Keith Goerks credits son Brian for saving his life after a dairy barn incident. The bull charged, knocked him down and gored him repeatedly as Brian, unseen by his father, waited near the feeder. The elder Goerks feared he would not survive the brutal assault.
Keith Goerks nearly died when a purebred Holstein bull attacked on the Sauk County farm. Son Brian grabbed a pipe, struck the bull's nose, and aided his father to safety before ambulances and neighbors arrived. The bull, usually gentle, had shown exceptional strength that day. Mr. Goerks spent a week in hospital and another at home, now gradually returning to farm work.
At Fall Creek farm, Myron Wathke, his son Larry, and brother Dale mix alfalfa haylage with corn silage in a single 16 by 55 foot silo. The method extends haulage, stabilizes third-cut alfalfa, frees time for grain corn harvest, and may reduce milk fever by lowering calcium content. The 60 cow Holstein herd averages about 700 pounds butterfat and 19,000 pounds milk.
Ken and Sue Massey of Hollandale say they cannot keep the donations they received after their FarmAid story.
