Peace & Plenty Farm in Union Bridge, Maryland, owned by the Schwartzbeck family has been recently chosen as the 2025 recipient of the Robert “Whitey” McKown Master Breeder Award by the Klussendorf Association. That honor celebrates generations of dedication to advancing the Holstein breed, a commitment evident in every aspect of their dairy operation.
Farm recognized as master breeder
Having bred over a dozen All American nominations in the past two years, the Peace & Plenty herd won the 2025 McKown Master Breeder Award from the Klussendorf Association. The success for the Maryland herd comes from Joe and Nona, Schwartzbeck, their son Gus and his wife Lisa, their sons Davis and Austin, and Austin’s wife Lauren, and Austin’s sister Aubrey. Shown in the photo is the extended Schwartzbeck family who work on the genetic and showring success.
