    Red And White Fever
ELIZABETHTOWN (Lancas
ter Co.) Kenny Myers of Eliza
bethtown hosted a tour for a bus
load of dairy enthusiasts at the
Red and White Dairy Cattle As
sociation’s National Convention
in New Holland Aug. 1-2.
Myers manages a milking herd
of 75 cows here on Myerose
Farm. Three-fourths of them are
Red and White, and all the black
and white Holsteins in the herd
carry the red factor gene.
Myers started building the Red
and White herd in the early
19705. His dad, Sam, had milked
Guernseys on the farm prior to
Kenny stepping into herd man
agement.
Beside the increasing presence
of the breed in the U.S., Kenny
said there is a particularly strong
demand for Red and Whites in
Europe and South America.
Of his cow preferences, Myers
said, “I like the good black ones
if they have the red factor.”
Myers’s herd includes four Ex
cellent cows and a number of
Very Goods.
Kenny Myers is shown here on tour day with a
7-year-old cow classified VG-87. Photo by Dave Lefever
Convention-goers also toured
Cyagra/Em Tran, and partici-
pated in numerous other activi
ties, including a silent auction,
awards banquet, and the annual
meeting of the Red and White
Dairy Cattle Association.
