WESTMORELAND
Herbert Guyer farms 106 acres on his farm and then rents some to keep his
27 registered milking Guernseys in top shape. He sells to Turnner’s Dairy
and it Is sold for a protein load marketed for cheese manufacture. Right now
he gets a premium of 22 cents a point over 3.2 percent protein on his herd
which averages between 3.5 to 3.6 percent protein. His herd Is not on test
with Pa.DHIA, so he doesn't have specific details on production. The 27-stall
stanchion barn was remodeled in 1963. He and his wife Helen raise all their
own replacement animals and keep about 35 heifers. Helen does most of the
flower and yard work and keeps up the 300-yard farm lane. A mile from Key
stone State Park and along the road, they get viewed by a lot of people which
Is extra incentive to keep the place looking clean and well-cared for. “I like to
see It myself looking goodr said Herbert, 68, who has lived on the farm all his
life. It's a family farm and his father moved to It In 1924, when Herbert was a
month old. “My boys, two of them built houses on the farm, they work away,
but help a lot and own a good part of the cattle and show them a good bit,” he
said. He has four boys and two girls. Carol Sulkosky does milking. The farm
is also worth seeing for more than its beauty. Herbert said he has been using
the intensive grazing system for about five years. “Actually, I always did it,
because I had five paddocks and I always thought moving the cows was a
good Idea. I have 18 paddocks (now) and I move cows every two days.”
