Last week, Holstein Association USA released the lists of the top Holstein Breed Age Average (BAA%) herds for 2018 classifications. A number of herds from Minnesota and South Dakota ranked in the list of Overall Top 200 BAA Herds for 2018.

The top herd from Minnesota was John P. & Rachael Holmgren with a rank of 4th overall on the list and a rank of 3rd on the list for Herds of 10 to 25 Cows. They recorded a BAA of 115 with 11 cows.  Several herds from Minnesota and South Dakota made the top 200 list and respective lists for herd size.

The Holstein Breed Age Average (BAA%) value provides a way to compare the score of an animal (and herd average) to the average of the breed, taking into account age of the animal and stage of lactation. All animals receive an individual BAA value on your herd classification report, and herds participating in the Classic or Standard options of the Holstein Classification program receive an overall BAA for the herd.
