| Originally
started by Lloyd’s parents, Delmar & Mary Wicks, Grasshill has progressed from leasing its first cows (to establish which
genetics it wanted to base the herd on) to breeding 5
Canadian Champion Producers, 10 Ex cows, and
exporting cattle to over 60 countries, among them top
show and production winners
in countries such as England, Ireland, and
Australia. ET work
and bull sales both domestically and abroad have augmented heifer &
milk sales, and early on led to our policy of limiting exposure in the
show ring in the interests of protecting the herd’s long-held CHAH
status.

‘Grasshill’
is a Family Farm focusing on developing profitable
genetics- animals with the will to work and the type to sustain high
production year after year. A long-time breeder of purebred
Holsteins, we have now
added their caprine counterpart— purebred
Saanens. The
initial animals purchased have been carefully selected for production,
type and pedigree, to provide a strong genetic base on which to build.
One, for example, is the EX, *P, 2001 Grand Champion, Best Udder, Best
in Breed Saanen doe- Canadian East National
Show.
