We are a family farm operated by 4 brothers and their families and two full time employees. The Bosdale prefix was started in 1972. We currently milk 180 cows and have a hog operation of 350 sows farrow to finish. We work 1000 acres of which 850 are owned.

The Holstein Herd consists of 52 EX, 110 VG and 30 GP animals. The past 6 years we have been Premier Exhibitor at Perth-Waterloo Holstein Show. We also won the Premier Breeder banner and had the winning Breeder's Herd 5 times during this period.

On our website you will find some of the cow families that have risen to the top at Bosdale, which we currently have the pleasure of working with. We are still investing in some of the top families of the breed and are looking forward to the new opportunities these animals bring to Bosdale Farms.

Thank you for taking the time to view our website. Please enjoy!
