Darren and Allison Hueging met in 2005 while studying in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Manitoba. Current Holsteins was established in Woodlands, MB when Darren, along with his family, purchased a second farm in 2006. The farm consisted of a 50 cow tie-stall and 75kg of quota.

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. She enjoys educating and helping other producers two days a week, in addition to her co-lead role on the farm.

The primary goal of the dairy is to efficiently maximize butterfat per stall by optimizing genetics and environment with an emphasis on calf health. Current Holsteins now milks 80 cows twice daily with a DHI average of 585kg butterfat per lactation.

For the beef herd, the focus is to optimize weaning rates by improving genetics and making use of marginal land.
In 2019, Current Holsteins completed its succession plan with Darren and Allison becoming full owners. While they overcame challenges along the way, the farm has blossomed and now includes 156kg of quota, 4000 acres of land; 1200 which are used for forage production to feed both the dairy herd and their 300 cow-calf operation.
Current Holstein’s mission is to excel in animal health, sustainably grow the farm and be a positive influence in our community. Darren and Allison are grateful to be a part of the Canadian agriculture industry and farm in Manitoba.
