About Classification
Your key to high production, trouble-free, long-lasting cows
The Holstein Australia Classification Program helps you to breed high production, trouble-free and long-lasting cows. Classification provides an objective and impartial assessment of the conformation of your cows. It compares each animal to the Holstein 'True Type' cow, the internationally recognised yardstick of structural correctness.
Holstein Australia has provided professional classification services to the Australian dairy industry for almost 50 years. This service has played a significant role in the improvement of the Australian Holstein breed and the development of export markets for Australian genetics.
