Knoll herd, which has won past
state herd production awards,
traces primarily to a bull calf
purchased from the noted
Dunloggin Farms.
Fondly recalled by Walker as
“the best bull we ever had,”
Dunloggin Master Stroke sired 75
daughters in the Rolling Knoll
herd. Several of the Master Stroke
daughters earned showstring
honors, including six grand
champions at the Maryland State
Fair.
A double-crossed bloodline
grandaughter of Master Stroke
was selected the best uddered
individual at the Chicago national
show, about the early 1960’5.
Walkers’ Gaithersburg farm was
sold in 1962, and urban homes now
cover the pasture where the herd
once grazed. In 1964, the cattle
were sold and Walker took a
position with an area feed com
pany.
He served on the board of the
Maryland Holstein Association for
Long-time Maryland Holstein leader Ralph Walker, left, was
honored as the outstanding senior breeder-by the state breed
organization, represented by Russel Wachter.
