B4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 24,1983 (Continued from Page B 2) The Ohlmgers look hopefully towards an All-Pennsylvania nomination for "Cnsty." With Holsteins this good, there is always the question of mer chandising. To this, Connie says, "If she’s going to be good, she’s going to be mine.” The Reu-Hel dairy family is no stranger to merchandising. After taking over the 225-acre farm in 1975 from Ruth’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Fields, Ruth and Elwood built up the herd to ap proximately 125 milking animals and in 1980 they had a major reduction sale and sold ap proximately 235 head of top quality Holsteins, keeping only the older animals and the 4-H animals of the girls. "Milking one barnful is enough,” Connie and her mother agree. They milk in a stanchion barn equipped with pipeline, and previously had filled it twice when milking to accomodate the 100 plus animals in the 54 stanchion barn. Among the older cows there is Reu-Hel Farms Sunshine Amy, currently 17 years of age and retired to live out her days in the Reu-Hel pastures. “Amy” is a 92- 4£ Harbourcrest Sunshine daughter with a lifetime of over 250,000 pounds of milk and a high record of 305 days, 26,375 cheese on • i N > BURGERS ( bb^^ > J a Picnic v ' flight NEW FULL SPECTRUM LIGHTS, MORE LIKE NATURAL SUNLIGHT.

She is the dam of Reu-Hel Farms Big Mac, who sold to Japan in 1979 after being named Reserve All-American 2 Year old bull in 1978. "Amy” also has a "Conductor” son on the farm which the Ohlmgers are working to prove. “Amy” also happens to be the granddam of “Cnsty”. "There are two excellent cow families behind my herd,” Connie states. Many of her heifers trace back to the "Amy” cow or to an "Ex cellent” Astronaut cow. Her mother states that they often had to “subsidize” Connie since she has had the bull calves and Cathy gets the heifer calves. Wat’s in the future for this dairy family and their bovmes?
