Area churches raise funds to send 50 heifers to India
Area churches in Southern Lorain County plan to ship 50 Holstein heifers to India to boost milk production. Rev. Ron Fruth leads the Ohio project with nine Protestant denominations and secular groups. Each locally raised heifer costs about 300 dollars, with India covering transport, and the effort aims to cross breed Indian cattle with American stock to speed milk improvements. Bulls will also be sent for artificial insemination to accelerate the program.
