Farm Photographs 0f1994 Dairy Of Distinction Winners
Harold and Janet Shearer’s family has been farming this Dairy of Distinc
tion since 1939 when Harold’s father bought the farm. In April of this year,
Donna and Jason Wadle took over the farm and have been doing very well
with Registered Holstein cows that average 20,000 m 700 f 630 p. But right
now It’s disappointingly dry. They have 475 acres with 25 in pasture and
more acres that could be adapted to the new push to rotational graze the
cows. They believe it takes diligent work and the ability to make things hap
pen. Harold said when he was younger, farming was fun, but lately It has
become more of a drag, so he is pleased that a young couple have taken
over the dairy herd.

JUNIATA
My-Ke Holsteins have a new Dairy of Distinction home. Located one mile
soufh of Port Royal in Juniata County, Ron and Desi Mummah and their
daughters Danielle, 15, and Ronda, 13, farm 252 acres and milk 65 Regis
tered Holsteins and have an additional 65 head of young stock. Milk produc
tion average is 21,000 lbs. The farm has been in the family 10 years. They
milk in a tie-stall barn and raise corn, alfalfa, and a few oats. They believe the
most important management practice is to keep the cows cool. The cows
are out in the mornings and at night but kept in the barn during the day.
