Holstein Australia UK Exchange

Holstein Australia and Holstein UK provide a young and aspiring Holstein breed enthusiast from each country with the opportunity to spend a month overseas being hosted by Holstein members and taking in dairy show and event highlights each year.

For Australian breeders aged between 18 - 26 years, the exchange provides the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of how dairy farming in the UK compares to that of Australia and bring back vital understanding to develop their own career in agriculture.

The exchange takes place in September and October. It includes return air fares and hosted accommodation on Holstein UK members’ dairy farms throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The return leg of the exchange, with a Holstein young breeder from the UK visiting Australia, takes place in January and February.

To find out more email youth@holstein.com.au or call the Holstein Australia office on (03) 9835 7600. Applications open May / June and are publicised on Holstein Australia's Facebook and Instagram accounts.
