Allen Duo Maintain Rural Iowa Dairy With 40 Herd Aim
Emil and Bill Allen operate a 220 acre dairy near New Sharon in the hills above the Skunk River. Since 1970 the father son partnership has upgraded with a 1972 pipeline and a 400 gallon cooler last fall. They milk about 37 cows from a 88 head herd, aim to keep it near 40, and use AI breeding while selling milk to Meinerz Creamery four times weekly.
