And although the injuries may
have caused some tears years ago,
they are recollected amid gales of
laughter.
At age 10, all the Hallowells
recieved a heifer calf. Jim and
Emily's heifers proved to be
prolific cow mothers while Susan
and Pen watched bull calf after
bull calf go to market. All mem
bers of the UNAMI 4-H club, the
children showed for several years
at the Middletown Grange Fair.
Breaking heifers to lead was no
problem as Susan and Emily
usually could be found with a
couple heifers in tow. In fact, they
performed their task so well that
even without halters the heifers
would follow the girls.
Athletic competition was high on
the list of school activities for
everyone and all but Susan ran
track.
Most of the legwork, however,
took place between the bam and
house. Their father started a
tradition of running from the barn
and soon he had many com
petitors.
"We were always trying to beat
Pop,” recalls Jim.
Pen, Jr. remembers this family

• Super Z features
: a cold plate that’s
' super efficient with
either Rl2 or R 22
refrigerant.
• Super Z’s
polyurethane foam
exceeds insulation
levels of any
manufacturer.
• Super Z’s agitation
is superior because
of an unusual paddle
design, which forces
warm milk to the
bottom of the tank
and across the coo
ing plate. This
allows a more
gentle and thorough
mixing.
• Super Z has a
strong interior
design which can
only be balanced by
a fine, brilliantly

Hallowells ever walk anywhere'’.
The oldest Hallowed son used his
farm-honed talent for the pole
vault and high jump. Jim com
peted in the 440 and ran anchor leg
in the mile relay Emily’s record
for the 440 still holds at Palisades
High School Although Susan didn’t
compete in track her running
talents were evident in her chosen
sports of field hockey and
basketball.
Pen, Jr. was also active in Glee
Club, school plays and musicals,
student council and ice hockey.
In high school, Jim enjoyed
soccer and played saxophone in the
school band. In addition to sports,
Susan served as a member of the
Palisades Student Council while
Emily plied her talents in field
hockey and served as Bucks
County Dairy Princess in 1978.
Throughout their 4-H career, all
the children held offices.
Much has changed at Pennywell
Farm since the children recieved
their first calf or stood on a chair to
dump milk into the bulk tank. A
new barn was added to ac
commodate the 80-cow milking
herd, bucket milkers were
replaced with a pipeline and their
dad went to work in Harrisburg.
Tt wasn’t like the family farm
The Beta-Z System is the most advanced com
puterized feeding system on the market, it is the first
time that the dairy farmer can computerize his manage
ment system. Just think what this can do for you...
Beta-Z can feed each cow according to its production.
The cow's number, along with the responder code, the aim.
dispensing and time of feeding are ail programed by the farmer in the Betz
tem. As the cow enters the feed manager, the responder (unit worn on
neck) code is transmitted to the computer where it is checked 15 times to
proper cow identification. The Beta-Z then feeds according to the way
programmed. During, or at the end of any feed cycle the farmer can
from the Beta-Z the amount of feed any cow did not eat. Beta-Z
expanded to include cow calendar, milk weighing, system analyst
heat detection. Also Beta-Z can interfaced with a micro-computi
