The Cornwall Farm's Jerseys
THE 120-HEAD Cornwall Farms registered Jersey milking herd is handled by four
milkers usmg a dumping-station, milk vat pump and plastic hose to the bulk tank from
the two milking barns into the adjoining milk room. Looking down the center aisle of
the ‘south barn here you can see half of the high-producing milk herd in the foreground,
with the other barn joined end-to-end in the background Ninety-eight cows in product
ion in the past testing year of DHIA averaged 8,408 lbs. of milk and 455 lbs. of butterfat,
with nearly one third of the herd composed of two-year-olds. —LF PHOTO
ED OSBORNE, on the chopper tractor, and Don McClure, one of his Pleasant Grove
community neighbors, are shown cutting silage in a field just below the Cornwall
Farms, buildings. The more than 500 acres of his operation includes land on both sides
of the Mason-Dixon line in the lower-Cbnow ingo Creek watershed. The fourth generation
of Osborne’s is active with the 180-head registered Jersy herd, as Ed’s oldest son has
started helping in the calf barn. Ed himself is an active community leader, serving on the
school board and as fire warden, among other civic duties. Mrs. Osborne, a native Ne
braskan, manages the big 15-room family home, helps with business records, cares for the
four youngsters, teaches music and is active in PTA. —LF PHOTO

founded the Cool Spring Farm herd in Harford County,
Maryland. It was at that time that their Pogis 99th Ace was
highest record superior sire in the Jersey breed.
