The owner
of Speedside Holsteins, which has a prominent sign on its barn beside Highway
401, was presented with a Certificate of Recognition at Holstein Canada’s
annual meeting recently in Alberta.
He was
nominated by the Ontario Holstein Branch which says he has been instrumental in
promoting programs of the Holstein breed and initiating the lifelong interest
in the dairy industry for many young people.
His
daughter, Wendy, was an Ontario Dairy Princess and she married farm reporter
and CTV broadcaster David Imrie of Kitchener who is also a dairy farmer.
It has
been seven years since Holsteins Canada has awarded a Certificate of
Recognition.
