Welcome to the Maryland Holstein Association

Maryland is a very unique state because there are a large number of superior Registered Holstein herds in a relatively small geographic area.
Most of Maryland is a short drive from several major airports: Baltimore, Dulles, Washington, or Philadelphia. Sightseeing in Baltimore and Washington D.C. can make your stay with us even more enjoyable. Be sure to allow time to really enjoy your visit with us! The Maryland Holstein Association is ready to assist you, whatever your needs may be:

• Travel Plans
• Select Embryos
• Outstanding Cows
• Deep-Pedigreed Heifers
• Genetically Superior Bulls
• Breeders Map
