    • About Us

    First Glance Holsteins saw its beginnings six short years ago when we discovered each other and the common enthusiasm and goals we each shared for the Registered Holstein breed. What began as working together at shows quickly changed to acquiring and developing cows together. As we made the commitment to each other and our dream of building a herd of quality registered Holsteins, we purchased our farm and have slowly made it what it is today.

    When purchasing our first animals, we focused on finding an animal that had the potential to develop into something special. As we were able, we began to concentrate on building depth of pedigree as well. We’re proud to say that we have developed nearly 30 Excellent cows, with 4 of them reaching 94 points. By focusing on cow comfort, our cows have worked hard for us. We’ve achieved a 30,000 lb. herd average, but have conceded to less as we’ve “tightened our belts” with the economic strain we’ve all experienced this past year. Deciding to have a sale was a tough one to make, but we agree that we need to reduce our workload and the everyday stress and strain that comes with it. Who knows, we might even learn what a vacation is this summer!

    We’ve worked very hard to make this herd what they have become, and we’re confident that these animals can perform and develop even more for you!
    We now have box stalls in with more to be made!
