King's Court Dairies is a company with many different sides.
Of course we are milking our cows, but Holstein-breeding is our big passion.
Besides that, we rent off land, we have a campground, sheep and Galloway cows,
which are used in the dunes to take care of the vegetation in a natural way.
The company is situated in Egmond.

The company name is based on it. The company is situated
next to it! |
King's Court has approx.75 ha. including 30 ha. dunes.
About 13 ha. is rented off for bulbs, the rest of the land is used for grass
and corn.
At this moment we are milking about 40 cows with an average production of 10400
kg. milk with 4,03% fat and 3,33% protein in 331 days.
In summer we feed the cows with fresh grass and we feed corn and pallets inside. In
winter they get silage and hay.
The breeding is based on proven cowfamilies. Next to that we use various instruments
like indexes, Triple-A and so on.
We try to keep account for as many factors as possible.
The embryo's are sold to Germany, Denmark, Great-Brittany, Ireland, the USA
en sometimes in the Nederlands.
Most of the bulls are sold for AI.
