Their farm has been a growing
enterprise since the move, and
many changes have been made to
improve the operation. Two
nearby farms were acquired and a
retail dairy store was built.
Originally the Wolff’s were
Guernsey breeders but made the
transition to Holsteins in 1972 when
they became serious about mer
chandising their cattle, and Denny
and his wife, Lois, became part
ners in the business with his
parents. Denny and Lois are
gradually buying out the parent’s
share of the business, and now own
all the cattle and equipment. They
have their own family of four
children coming up. The children,
Elizabeth, Corey, Benjamin, and
Timothy, are still young and have
not yet started working on the
farm, but will get their chance
soon enough, said Wolff.
A total of 500 acres are farmed,
with 200 acres in alfalfa, 200 acres"
in corn and 100 acres in pasture
and grass. The herd recieves a
ration of haylage, com silage, high
moisture shelled com and soybean
oil meal.
Wolff has expanded his herd to a
total of 400 head, 130 are cows the
remainder are young stock. The
reason for the small proportion of
cows to young stock is Wolff’s
extensive use of embryo transfer
in his breeding program, thereby
generating more offspring from
his cows.
The rolling herd average is
18,000 pounds of milk and 700
pounds of fat. Twenty-five of the
cows are classified as excellents,
19 as good plus and 65 as very good,
leaving no room for slackers in the
97 tie stall bam. Wolff credits
much of the success of his
