Calhoun farm carries on with Guernsey line in Hoosick Falls
Hoosick Falls farmer John L. Calhoun and his brother Raymond E. Calhoun run the Rosendahl Guernsey dairy herd on 600 acres. They breed, show, and market milk through Hood's in Boston while facing rising grain costs and lower milk prices. Despite hardships including a 1971 accident, a 1951 fire, and a 1960s bovine disease outbreak, the family promotes 4-H and maintains prized cattle such as Nyala Kings Cavalier descendants and Diamond Sparkler, with ongoing show success and plans for future generations.
