote & improve the Holstein & the Friesian cow. We strongly believe that pedigree cattle are the way forward & we continue to try to improve the breed using Type Classification & milk recording.

Sales

The Club hosts monthly sales under Holstein UK Society rules, stock judging events, shows, Herd Visits & other meetings, these are just a few of the ways we try to promote our cattle, as well as a winter & a summer herd competition. 

Herd competitions give our members the opportunity to promote their herds & the chance to be put forward for the national Premier Herd Award. We currently have 11 herds who have had a Master Breeders Award within the club and 3 herds who have won the National Premier Herd competition.
