If your prefix is on this 2025 All‑Canadian list, your phone’s about to ring. If it’s not, here’s who buyers will be calling instead.
Executive Summary : The 2025 All‑Canadian Holstein results made one thing crystal clear: a tight circle of prefixes – Jacobs, Butlerview, MilkSource, Westcoast and Famipage – owned the ring from calves to longtime production cows. On the junior side, heifers like DELCREEK PLEAD THE FIFTH, SMYGWATYS UNIX BAILEY and MS MILKSOURCE SUNDAY‑ET just jumped from “nice calves” to future donor‑pen priorities. In milking yearlings and 2‑year‑olds, outfits like Butlerview, Beckridge, Blondin and Jacobs again proved it’s not luck when fresh cows win banners and fill the tank in the same lactation. Senior stars GLENIRVINE UNIX SALLY, ALTONA LEA UNIX HERMINIE and HURCROFT AWE LILLYANN‑RED underlined why longevity, production and repeat ring presence still drive the biggest cheques in this business. Ferme Jacobs locking down Breeder’s Herd – with serious depth from Karnview, Petitclerc, Famipage and Sweetview – shows that real power sits with prefixes that can breed three great cows in a row, not just buy one. If your prefix is on this list, expect more calls for embryos, daughters and semen; if it’s not, this is the roadmap your competitors will quietly use to set their 2026 mating and marketing plans.
Holstein world – buckle up. The 2025 All‑Canadian results are in, and this year’s winners read like a who’s‑who of barns that live for the green shavings and don’t leave the lane unless they’re aiming for banners.
Holstein Canada has officially unveiled the 2025 All‑Canadian Holstein winners, showcasing the heifers, cows, and breeder herds that rose to the top of one of the most fiercely contested show seasons in recent memory. From summer calves to longtime production legends, this year’s list blends fresh faces, repeat powerhouses, and a few storybook runs that will shape breeding decisions for years.

Breeder’s Herd: When a Prefix Becomes a Powerhouse
Breeder’s Herd is where bragging rights get serious. One great cow can be luck; three great cows under the same prefix is a breeding program doing exactly what it set out to do.
- All‑Canadian Breeder’s Herd
JACOBS DESTINY BALLA, JACOBS EXCALIBUR BAHAMAS, JACOBS UNIX CARFUL
Exhibitor/Breeder: Ferme Jacobs Inc. - Reserve Breeder’s Herd
FAMIPAGE BELIEVE BLUE, FAMIPAGE LEGEND BARABAS, FAMIPAGE LAMBDA CLANDESTINE

SWEETVIEW ALLIGATOR HYSTERIA, SWEETVIEW IMPRESSION HEMILIA, SWEETVIEW TATOO LEGEND RAE

Ferme Jacobs has a long track record of dominating Breeder’s Herd at national‑level contests, and seeing that prefix back on top in 2025 reinforces their reputation for deep cow families that hit the ring and the barn with equal force.
The All‑Canadian list is more than just a trophy wall – it’s a live market signal on which cow families, sires and programs are actually converting hype into hardware. The consistency of prefixes like Jacobs, Micheret, Blondin, MilkSource, Westcoast, Butlerview, Belfast, Delcreek and Famipage across multiple classes tells you exactly where depth of cow families and show‑ring type are clustering right now.
