2021 Holstein Association USA
National Judges Lists


Holstein Association USA is pleased to provide a list of certified judges that can be a resource for shows of all sizes around the country looking for a judge. Names and phone numbers are provided for everyone on the list, and those highlighted in blue have provided additional information including a photo, biography, and more about their judging experiences. Click on any highlighted name to link to additional information.

The list has two tiers — National and Qualified. All National Holstein Shows will be required to select their judges from the National list. Associate judges for National Shows must be selected from either the National or Qualified list. Nationally-sanctioned Junior Holstein Shows must select their judge from either the National or Qualified list.
