The Collins Family, 2007

Registered Holsteins have been in the Powder Hill herd for over 50 years.  For many years the main focus of our breeding program was on high producing animals or commercial stock.  Today, under the management of John Collins, most of the purebred Holsteins at Powder Hill Farm are being bred with more type for the longer lasting and more correct cows. Production is never overlooked but our philosophy is this: breed for longevity and you'll end up with a more productive and profitable dairy cow.

Showing dairy cattle on a local, state and national level has been an important marketing tool for our herd.  John has devoted much of his time to showing and judging dairy cattle, and in addition to showing his own cows he also offers a fitting service for other dairy herds.
