Mount Victoria Farms and the Montvic Rag Apple Bloodlines : A Personal View
|
| Abstract |
Mount Victoria Farms was the Hudson, Quebec, home of T.B. Macaulay (1860-1942). Macaulay, President of Sun Life Company from 1915 to 1934, bought the farm in 1900 as a country home and hobby farm. In the 1920s, he purchased Johanna Rag Apple Pabst "Old Joe" (1921-1933), a prize-winning Holstein bull, and six pure-bred Holstein cows. By applying the principles of genetics, which guided his actuarial tables at Sun Life, Macaulay was able to create an excellent herd. Members of this herd, which was dispersed upon his death in 1942, are the ancestors of most pure-bred Holstein cattle in the world today.
