Rainyridge Holsteins now has a new home!
Although, the main farm in Laurier is still in full operation,
Rainyridge has a new branch in southern Manitoba.

Steven Boerchers and Ellen Gorter moved a majority of the marketable genetics
to a more convenient location in Beausejour, MB which is just 40 minutes from the
Winnepeg International Airport. Now clients and customers can easily visit and view
such ladies as Talent Barbara, Shottle Etain and the entire milking herd – most of which
traces back to Rainyridge Tony Beauty EX-5E 9*.
