Started by the Hushon family in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1991, Brothers Three has bred or developed 39 All-American Nominations including 9 All-Americans, 8 Reserve, and the Junior Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2001, Brothers Three Wisper. Named a Superior Brood Cow by the Brown Swiss Association, Wisper has 11 Excellent daughters and half of the B3 AA Nominations trace back to her. In 2009, Brothers Three received the National Brown Swiss Young Breeder Award.

Since 2016, Ayrshires have been part of the B3 program through Casey’s love for them that was fostered on her family’s dairy in Maine. Last year, all three Ayrshires Brothers Three exhibited were in the top four at World Dairy Expo, and they exhibited the Junior Champion at Wisconsin State Show on the way to Madison.

Josh works for Cargill Animal Nutrition, serving as Strategic Marketing Lead for Dairy in North America. Casey is the Executive Director of Hope Church, a large non-denominational church in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

Nick Sarbacker

Nick and Jessica Sarbacker’s love of the Holstein breed started many years ago on their family’s farms - Fischerdale Holsteins and Agnew Farms, respectively. A short 12 years ago, these two got married and began their lives together, and began ‘Heritage Holsteins’- a now household name in the show industry. Their first purchase and matriarch of Heritage Holsteins is still rooming the pasture at Heritage Holsteins, KY-Blue Gw Debbie-ET EX 94. Other notable cow families that Nick & Jessica have developed over the years include: The purchase of Linerway-CM Absol Sassy-ET EX 91, from this family they bred Heritage Sassy Lipstick-Red who was Junior Champion at the 2018 Midwest Spring National Red and White show. The Sarbackers also played a part in the development of several other All- American and All-Canadian Nominations like Aingers Advent Bambi who was Intermediate Champion at the Royal Winter Fair. Recently they have been investing in key maternal lines in the breed, owning a daughter out of SSI Doc Have Not 8784- ET and two granddaughters of Rosiers Goldwyn Blexy-ET. They also enjoy helping others excel in the show ring. This past year helping friends achieve the 2022 Junior Champion of the International Holstein Show.

Marketing cattle is an area that Nick & Jessica have truly mastered - whether it be their beautiful display at various shows, Nick’s talent behind the camera, their creative social media posts, or the revolutionary Cattleclub.com. Nick has built and created Cattleclub.com which provides breeders the opportunity to sell embryos, semen, and live cattle at the tips of their fingers. Nick also provides marketing services for fellow breeders, capturing pictures and videos which have given breeders the opportunity to market their animals and genetics to the fullest potential and reach an audience across the globe while also capturing those moments that “last a lifetime”.
