TriStar Service Options

PREMIER
The Premier option provides all of the production records services the Holstein Association offers. It includes 365-day production records, all of the herd reports, herd recognition eligibility, allows cows to be included on Locator List and allows records to be considered for State and National Leader Lists. The Premier option is best for producers who are actively marketing their Registered cattle, as it provides the most complete production records data that Holstein Association publishes.
*** Pedigree records with three stars indicate the Premier option.

$30 annual fee, plus 25 cents per Registered cow per month

DELUXE
The Deluxe option includes 365-day production records, herd recognition eligibility and allows cows to be considered for the Locator List. The Deluxe option is a good choice for producers who want more complete information than is provided by the Custom option.
** Pedigree records with two stars indicate the Deluxe option.

$20 annual fee, plus 15 cents per Registered cow per month

CUSTOM
The Custom option is designed for producers who want 305-day production records published on their herd’s pedigrees, but are not interested in herd or cow recognition programs. This economical choice also allows for Herd reports and 365-day records to be published for additional charges.
* Pedigree records with one star indicate the Custom option.
