Canada Master-Breeder Award. The Central Experimental Farm was established in 1886 to further agriculture research and education so as to make agriculture more profitable, to increase food production, and to encourage families to stay on farms. G.W. Muir was the Dominion Animal Husbandman and received the plaque. C.D. Mackenzie was in charge of the dairy herd. Holstein-Friesians, now often known simply as Holsteins, are the principle dairy cow in Canada. The breed leads in milk production and adapts well to a range of environments. Holstein-Friesians were first imported to North America from Holland in 1881. The breed first arrived in the United States, but was introduced to Canada the same year. The Holstein-Freisian Association of Canada was established in 1901 and was incorporated nationally in 1901. According to its website, it "is the only organization authorized to register Holstein cattle in Canada. The basic purpose of the Association is to improve the breed of Holstein cattle. To this end, it maintains a Herdbook and provides many services to its members to assist them in evaluation, selecting, and improving their herds". Master-Breeder has been awarded since 1929 and continues to be awarded today. The award considers both production and type (conformation). It is the association’s highest honour.
