Cookiecutter Holsteins

 Cookiecutter Holsteins was launched in 2004 with the purchase of MS KNGS-RNSM CHAMP HALEY-ET as a 6-month-old heifer. A flush to Goldwyn while Haley was a virgin heifer, resulting in eight full sisters, has perpetuated the family through varying branches. Today over 5,000 animals carry the Cookiecutter prefix.

While we have some animals remaining from our foundational lineages of Quiet Brook and Main-Drag Holsteins, as well as some others, our Cookiecutter animals make up much of our milking herd. Cookiecutter is a three-way partnership between Denise Dickinson, and Kyle and Luke Getty, who are all involved at Ideal Dairy full time. 

The Cookiecutter prefix evolved to identify our strong desire to develop a "cookiecutter" cow living in a "cookiecutter" world. We intentionally breed for desirable traits that sustain a high-producing and healthy cow. We are also very intentional about creating a consistent and optimal environment for cow health and comfort. A Cookiecutter cow in a Cookiecutter world!
