The honor of being Manitoba's Outstanding Young Farmers was awarded this weekend to Darren & Allison Hueging of Current Holsteins, located near Woodlands.
Darren and Allison have been together at Current Holsteins since they were married in 2011.
From 2013 to 2015, the family herd grew with the arrivals of Jocelyn, Myers, and Madden who have proven to be helpful hands around the farm and show a keen interest in business and agriculture.
Allison is a licensed veterinarian with a focus on preventative bovine medicine, and she details the focus they put on maximizing production, just one of their many points of excellence.
"So we dairy farm in woodlands, Manitoba, we also have 300 head of beef, cows and have forge production as well. We really focus on herd health and longevity and productive animals."
Darren is thrilled to have this level of recognition, and even more so to be part of the MOYF family.
"Yeah, we're just learning that family, but it feels they've welcomed us already. And we're looking forward to many more years being part of this and yeah, it's a great feeling. "
The next step is the national stage, which is set for November in Toronto.
