Ruths Expand Dairy Venture with Sale and Herd Upgrades
Ruth and son Joseph plan selling animals to focus on dairy production, expanding a Registered Holstein herd that includes breeding stock from Elizabethtown and Laurel. The operation, covering about 150 animals, relies on corn silage and alfalfa, with a 13 014 pound rolling milk yield and strong emphasis on udder and feet quality. Ruth, a longtime DHIA member since 1938, discusses coop governance and the need for honest management while detailing family roles and connections.
