We couldn’t achieve this success without our family, especially our sons who put in the work to get our group ready year after year. To say we are very proud of our herd is one thing, to say we are proud of our boys who have grown their passion and skills is an understatement. We also have the next generation, our grandkids, who are growing their love for the Holstein cow and the show industry which is something we hold dear to our herats. Our grandson Jamison competed in his first Novice class and took home first place, his smile was priceless to us!
And finally, we have a talented crew of friends and family who help us every year get the group out to the show ring and we couldn’t appreciate their abilities or dedication more! Thank you to all - now we are on to our county fair where more grandkid fun will be had!
