Joe Golinvaux Builds a Purebred Guernsey Herd Against Odds
In Ulackawk county, Joe Golinvaux transformed a small farm into a thriving Guernsey operation. Beginning with four grade heifers in 1920, he expanded to about 400 head on 30 acres, built $8,000 in improvements, and developed a noted dairy line including C. C. Memento and Cherry’s lineage. Despite early financial strain, he funded purchases by trading animals and labor, earned ribbons at dairy shows, and shaped a strong herd with standout cows like Rosealie of Mouilpied and Grace Darling lineage.
