Mission Statement
Heather Holme Holsteins is a family-owned and operated dairy farming business specializing in producing high quality milk and breeding and merchandising elite holstein genetics worldwide.

The Heatherington family of Scotland immigrated to Canada as the crown deeded them a farm in Colborne Township near Goderich, Ontario. To honour their Scottish heritage they chose to inscribe Heather Holme on the bridge leading in the farm lane.

Our parents, Cliff and Evelyn McNeil purchased this farm in 1933 and chose Heather Holme as their prefix when they became members of the Holstein Association of Canada in 1959, as a young couple’s new venture in the Holstein fraternity.

Since 1977 Glen and Vanda McNeil are the second generation to carry on this herd prefix and we are thrilled to have our son Curtis joining us in our family business. Curtis also prepares cattle for dairy shows having traveled across Canada, United States, Spain, Germany, Holland, Italy and Australia.

Our daughter Katie has always loved cows however her real passion is sports. Katie and Dan Henhawk were married August 25 2007 at our farm. Katie is Assistant Athletic Director at Appleby College in Oakville, Ontario.Dan has completed his Masters program and is now pursuing his PhD at the University of Waterloo.

We are honoured for our family to have received two Master Breeder Shields, Cliff and Evelyn in 1980; Glen, Vanda, Katie and Curtis in 1996. We invite you to explore Heather Holme Holsteins.
