From Cars to Cows..,
The Jefferson Yoder story should be on inspiration to
young folks today who want to farm but cannot raise the initial
investment. How did Jeff Yoder do it? HE DROVE INTO
dairying;
Raised on a farm in Mifflin County, Pa., Jeff Yoder was
determined to have a farm of his own. In 1948 he began haul
ing new cars with a tractor-trailer, delivering cars along the
eastern seaboard for five years. In 1953 he was able to buy the
farm he wanted. He also bought some calves of outstanding
breeding stock. While his younger brother, Nick, raised the
calves Jeff continued his tractor-trailer hauling for three more
years, in 1956 Jeff Yoder quit driving and began milking.
Here is a part of the 30-cow Rocky Side herd. There ere
also about 30 heifers ranging in age from six months to near
calving. These heifers will serve as replacements and to en
large the herd. The herd at Rocky Side*farm is basically “Rag
apple" breeding and has been carefully built around outstanding
foundation animals. All bull calves are raised. Some are sold
for breeding, and others are marketed as steers.
Here's the way Jeff Yoder fed his cows at Rocky Side
Farm. Red Rose 34% Dairy Supplement was used to balance
home-grown grains. Jeff believes in the nutritional boost that
Red Rose Rumenator Pellets offer and feeds it to his calves, milk
ers and dry cows. He also includes Red Rose Free-Choice Mineral
and other Red Rose specialty feeds in his feeding program.
The Rocky Side herd proves the old adage once again
Good Management, Good Breeding, and Good Feeding equals
SUCCESS!
