Holstein Canada has awarded Marc Comtois of Comestar Holsteins its Certificate of Superior Accomplishment.
The award has been presented only 19 times in the past 128 years.
Lindenoord Rudolph Lilac, owned by Ferme Rolandale Enr., is Holstein Canada’s 2010 Cow of the Year, while Grillsdale Holsteins of Campbellford, Ont., won the Century of Holsteins Award.
The awards were presented during Holstein Canada’s annual meeting held May 14 in Halifax.
The organization reported at the meeting that it posted a net operating fund surplus of $597,323 for the 2010 fiscal year. Total revenue increased by 10.8 percent and was more than $12 million by year end. It was the result of an increase in registration, classification and genotyping services.
New records were achieved in animal registrations and classifications for the second consecutive year.
