When it comes to raising calves, Mohomed Elsheikh, DVM, feed department and calf manager at North Florida Holsteins, a 6,000-cow dairy in Bell, Florida, believes that proper management is the key to their success.

The 2019 National Holstein Convention was held at the Red Lion Paper Valley Hotel in Appleton, Wisconsin, June 24-27. Adults and juniors from throughout the U.S. and over 10 additional countries attended the annual event.

In 2015, MGD Farms in Union Grove, Wisconsin, added onto their calf barn to accommodate their growing herd. The 500-cow dairy is co-owned and managed by cousins Myron Daniels and Dave Daniels with help from their now semi-retired partner, Gene Weis.

The Reynolds family has decorated the property of their Reynolds Farm Equipment John Deere dealership in Fishers, Indiana, since 1992 with an array of farm and traditional nativity scenes, all lit up in Christmas lights for visitors to drive through during the Christmas season.

From a recent print issue, the article, “Recreation, rehabilitation at Duncan Dairy Farm and Corn Maze” features a unique experience a group of veterans had visiting a Pennsylvania dairy farm and corn maze. The group learned about the milking process, fed baby calves and cheered each other on in various friendly competitions.
