Thousands Attend State Holstein Picnic
SEVEN SPRINGS (Hunting
don Co.) Thousands of people
attended the annual state Holstein
picnic at the 2,500-acre Evergreen
Farms here, socializing, eating,
visiting the commercial exhibits
and touring the largest automated
dairy facility in the state.
A number of police and security
people were needed to handle the
flow of traffic which saw people
from all over the state and else
where come to see the 1,600-cow,
free-stall facility with its recycling
aisle-flush system, computerized
cow separators and double-40
computerized milking parlor.
Owned by R. Wayne Harpster,
the facility was recently completed
and cows moved in. Harpster said
he expects to have it running at full
capacity by January.
The facility is one-of-a-kind in
design, size, and siting. The Everg
reen Farms has hosted the state
picnic previously, but never have
that many people attended. The
picnic was combined with a gener
al open house.
