This spot gives a wonderful view of the Connecticut River and especially of the new bridge being built. Nearby is the Holstein Association of Brattleboro, Vermont. It's the largest dairy breed organization in the world and has been on this spot since 1903.
" Since its formation, the Holstein Association has been dedicated to the development of the Holstein breed. Today, Holstein cattle dominate the U.S. dairy industry due to unexcelled production, greater income over feed costs, unequaled genetic merit, and their adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions.
Holstein Association USA maintains the records for all ancestry, identity, ownership, and performance information on more than 22 million Registered Holstein cattle that is contained in Association files.
The Association is in the business of providing information to dairy producers, members and nonmembers. This data is translated into information used by producers in making profitable business decisions.
Producers who use Association programs and services find they can make accurate breeding and management decisions, set goals for their herd, evaluate management practices, determine the market value of the breeding stock, and predict the performance and profitability of animals not yet born. "
Be sure and see the plaques and displays on the front of the building.
