Elm Park farms was founded in 1923 by Louis H. Prange, and a Holstein breeding program was established, thru the importation of cows from Canada, specifically the Abbekerk bloodlines. This was while the farm was operated by Louis H. Prange. When Henry C. Prange took over the farm, registered cattle were not the focus. |
Lou & Max Prange accept on behalf of Elm Park Farms their 16th Premier Breeder award at the 2009 World Dairy Expo. Because Lou is now assuming other management responsibilities, Max is taking an ever expanding role in the management of Elm Park Farms, particularly the cows and shows |
| It was not until 1974 when Elm Park Farms, Ltd., as it is known today, re-established the registered herd, and purchased an Interest Gene Acres Felicia May Fury (5 E – 97) Supreme Champion WDE – 1974. John Gages Duallyn herd was purchased in 1976. This was the nucleus of the first Elm Park Red & White herd, which was dispersed in 1980, and then rebuilt to the current herd represented on our web site. |
