Shadyoak Holsteins Holstein Breeders located in Sale, Victoria. We have a range of pedigrees including High Genomic, T The pair have a true passion for cows and the dairy industry.

Shadyoak Holsteins is owned and operated by Mark & Narelle Boardman and located in Gippsland, Victoria. The herd is still being built up in numbers with 300 animals including 200 milkers. The split calving herd is milked on approximately 205 acres of flood irrigated pasture in the MacCalister Irrigation District. The herd is milked through a 20 swing over. Approximately 50% of the herd are registered Holsteins with the balance being xbreds as well as a handful of Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire and Milking Shorthorns bred up from a xbred. We focus on using the latest genetics to breed functional, good uddered, fertile cows. Red, polled and A2 also feature in our breeding program. Select heifers and all bulls are genomically tested to identify desirable traits.
