If you’ve ever been around a dairy cattle showring, or picked up a purebred publication, there's a good chance you know the name “Budjon.” One of the most well-known prefixes in today’s registered cattle business, their lengthy list of showring achievements include:

  • 6 Premier Breeder banners from World Dairy Expo
  • 5 National Show Supreme Champions
  • 200 All-American nominations among the Holstein, Jersey and Red and White breeds
  • 100 All-Canadian nominations across all those three breeds as well

But don’t let the showring fame fool you. The Budjon brand isn’t only about trophies and ribbons; they have adapted their focus to become known as a premier boarding facility for elite genetics, and they continue to diversify and re-structure to create a permanent place for themselves in an ever-changing dairy industry.

So how are they doing this? Listen to Editor Peggy Coffeen’s interview with the farm to find out.
