300-acre dairy in Spring Creek, Warren Co. farm robust and profitable.
They milk 48 head of registered Holstelns at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. out of a
stanchion to a milking pipeline. The herd average, because of the heat
and slow pasturing, has not been up to expectations, and the cows tend
to stay Inside during the hot weather, so they’ve been feeding them hay
in the barn. They grow all their corn. The hay is tested by a nutritionist
twice a month. The family, including James 11, 27; Steven, 26; Gary, 23;
Mark, 21; Julie, 17; Jennifer, 13; and Kristy, 10, all work on the farm,
which has been in the family about 70 years. The family recently built a
swimming pool, which was difficult to do, said Leslie, because of the hilly
area. She says the family farm on the hill “is really beautiful, and people
come from miles to see it.” The Leofskys enjoy time with their four
grandchildren.
