Kristine and her family own and operate East-Branch Holsteins and Livestock located in Bonduel, WI. The farm consists of all homebred animals with the exception of a September calf that was recently purchased at the Redfest sale to add some color to their herd. Kristine also owns a couple Brown Swiss. She is the owner of Kalypso Salon in Green Bay and has been the owner for the past five years. Her business continues to grow with increased sales and staff. Owning a salon has allowed Kristine to travel to Chicago, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and Orlando for continuing education and leadership and business development classes. Kristine has showed at the WI State Fair and District Shows for the last 20 plus years and she won the Best Dressed Female award at last year's Futurity show. While working at the Salon as the owner and master stylist, Kristine still helps at the farm with chores and milking on a weekly basis. Make sure to look for Kristine and East-Branch Holsteins at the Futurity show!
Futurity Fun Fact: Exhibiting at the Futurity is a great accomplishment for our exhibitors, however all the exhibitors will have their eyes on the top three grand prizes. The second place prize is $750 and is generously sponsored by International Protein Sires (IPS). IPS is a division of Our Help, Inc. and was founded in 1991 by Ron and Sandy Sersland. In 1999, Our Help, Inc. purchased an artificial insemination company known as International Protein Sires which opened the door to access Australian and European genetic markets through established distributers. Ron Sersland is responsible for sire selection and will personally travel wherever a customer needs him to inspect a daughter of their bulls. IPS takes pride in offering bulls that will do the right job for customers no matter where a customer might be located in the world. International Protein Sires philosophy has always been based upon the concept of providing quality products that they would use and buy and providing quality service that they would want to receive.
