Our Herd

Hacienda Macalauan’s dairy products are derived primarily from a tropically ideal breed, Holstein Friesian Sahiwal cows, which came from Australia and New Zealand. The Holstein Friesian breed originated in Holland and the Sahiwal breed originated from Pakistan. This type of cross breeding takes advantage of the high milk production of the Holstein breed and the heat tolerance of the Sahiwal breed. The herd is constantly being upgraded and provided with the best possible care to ensure good health and maximum productivity. Illness is minimized by providing a sanitary environment, specialized diet and compassionate, attentive daily care.
