Merry Christmas To All Our Readers
A Reindeer Of A Different Coat
No symbol represents the milk of human kindness better
than old Saint Nick... unless that symbol happens to be a
Brown Swiss calf in Santa’s hat. Since the Claus was too busy
this week to keep his interview appointment at Lancaster
Farming’s editorial office, he sent one of his emissaries, and
the Swiss Miss’ message was udderly clear: Have a dairy
Christmas! Move over, Rudolph.
GLORY TO COD
IN THE HIGHEST
