Simple rule for success in dairying outlined
Jacksonville based J C Penney, chair of Foremost Dairy Products, argues the Southern dairy farm's future lies in breeding. He notes three purebred sires at Penney Farms—a Guernsey, a Holstein, and a Jersey—proving strong reproduction and high milk daughters.
