A huge thank you going out to Jon Raymond Dykstra who is marking 10 years of working at Red Oak Farms! Your contributions have gone far beyond the regular milking duties: you have always been keen to help with tour groups, step up as needed during cropping, and of course freeze half to death during winter classification rounds! We're so grateful to have you on the Red Oak team ~ the Versteegs
