Cutting and Crimping Alfalfa On Keener Farm At Manheim
The Keener dairy on the Clarence Keener farm near Manheim uses a rotary mower to cut alfalfa. Cows receive a mix of home grown grains and a protein supplement in summer and more grain in winter. The herd shows strong milk production with 1958 average butterfat at 474 pounds per cow and a standout cow, Level Valley Pabst Lillie, on pace for a record year. One cow and two others are milked three times daily while the rest are twice.
