producing dairy herds were
honored recently for top
production in their counties.

Dairy Herd Improvement
Association average in its
county. And each herd is in a
tie-stall barn, meaning the
dairyman can give close
attention to individual cows.

Naaman Stoltzfus family
had the top average in the
Red Rose County.
Stoltzfus’ 32 milkers
