Teresa Wolfskill
the 1977 Berks County Dairy
Princess Pagent and decided
right then and there that she
would enter the contest the
following year.
Teresa not only entered
the pageant held last June,
but also won the coveted
Teresa Wolf skill
title, replacing Sandy Miller,
the 1977 Berks County Dairy
Princess. Teresa knew what
she was getting into and was
well prepared.
Appearing before large
audiences was npthmg she
had to become accustomed
to. This talented young lady
has previously been in
musicals while attending
Conrad Weiser High School
where she graduated as the
class historian in 1977.
Teresa also performs m the
English Hand-bell Choir of
Saint Daniels Lutheran
Church, Robesonia, and
serves as the assistant
organist there.
At 18, Teresa is very en
thusiastic about promoting
the dairy industry and it’s
primary product. Presently
she lives with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Wolf
skill, Robesonia Rl, where
she also works, attending to
the dairy herd of which 55
are now milking.
Teresa’s duties include
milking morning and
evening, raising and
registering the calves,
keeping the records and
mating the cows. She will
also assist with many of the
other aspects mvolved in the
farming operation as help is
needed.
The Wolfskills maintain a
rolling herd average of
18,030 pounds of milk and 692

pounds butterfat. The entire
operation consists of ap
proximately 625 acres, the
dairy herd and a beef fat
tening operation numbering
200 head.
This dairy prmcess has
three cows and a heifer of
her own. The first cow was
acquired from her father,
because Teresa had saved
it’s life. This happened
several years ago when she
had wandered m the dairy
bam and unexpectedly found
a cow giving birth to a calf
that was positioned wrong.
Teresa had to assist the cow
by pulling the calf which
would not have survived
without her help. Because of
this endeavor, the calf,
named LuLu, was given to
Teresa.
This year LuLu was
classified 86-VG and of
course, Teresa plans to keep
her and continue to increase
her herd. However, next
Summer Teresa’s cows will
be moved to a new home:
her fiance’s farm, which is
also a dairy.
With all of her duties at
home and as the Berks
County Dairy Princess,
Teresa doesn’t have very
much for anything else
besides her music.
As of October, she has
already traveled 1282 miles
and visited 600 elementary
school children as Berks
County Dairy Princess.
Teresa has set a goal to see
at least 1000 school children
during her reign and will
probably surpass that
number.
Being the dairy princess
for Berks County keeps this
young dairywoman busy
every week. She made 13
different appearances in
October alone. She has
been in parades, on radio
and television, attended
meetings and banquets,
appeared m supermarkets
and at local fairs, as well as
at Ag Progress Days.
Best of all, Teresa enjoys
the grade schools and finds
them the most rewarding.
“The kids ask funny
questions,” she remarked
with a smile. “They are a
big help in promoting milk
too, because they go home
and tell their parents.” she
added.
As part of her program
aimed at the grade school
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 18,1978—127
children, the dairy princess
passes a jar containing
whipping cream around the
room. Each child takes a
turn at shaking the jar until
butter is formed.
“Talking to people in
supermarkets also helps to
sell dairy products,” Teresa
remarked. “Everyone is
very receptive, and in
terested in what I have to
say.” Dairy princesses let
people know that the dairy
industry exists, and han
ding out appealing recipes
help to sell our products.
One recipe that Teresa has
found to be good and easy to
make is Cottage Noodle
Bake. This dish is full of
delicious dairy products and
fits in well with leftovers
such as ham, corned beef, or
even turkey. The recipe is as
follows:
COTTAGE NOODLE BAKE
6 servings
1 package (8 oz.) medium
noodles
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup minced omon

When Teresa happens to
find some free tune from all
of her many activities, she
likes to participate in
volleyball or softball games,
bake or sing. She is looking
anxiously towards her future
in the dairy industry, and
can not think of any happier
or more fulfilling way of life.
