Etgen-Way Holsteins is owned and operated by first-generation dairy farmer Ty Etgen, who manages a herd of roughly 100 registered Holsteins.
Etgen has earned national recognition for his milk production by Holstein Association USA with the 2023 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award.
The award recognizes registered Holstein breeders between the ages of 21 and 40 for their accomplishments within the dairy industry and their commitment to preserving and advancing registered Holstein cattle.
Holstein Association USA recently celebrated 140 years of serving dairy farmers across the country.
